Project VII: Mental Scars

 The human mind is a complicated organ, it has the ability to use a defense mechanism to keep a keen remembrance of negative emotions and memories in order to defend itself against other equally negative experiences - it adapts. Strong negative words, sounds, memories can lock itself into the brain and create a new person, someone different than who they were before. Abuse does this; all forms of abuse do this.

Project VII: Personal Research

Excuse the eraser.

Project VII: Personal Research & Thematic & Style Development

Through the use of a bit of medical knowledge, observation, and curiosity in order to show others how verbal abuse can affect the human psyche during and after such experiences.

Project VI: Breathe

Project VI: Cool or Warm Color & Unity & Variety

I decided to show the breathe of winter through the imaging of a girl going out and exhaling a breathe of air to show how the frost captures it. A breathe of magic through a child's imagination.

Project IV: Ocean in a Jar

Project IV: Space & Complementary, Scale & Porportion

My idea is to used everyday objects (a jar, some paper, glue & etc) to create the ocean in a jar, or to use creatures or ideas associated with the ocean to create a night light jar for my niece. She loves the ocean, and she loves the stories about mermaids and pirates, but she doesn't enjoy dark very much. I hope she'll appreciate the gift.

Project III: Rebirth

Project III: Texture & Colorscheme, Complement of Principle of Balanace

I wanted to create a fantasy wooden nymph and flowers to symbolize rebirth in nature. Women are often associated with purity and mother nature.

Project II: Seasonal Butterflies

Project II: Shape & Pattern

I love the idea of the seasonal changes of the year and how butterflies are something nice to see on those clear days. Especially in Texas where the seasons seem to change all within one day.

Project I: Immersion

Project I: Intention

The intention of my first "Line, Rhythm, Directional" piece I  have to decided to use 3 directional forces in order to draw the audiences' attention to the ripples water can create out to the sides, how hair becomes like liquid ink and flow upward, and lines dripping off the woman in order to draw their eyes down and be reminiscent of sound when played on a media player to show the differences of sound heard in water and on land.
