Moodboard Project Critiques

 

Sofia-

I think the color scheme is really good and ties her moldboard to the hat. I feel like the lace color takes away from the cowboy hat idea. Still, I love the hats look. Next time maybe she could find a more leathery base. The orange glow of the light ties exactly to our nature walk. I noticed the color orange a lot as well. I think it is important to recognize the work put into this piece. Seeing it transition from a cardboard layout to this was insane.


Flora-

The roses and vine thing on the top work very well in capturing a nature look. I can connect to the soul of nature part that was talked about in class. I think the same way sometimes. The idea of plants having their own soul is shown in this piece as the candle represents this. The vine rope makes it functional. I think the flower material could be adjusted so that is a candle drips on them they won't catch on fire. I think it is important to notice the rope design on the cup. It could be overlooked but I think it ties into her moldboard very well.


Niamh-

This doll inspired by the cross between life and death connects to Niamh's theme of climate and world issues. I can see how the line between healthy nature and death is thin (If that makes sense). I think the doll works very well with drawing your eye to the flowers. My eye is also drawn to the bones. I think next time the seam between the top and bottom could be adjusted to create a more seamless look. I also think it's important to recognize how most of the doll is make from scratch!


Jack-

I think Jack's trashcan is a good representation of things we saw on our nature walk. Although it's not sketched in high detail I can see where this idea came from. I can connect to his view on seeing trash on our walk as I did too and even had to move some to get a shot of a plant/flower. I think if this where to be revamped it could use more of a background and could be painted in greater detail with a design that fits more. It is definitely important to notice how Jack made the top of the can to make it an actually functioning trash can.  It could use a bottom though.

"Silent Walk" Reflection

Image
From Part A I chose two photos that represent the song "Vianne Sets Up Shop" from the film "Chocolat". It is by Rachel Portman. The song is bouncy and happy. I used it to represent yellow. https://open.spotify.com/track/2vPalVURlUvEwv4xsLGbEM?si=e7dc7f294cac4af5 I choose this image because the bottom cloud in the middle looks like a person dancing sort of like a freestyle flow dance. I decided to name this one The Dancer. I choose this image because the sun makes it look like a person with their hands extended. This gives me a happy welcoming vibe. I named this one The Hugger. The next song I choose was "Where is my Mind" by Javi Lobe. I used it to represent a calm feeling. When walking to this song I found more down to earth in a sense shapes. They were more mellow. In this image I see a heart. It could also look like a person making that sort of heart shape. I named it Heart Blob. In this image I saw a person laying down with their legs and arms out inf...

Inspirational Picture/Quote

Image
               I chose this image and quote because it represents something I love. The picture is of my favorite NHL (National Hockey League) player, Sidney Crosby. He plays for the Penguins a team that plays out of Pittsburgh. Ever since I started watching hockey Sidney Crosby was my inspiration. I find this quote relatable because I am very much of a perfectionist it makes it hard for me to just relax and enjoy experiences. This quote talks about letting yourself appreciate things instead of always being uptight. I think this is definitely something I can learn from. Overall, I choose this quote because of my ability to relate to it and my liking for Sidney Crosby.
