I am a sister, electrophilic, and happy to be me.



I think the overall goal of this project was to show different faccets of our personalities. I think I did that very well in showing my soccer playing side, my totaly plugged in side, the part of me that is me because of my attention span disorder, how much I love music, my Swedish pride, my vegitarian pride, and how much I love my little sister. All of these make me who I am in a very large way. I don't think I can see my work from any other perspective but my own because the amount of time and out of class hours I've spent on making it unique. I think the biggest strength of my project is definitely it's originality because I doubt that anyone in the class also made a large colorful spiral. I think the biggest part that came through is my inability to focus on any single thing on my life. I have A.D.H.D and it makes my life slightly less, well boring is a way to put it. But basically, there are many factors in my life that make me who I am and I think that shone through well. This was shown by the swirl of the project that seemed to form together making it so the eye couldn't focus on one particular part for very long.

Alexander DeMaria



I like this piece because its movement. It flows from the center up and out and the down to right and around. It causes the eye to keep moving with the colors and the way the lines flow which make the picture fun to look at. It doesn't quite fit in with his other work because it's more colorful and less based on flowly, fantastical designs and more on reality.

Question for him: How does the artwork of "Blown Speakers" fit into the general genre of your work?

Reflecting on the Self-Portrait

With in our discussion groups we discussed my nontraditonal self portrait. It is no where close to done however so I also brought over my draft. What was done was complimented and asked about. The reaction was it was complicated but in a good way and I needed to fill in a bit more. I need at least 4 more classes after today to complete my project because of all of its different arms.
