Lauren - Her beach scene created from beer bottle caps had lots of colors and plenty of variety. The different logos on the caps added texture to the scene, taking areas such as the sand and palm fronds to another level.
Kim - Using square rhinestones, she turned a photograph into a 3D object. The piece was amazing, varying blues in the skin tone to create shadows like a normal face would have. Because the objects were small, it allowed for better shapes. Before I knew the eyelashes were painted on, I thought this was the most incredible feat, making those contours. It would have been nice to see it done with the straight edges.
Catherine - Using one of the iconic symbols we talked about in class was a great idea. The construction of the face was very accurate, and the use of cursive really did something difficult.
Sabrina - I think your choice for a background material was really interesting! Although I've seen it in construction before, I never would have thought to use a peg board as a grid. Its especially interesting because the holes aren't necessarily what forms the grid; the spaces between them makes a large grid of squares too.
Michelle - Good idea for the image; KONY is such a hot topic right now and is completely relevant.
James - Like Santiago said, the grid is a little too tight in some areas, but I really liked that you chose an image that was almost all curves. This is personally what I strove to do, since making curves from square piece is difficult.
Juan - Unfortunately, this one also had issues staying within the lines of the grid. Star Wars, however, is such an iconic image that I really think this is something cool you could hang on a wall later.
Chris - The best part of your project was that, although it was essentially two dimensional, the use of colors allowed you to capture the dimension of the buildings, and this is AMAZING.
Arielle - Using Cheerios and M&Ms was a great idea because it transforms something that people have seen throughout their entire life and puts it into a context besides 'Let me put this in my mouth.'
Cody - OMG. David Bowie. Besides choosing an awesome image, I think you nailed the areas of color in this piece like the blue makeup. It would have been nice to see more color dimension, but we all know Post-Its only come in so many colors.
Maria - Your image was really well crafted, but I don't really think that using glitter glue qualifies as using grid objects. The specs in the glitter may be able to fit into a grid, but the way they are applied does not do this.
Nakota - Using a placemat was really innovative idea! It goes along with the idea that Santiago was trying to make us think about with this project, that there are grids everywhere.
