Final Group Project
Process:
We met as a group
and did some brainstorming on what we all seem to have in common. The result of
our devising was the Italian delicacy, pizza.
This became our theme and this is because not only do we all like the dish
but also a pizza is usually made with eight slices, this was pivotal to our
project especially since we had to address eight different aspects and
categories to the final project.
Synopsis:
For
the final project we chose point of view aspect, in this category we made use
of the fisheye lens to give the perspective of somebody being delivered a
pizza. Next was the double entendre section, where we exploited pictures of
pizza made in the shape of the mathematical symbol, pie. With the multi frame
department, the act of making a pizza was caught in three frames. The framing
of the image category happened to be overlapping in our other sections due to
the fact that each picture used was edited and cropped to display what we
wanted. Next was the symbol aspect of the project, in this dimension we created
a picture of a pizza decorated with pepperonis in the shape of a marijuana
leaf. We used this iconic leaf because
it is much more than a representation for drugs but rather a modern day symbol
for youth and recreation. In the life and death segment, we decided to stick
with our theme therefore we illustrated a prepared pizza ready for consumption
and on the other hand a devoured pizza signified by the crust left in the box.
Lastly, in the sound portion, we made use of a vintage traditional Italian song
to strengthen our piece as well as give it a sense familiarity and harmony.

Rankings
1. Berkley and Jess - Strong photo and interesting perspective.
2. Elizabeth and Wendy - Very creative and awesome point of view.
3. Connor, Blake, and Dominic - Straight forward but good perspective and good background display. Simple but good details.
4. Kofi and Liz - Confusing at first and hard to guess the perspective but good fisheye lens and use of background.
5. Micaela and Jennifer - Works better as one frame rather than multiply but interesting how you guys used multiple perspectives.
6. Peter and Andrea - Very interesting point of view but could have gotten a better picture.
7. Stevie and Megan - Good fisheye lens, confusing at first but good use of crop.
8. Ben and Spencer - Good commitment to the picture with the outfit but could be more complex.
9. Erin and Alex - Very simple could have been more complex but good angles.

Elements of Art Project
Line: Here is the gate to the parking lot in front of North Walker. It is an uninterrupted (continuous) line with width and height.
Shape: This is a portion of a piece of art in the Sykes building. It features several ovals and cylinders defined by line and color.
Color: These flags in the Sykes building contain the entire visible light spectrum and all combinations. (red, yellow, blue, green, purple, orange, black, and white)
Space: Space is present both in the area around these framed pictures and in the colorful matted portions of the frames. These areas are defined by the thick black frames and the pictures themselves.
Texture: This ornate frame in the lobby of the Sykes building shows an obvious tactile quality in it's gilded edges.
Emphasis: This Spartan statue, supported by it's own pedestal, in the athletic center is surrounded by red trophy cases, making it the focal point of this area.
Balance: This photo shows plants and light arranged around a focal point (fountain) displaying a "sense of visual equilibrium."
Harmony: Harmony is present in this photo both in the texture of the bricks and wood that cover the walls and in the balanced architecture itself.
Variety: This photo in the athletic center shows variety in the different sports present, the alternating uniforms of the players, and in the heights of the players themselves. The players, gear, and uniforms contrast each other.
Movement: This soccer player's photo is taken mid kick, preserving the motion he makes when his foot comes in contact with the ball.
Proportion: These soccer players stand at a distance from each other, suggesting depth. We realize that the player in white is in the foreground and the player in yellow is behind him.
Rhythm: By looking at this soccer goal, we realize it is made up of individually threaded white squares. The white squares are repeated throughout the goal to form the net.
Unity: The perspective of these two buildings suggest that they are united. Further inspection shows this to be false but their proximity to each other and the fact that they stand on the same campus shows wholeness.
