I really did not know what type of piece I wanted to do for this project. I probably spent what seemed like an eternity at Home Depot looking up and down the aisles for the perfect grid. I finally concluded I wanted to take a tile and make it look glamourous! I wanted to add some color so I spray painted some of the tile hot pink. I was going to glue Swavroski crystals on the tile, but it would be expensive so I just used beads I remembered I had. All the bright colors from the beads reminded me of New York so I figured it would be cool if I spelled out I <3 New York in different color beads. It did not come out as clean or as lined as wanted to. There were a lot of beads and I wanted to add another layer or addition to it, so I thought it would be cool to spell out "The City That Never Sleeps," in magazine letters. I hope you all liked it!
I really liked your idea, a lot of interesting components with the spray painted tiles and the different colored beads. I like how you added words with magazine letters! Good job Alex
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you used! You have a really interesting concept happening here. I especially liked the way the heart wasn't filled in with beads; it was an effective way to break up the grid.
ReplyDeleteYour use of colors were great! I don't think you'd get the same message if it was done in other colors or just one color. Using the tile was very interesting and heavy!
ReplyDeleteI loved the imagery of the beads. It created a lot of color variation to the piece. Good idea of the creating a heart outline, and adding magazine letter to add emotional meanings.
ReplyDeleteTo me your grid art represented a love piece, the heart and magazine letters really broaden that spectrum. The weight of the tile also could be a meaning to the grid as well.
I think the title of your piece could be, "Love is worth a heavy heart". Just a nice thought I came up with.
Anyway I really liked your grid.
Good job :)
I really liked the beads you used and the bright colors. At first i thought they were bells which made me excited because i thought your grid would make noise. I also enjoyed that you added the magazine letters to break up the use of beads.
ReplyDeletethis was a good idea, Santiago wasn't too crazy about the grid aspect but I thought it worked for was it was. Also liked that you used varying forms the create your shapes.
