Geoff Mino-- Color and Light Painting

Madeleine Filloux: Color & Light project

My lamp was really hard to take pictures of, but here are the best ones:

Ethan Cecchetti: Monet's Haystacks

The following is my Light and Color project. The idea here was to take a painting that was heavily reliant on color (hence the choice of a Monet) and play with the color and lighting to try to create different feels and different effects. Then I decided to put them together into an Andy Warhol-like image with the different version lined up next to each other.

The middle image is an unmodified slide of the original painting, while the ones surrounding it are all modifications I made in photoshop. I tried to put them together in a way that created one completed image that was interesting to look at as a whole. So, I decided to make somewhat of a progression of colors going around the original. Then, to block out any potential background noise I placed a white border around it with some very simple text.

Note: Please click on the image to see the full size. Also, I added a black border so you can tell where the image stops.



Comments are more than welcome. Thanks. :)

Impossible project

When I read the headlines for an "Impossible" project, I thought of illusions, and I wanted to do something that experimented with perspectives, lights, and colors. Inspired by Patrick Hughes (see last vide) I decided to attempt some reverse perspective paintings. The process required quite some calculations and thoughts. So here is just a very very simple, basic version of a room:






So the painting is on a 3D surface and the end of the room is actually the part coming out of the frame in reality.

Material Alchemy - Ethan Cecchetti, Ashtin Charles

We made this out of nothing but construction paper, staples, crazy glue, and a little wire (around the center). We folded the construction paper into ninja stars of varying sizes. Then we rolled up a piece of paper to use for the trunk, and then we connected the stars to each other using staples and crazy glue and put them around the trunk.

Hopefully it looks like a Christmas tree.

Madeleine Filloux: Sculptures by Annette Messager

These are some really intense works by a French artist named Annette Messager. I saw an exhibit of hers at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Unfortunately, these images don't quite do her work justice. She makes a lot of puppet-esque sculptures and multimedia works many of which have moving parts.

This is a sculpture that uses pencils, gloves, and parts of stuffed animals:

This is an incredible installation I saw where a huge red cloth spills from the doorway and billows up to reveal grotesque, light-up stuffed animal-type objects underneath:

Here is a link to an image of a sculpture that you can zoom in on:

My Vows, Annette Messager

Here's another image of one of her moving structures:

I think her work is very powerful and haunting. It also provides a good example of the creative use of everyday materials.

This is in Seattle (woop woop!) in The Olympic Sculpture Park which is a new park dedicated to sculpture, yay! I just really like how this is a huge version of something small and trivial.
