On this project I worked with Christian and another girl in the class. I made the PowerPoint presentation and my art piece. Christian and the other girl made their art pieces. The movement I was inspired by was Constructivism. Constructivism was typically art made of assorted mechanical objects in an abstract way, but styles could vary. The movement began in Russia and spread all over the world. I think my piece relates to the Constructivism period because it is a mechanical abstract piece.
This is the art piece that inspired me. It is a Mona lisa made from rolls of thread put together. It inspired me to pixelate my Dwight Schrute. It is on display at the NC art Musuem.
i picked this piece because i like creative and material art, versus paint and drawing. I Was also drawn to it because it looks really cool and i knew i could make something like that. I also knew i could a person if i picked this and that would be exciting. So first i picked a person i wanted to do make. I love the office and dwight is my favorite character so i chose him. next i had to decide what i would make it out of. I went to AC moore until i found jibbletz and they were perfect. It relates to the original piece because it is in a pixelated style. I think with this piece i created was very original. I had never seen artwork like this done. Especially of dwight schrute. My source of inspiration was the work in the NC art museum, but i gave it my own twist. I solved a big problem in this project with finding the right things to use. I thought about beads, and all sorts of stuff. I also needed something that hade many shades. That was a big problem to overcome.
