Artist Statement:
What went well with our project was the creation of our stop motion. The sole creation of the stop motion was fairly easy and cohesive. However, the difficult part of the project was having to make revisions. The communication and work effort between my partner and I was also pretty difficult due to the plain reason of procrastination. What we could have done to improve our project experience was to not procrastinate and complete our work on time. During the project, I learned not only how to create stop motions but how to distribute and prioritize my time. On a scale from 1-10 of how successful this project was, I would rate the project a seven. If I were the teacher, I would’ve done nothing different.
The idea I had for my artwork was a classroom setting. I thought it would be fairly ironic and cool to do an artwork that shows the introduction of molecules to younger kids. We learn about molecules from a very young age and we learn about one of the most common ones, which is carbon dioxide. I used the principles of design by using shape, lines, and colors. I made sure my shapes and lines were pretty defined. I also made the colors pop and contrast each other. I incorporated my Tinkercad model by using the singular oxygen atoms to be seats for the children. Also, the oclor of the seats are the same color as they were in the TinkerCad Model. I think some careers that use the digital tools we used would be a digital art makers for games and digital editors.
For our end of year PBL, we did Guernica-inspired paintings. In this picture, we rearranged the pieces to fit each other and made our unique combined Guernica painting.
