Thumbnails Carrots
For this assignment, I had to really think about what a carrot is and how it is functional. I have to admit that I didn’t really think of a carrot as more than just a vegetable before now. Creating an attribute list forced me to think about this food item in a new light. I will never even look at food quite the same same way again!

Thumbnails Heart
For this assignment, I had to view a heart as an object as well as a part of my body. I have always looked at a heart as teh giver of life. In this class, I had to think of a heart as art not just as an organ. I enjoyed thinking of new uses for a heart such as a table and set of chairs.

Calm/Tense
Calm
For this assignment, I felt extremely challenged because I was clearly out of my element. I had no idea how to use limited shapes and create something calm or tense. I searched the Internet endlessly to get examples or images in my mind that seemed calm and tense. Then I looked at their structure and sought out the geometric shapes that created them. Once I did that I began on my own path of clam and tense shapes which I then posted for grading.
Calm/Tense
TENSE
To me, tense meant anger and frustration. I did not know how to represent it using shapes and with the limitation of color. First, I drew simple lines and tried not to re-use what I had in the other parts of the assignment. Next, I thickened lines to create a tense feeling and then I moved lines around until I got teh shapes you see above.
Calm/Tense
HEAVY
Heavy seemd to me to be something that was a blog of color mixed among thin lines. After a while I thought about how nails can be heavy, thick and strong. That was the motivation behind these two images.
Calm/Tense
Light
Light seemed to me to represent something thin, flowing and uncomplicated. I started with circles and placed them in different positions. After a while I saw a cup or a “C� shape take shape and I was hooked.
Positive and Negative For this assignment, I immedietly thought of teh Marines! I want to join someday and I see this unit made of people who go by a strick code of conduct or “black and whie� about rules and regulations. I placed a helmet on my head and took a photo. Using Photoshop, I created a black and white image of myself as a Marine following strick rules of conduct.
The Few. The Proud. The ones who know how to kick ass.
The Marines
We For this assignment, I thought about the use of black and white space as well as geometric shapes. Hereos are always needed in teh real world. I wanted to represent people to be admires in a clean and unobtrusive way. That is why I used simple shapes and alternating colors of black and white.

Clock Design
For this assignment, I saw the Marines as an image in the stock pile and new I had to use it. I wanted my clock to be simple and eye catching. I like the constrats between the golden green and black. I can see myself marching to the Marine Corp hymn and and keeping time with my steps.

For this assignment, I thought ofthe tragedy on 9/11. I saw how the military came to the resuce of thousands of people. I wanted to represent their efforts and that is why I created these images. The red is for teh blodd that was shed on that day. The flag is for America will rise again.
