Camera Obscura



The camera obscura was a much harder project than I had thought. Due to the lack bare walls and the odd design of the room, I was forced to manipulate a bed sheet to hang from the ceiling with duck tape. This was easily the hardest part of the project. Once I had the sheet hanging, I used black cardboard to black out the window. I then proceeded to cut a hole and then the magic happened. This is a shot from Straz hall of the baseball outfield with Morsani hall and the skyline in the background.

Performance Art Project

Performance Art Project This performance art project was actually fun to do. The motive behind the project was the environment. I thought, "What is something that really pisses people off?" Answer: Plastic straws.  The outline of my body in the straws is representative of how if there is no action taken to stop pollution, then humans will eventually die and be left with trash in our place.  The only problem that occurred was exactly what I wanted to occur. People kept trying to get me to stop and one person even took the straws and kicked them all over the place. Unfortunately, the camera man wasn't filming and the man didn't want to be filmed anyway. Aside from that, people were curious and once they found out, they were interested in the cause.

Grid Art Project - The Cashew

This was by far one of the more challenging projects regarding artistic ability. I sadly do not have $50 to spend for one assignment of a class, so instead, I took advantage of what I had around my room. This was the origin of the cashew created here in the midst of other nuts. I realized after I had bought this bag of mixed nut trail mix, that there were no cashews in it. Cashews are my favorite type of nut, so I decided to create one using various other nuts. The almonds are used for shade, and the cranberries are to accent darker shadows. I present...The Cashew. This nut was the basis and inspiration for my project.

Final Art Project

Art Video Click on the link above to access the final art video project.  This video was inspired by the environment. The world we live in is being filled with trash at a rate never seen before, and, if it keeps this way, we will lose the Earth we call home. Most of the footage was filmed by me on a T3-i during the afternoon. The trash was found around Tampa except for the chessboard. I chose to use a chessboard and replace pieces with trash to show how humans and trash coincide. We are the reason there is so much trash and it's purposeful that we interact with it. The music is supposed to create tension and make an awkward feel, because when environmental issues are brought up most people feel conflicted. The music is supposed to create that feel.
