A4 Grid Art: Flower

-


For my 30x30 grid art project I chose to do a purple flower. When I was trying to come up with ideas of what I could make, I was sitting in front of my fake purple flower that I have on my dining room table in my apartment.  I decided that it went along with my "Flower in Reverse" flip book, so why not?! Although I enjoyed creating this art piece, it took a lot of time and many attempts to not burn myself with the hot glue gun (which I obviously did multiple times...). At first, I planned to do a purple flower with a green stem as seen in my other pixelated inspiration above.  However, I realized that I did not have enough green gems and most of the green gems were two big and did not fit with the flower.  However, I am pleased with the way it turned out seeing I worked very hard on it!

X2: ASCII Art

Image
ASCII art consists of a table of numbers and corresponding symbols.   However, ASCII uses letters, numbers, and control codes as well, but there are no graphics whatsoever used within ASCII artworks.   I find this to be very interesting seeing now you can do just about anything with graphic art on a computer.          I observed an ASCII work of art that was in the shape of a dog’s head, showing only ¾ of the dogs face with the tongue out.   It is interesting to me that just using letters and symbols on a keyboard can create such a lovely form of art.   However, I realized when you really take a look at the artwork, you do not see the details, but when you take a step back and don’t focus too much on one part of the dog head, you can see the eyes and the whites of the eyes as well as the glistening of the tongue and all.           I personally find ASCII art to be beautifully complex, yet so simple....

Music B5

Dubstep : Excision I chose this artist because I do listen to him quite frequently and I believe that he uses a large amount of base and high amounts of technology to create his music using electronics. He uses a lot of technology and electronics through the use of this DJ board. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbNIKR2pctU Girl Power : Beyoncé I chose this artist because I also listen to her very often seeing she is a very empowering woman, which makes me feel proud to be a woman. She uses many different types of technology to create the beats she sings powerful songs over.   Her music videos also use a lot of technology and electronics to create the idea she is trying to sing about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBmMU_iwe6U Electronic : Zedd, Diplo I chose both of these artists because they are two of my top favorite artists and have been for many years.   Their type of music explains on it’s own how they use technology and electronics. ...

A3: 21st Century Technology

-
21 st Century Technology (A3) Although there are many technologies that have been created within the 21 st century, a very commonly used app around the world that was thought up in 2008 and was created in 2009 has been extremely popular lately, especially for college students.   This app is called Uber and with just a click of a button a driver is at your door in just a few short minutes to bring you to your destination. The previous technologies that could have influenced creation of Uber are taxis, GPS systems, and smartphones. Taxis were created in the late 1800’s to provide transportation for citizens in large cities.   The passenger waits on the side of the road and waves down a taxi driver to come pick them up.   After getting into the taxi, the passenger provides the driver with a destination and by the end of the trip the taxi driver has a total amount of how much the taxi ride costs. An Uber ride is very similar to a taxi ride, seeing it is the ...
