Hello,
This week I worked on a project called, "Object Arranger." This project is inspired by the artist, Adam Hillman, who uses different materials and pattern to create cool and interesting designs. He used different colors of lollipops to create a circle going from lightest to darkest. I was inspired by his arts and use of pattern and shapes. The first thing that I did was draw some ideas down. I have two ideas but I created only one so far. I also loved the shape of a diamond; I don't know why but I also love it. It's probably much my favorite shape of all time. So I decided to create a design out of diamonds. I just decided to have one diamond on top of the paper before having one diamond slightly lower than the first. From then on, I created this pattern, having one diamond on top and one slightly beneath it. After creating my design, I went after my materials. My sister, Maria, has a much of beams for necklaces and bracelets and I decided to use them. I decided to use them for the fact that they had multiple colors and there were a lot of beams for me to use. Then I started to create my piece. At first, it was just a much of diamonds with some being higher than others and other lower then others. I also created another pattern inside of my diamond. The one diamond started off with red one beam, two orange beams, three old yellow, and four neon yellow beams then I repeated it until I got to the end. I also create another pattern in the diamond directly beneath that diamond. This pattern was exactly the opposite of the one on top of it so I started with a neon yellow beam and two yellow ones. The colors were important to be me and I used all the same one when creating yet another pattern. I would go from red and yellow diamond to purple and pink diamond to green and yellow diamond. Part of why I used all the same colors for my main diamonds is because I wanted the colors to be constant and with that particular type of beams, I only had a limited amount of beams. Once I was done, I took a step back and I liked what I had but I felt that I needed more. I liked that my piece was balance with having each diamond go from up or low and consisted of pattern. But I needed more in my piece. I talked to Ms. Sudkamp, she suggested that I need more like seashells. I tried to add them to my piece but my seashells were too large and made my piece look off. When that didn't work, I return to the my sister's beams but this time, I used a different type of beams than the one that I originally used in the beginning. I still wanted to keep the pattern of diamond and colors going but in different ways. I used the same color to create a diamond outline around the top and bottom diamonds that matched each other. I also created yet another pattern of having two diamonds have outlines and the next not having one but instead a small diamond coming out of the top. After that, I was finally done. I think that I was quite successful on my piece. I created a piece out of the same shape and multiple patterns that looked good and interesting to my eyes. I quite enjoyed my piece. With this piece, I learned to have patient and be careful. I had to work very slowly in order to create my piece and if I move too much, I would mess it up. I also learned about trial and error. For example, I started off with seashells but that didn't work so I returned to the beams. I tried out multiple shapes, positions, and colors before I found one that I liked. I really enjoyed this project and I can't wait to do it again.
