Marble drop

I worked with Santiago on this marble drop, our theme was picture/film. I came up with this theme because Santiago loves cameras and taking pictures... So why not? I fabricated the cameras and painted Dosa taking a picture with a camera. Santiago came up with most of the mechanical parts, so I didn't have a lot of difficulty. I guess the most difficult part was that the black spray paint cans were all empty. The marble travels down the ramp, through the camera, down the coiled tunnel, through the pipes and into the mini camera. We made the tracks out of wetted and formed mat boardand popsicle sticks. If I could change one thing... I would make it prettier and more accurate. I'm most proud of my painting because its the main esthetic that I did.

Pressure

I was really uninspired for this project, i sketched out a picture of the first thing that came to my mind: a bitten and beat up pencil. I tried making it out of clay but didn't look right to I scrapped it. I decided to just take some wire and spool it around. It looked like a carrot. I took a piece of cardboard and glued dirt on it then glued the carrot on it and spray painted the dirt to make it look darker. I spray painted a bunny shadow into the dirt. Here it is

I guess i like the idea of the piece maybe? But really I just don't like any of it. I wouldn't change anything about the piece, I would just do something else instead. Or maybe make it ginormous. Not too happy with it...Oh well. Can't all be winners.
