Bottle Caps!

For our first project after spring break we were to take bottle caps and find a new use for them using only recycled or biodegradible items. For the project we were to work as partners and my partner was Christyn Dunning. We decided to make salt and pepper shakers out of the bottle caps and using parts of plastic bottles. We also wanted to try to make a couple of salt and pepper shakers that would be 'collectibles' with the soda labels on them. One of the problems we came across was finding a way to hold parts of the shakers together; like with glue. If these were really to be made we would find a biodegradable glue for the salt and pepper shakers with the soda labels. However, for the small shakers no glue or adhesives would have to be used at all. You would only need two bottle caps and the top part of the plastic bottles. Here are some pictures of the salt and pepper shakers and the various ones that we made:

25 scale figures

Here are my 25 scale figure drawings that I did for Suzanne's class. I'm not really sure whether I like them or not. This wasn't really the style I wanted to do them in, but when I tried a different style I couldn't get it to come out right...so, I guess for the style that they are in, I like them.


Moore Explored

In drawing class we were put into groups to look at and draw different buildings on campus. My group had the Moore Humanities building (MHRA). During the course of this project we had to draw different perspectives of the building using inspirational drawings and also to include scale figures. We also did several function diagrams of the building along with a few small detail drawings. As a group, we then had to put together a presentation board of our perspective drawings, a few diagrams, and a few details. Here are some pictures of our board along with my 3 perspectives.
