For my performance art piece, my group, decided to build a snowman in the middle of plant park.  Being that we are in Florida, which never gets any snow, this would draw a lot of attention to us.  We sat on the group and took white plastic cups and stapled them together to get the three snowman balls.  One of the girls I was working with has never had the opportunity to build a snowman.  However, me being from Delaware, which gets snow constituently through January and February, I've build plenty of snowmen.  We got a lot of weird looks from people as they walked by and wondered what we were doing.  One women even came up to us and asked if this was for a class.  Our three influences for this piece were : Gilbert & George - The Singing Sculpture  which is an 8 hour singing sculpture performance. I like how they took the a idea of a sculpture which is an inanimate object and made it live. Stelarc's "Ear on Arm"  sculpture and project. Ste...

The first musical movement piece I will pick is the nineties.  The band Red Hot Chili Peppers released a lot of their music during this time.  Even though the band formed in 1983, one my favorite songs, Scar Tissue, was released in 1999.  As far as technology goes, the cymbals are clearly heard during this song as a steady pace.  During the nineties the drums and cymbals were very popular.  My next musical movement is hardcore.  For this category I choose the band Kiss.  Their appearance appears very hardcore with all their notable face makeup, hairstyles, and clothes they wear.  The technology, the sharp and loud sounds their guitars make, fits them into this category.  Also, their singing with their screaming voices.  For the girl power category, I choose Beyonce.  A lot of her songs revolve around women and feminism and speaking about how women have control over their own life.  The technology she uses is all modern beca...

For this assignment I photocopied my hair.  I braided it into two parts and I made it into a heart design when I put it on the copy machine.  After that I copied it seven times and made it into a flower design.  Each heart is a pedal of the flower.  There are two shapes in this projects.  My inspiration came from many pictures on the internet of celebrities making shapes out of their hair in cool designs.  My hair was long enough to do the same so I took advantage.  The dimensions of this projects is exactly 3 feet by 3 feet.

This is a 30x30 perler bead project.  My inspiration for this project was colors.  I really like it when colors are organized and you can tell exactly what they are.  I love all the different shades of colors and wanted to find a way to display them.  The clear in between each different color is to really emphasize that each color is its own.
