Gesso Piece

This is a large postarboard gesso piece illustrating an important moment of my life, track. The blue and red lines symbolize the lanes on the track and the foot essentially making a mark on these lanes. I was not totally happy with this piece because I do not like the color choice I chose. It seemed to patriotic and i do not like the color choices of the shoe. If I had to change something it would be making the shoe black and white and a little more bold. I do like the composition of the piece and what it represents. I would give it a 4.C because the work shows good application of 2-D design principles to an acceptable range of design problems. 

Visual Pun

This is my Visual Pun piece and it illustrates Buffal Wings. I ended up very happy with the simplicity and image in this piece and I also enjoyed creating it. I would have liked to made a background pertaining to the Great Plains, where a buffalo might be, but I ran out of time and didn't want to take away from the major element, the wings. In consequence I would grade it 4.B because the work demonstrates some originality, some innovative thinking and purposeful manipulation of the elements and principles of 2-D design.

Architecture Photos

These are the best of my architecture photos. I  struggled with this assignment because it was hard for me to find good architecture, but also making it look interesting and incorporating the elements and principles. i am happy with the photos I came up with, especially the blue window, but would have done it differently if given another chance to complete this project. For these reasons I would give myself a 4.I  because there may be uneven levels of accomplishment among the works, but overall the work is of good breadth and quality.
