Gouache swatch creation
Portrait 1, 17.5 x 24, Gouache on watercolor paper on matte board
I used the gouache swatches to make a portrait that has movement.
I still need to work on it. I feel that the squares are still visible more in some areas than the image I want to portray itself.
Here is the original image I used as a reference:

Assignment 2- Mash up
Original
- Repeating lines and patterns- Shapes and forms construct the illusion of a person swimming
- Solid colors have a simple contrast between each other, but equal value so that no color is more vibrant or noticeable than the other.
- Repetitive patterns have been constructed to create movement within the image that allows the eyes to be drawn around the image
- Colors and lines on the image seem to connect for a moment but then are disrupted by the strong solid whites created in the modified image.
- A shape has been created in the image that almost looks like a person or a creature-- or even a bug if flipped upside down (or at least that was my intention)

Assignment 1- Mashup- Image Analysis, Deconstruction and Reconstruction
I jumped into this assignment and forgot to take an original picture of the magazine page..... :(
I hope that with some of the progress pics and the description of the original helps...
ORIGINAL:
1. For the portrait of the male model, I see that the composition is comprised of his upper body, only to see 1/3 of the image being used to sell the product while the rest 2/3 of the image shows the male only from one straightforward perspective in a grayscale//A-chromatic image.. On the side of the male are what appears to be small, cylindrical forms that repeat from the top half of the image to the middle of the image.
2, For the second image, I decided to work on this one first because it did not include humans. So i can focus my eyes better on what is placed in the image. I see that the image is comprised of 1 point perspective which stretches from the entire image that is covered by parallel lines (take the form of shelves) and point forms (take the form of books) that repeat in a fixed rhythm, leaving 1/3 as the balance spot of the image because it serves as a resting place for the eye to navigate that the image as a whole is a limited space with one white form resting in the bottom right corner space (white chair form).
**This is the first image I worked on, only to get an idea of the possibilities that can be made from this assignment.
MODIFIED IMAGES
1. I decided to pay attention to the limited variety that the picture offers, and focus on the value scheme of the image as whole. I unmasked the texture that depicted skin on the man's face and left only the signifiers of a human form (eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hair).
With the X-acto knife, I grouped similar value schemes and decided to place it back into the limited space in which it first came from. The slices of "skin" are now random forms that are now only isolated a-chromatic shapes.
I also sliced the cylindrical forms that were on the side of the image to move it to the "face" space to create a bit of depth from the light point of where the cylindrical forms on the image, which is helped in contrast to the dark to light value scheme I created.
As a more composed image as a whole, I grouped middle to light grayscale forms in a diagonal rhythm across the image to help the eye process that there are different ways that the value scheme is proceeding in this image.
2. For this image, I used some of the point forms (take the form of the books) and carved them out to leave an absence in the shelf where there once was form. I repasted the point forms in the resting area of the image to help guide the eye through the tight space instead of only focusing on the sharp parallel lines (shelves) in the image.

Topic: Zine/Narrative- In Depth Container, objects, and Zine
My piece is based on Erikson's Stages of Psychological Development from 2 stages (Ages 3-6).
At this point in time, parents and family is the only form of impact in life. Friends aren't completely influential yet. It is said whatever happens in this stage will be carried through the persons life (good, bad, amazing, or horrible..)
So I started focusing that to my project in the form of a case study, a completely subjective way to see my fragmented memories in this new perspective (art?)
It is said that as you get older, your memories start to fade or change, even if a person remembers something so vividly, the mind makes up scenarios and imagines "memories" that aren't real to suffice for the things that person can't remember. So if a person tells a memory they recall with someone who shared that same experience, they might not remember it the same way, or they will remember something more vividly than the other.
From my zine I quote, "There is your truth, my truth, and then what really happened".
In my narrative/Zine, I chose memories that I could most vividly remember, and looked around my surroundings to find objects that were readily available to help make those memories brought to documentation in this case study form. All my objects derive from my zine, either described or implied to help further my communication in concept and context.
***My zine is all handmade-- Book Envelope cover was handmade, pages were made and binded, and content was image transferred.
MY ZINE IS IN THE OTHER POST
On the left hand side of my zine is my memories, and then the write hand side is my mom's memories (because parents have the strongest influence). So details are being put into objects
1. The Celebratory Black and White Birthday cookie

1. The Celebratory Black and White Birthday cookie
2. My real baby teeth (Tooth Fairy)
3. The monthly check
4. The scarf with real hair
5. The get well soon cards
6. A photo booklet with pictures for more of me growing up.
7. A Walgreens photo packet with pictures I used to take when I was younger with my dad
(little miss photographer in her prime!!!!!)
(little miss photographer in her prime!!!!!)
^This is not mentioned in my zine but is included to add to the weekend bag idea. I think my old photos at this point in time is a really unique way to see the world through my eyes (or through the view of the viewfinder from those point and shoot cameras). Also, Through discovery in studying these memories, I realized I never took photos, or did certain things with my mom as I did with my dad. Parallel to the way I never had any birthday parties with all my friends with my dad.
8. The report card from the 2004-2005 school year (1st grade)
^This is not mentioned in my zine but I think helps tie in a more official, objective document to a case study so subjective. I had good grades apparently. I also learned that in second grade that I had C's (Not used in project... I wonder why) It shows that throughout the memories faced with parental/familial figures, sometimes may or may not transfer through the other parts of the child's life through stages of development or in any type of other social institution.
9. Before and after pictures of me
(I still look the same lol)

10. Lisa Frank/Sticker decorated folders for every Kinder/Elementary girl like myself to contain the objects!
11. Year 2000 Bookmarks!
****THIS PIECE IS NOT A SAD PIECE, OR A DRAMA PIECE, OR AN "AWWWW" PIECE.*** but totally is subjectively referring its narrative to the study of psychological development
I am really proud of this assignment. I think I've learned a lot about story telling and the way a story (no matter how personal) can be communicated to the viewer visually and tangibly through objects as well as just learning how to translate my visual language to words, text, and zines.
I think this whole lesson topic will completely follow through with influencing my future work.
