Here is my Grid Art project. The hardest part of this project for me was coming up with an idea. I really wanted to stay with the technique of finding a natural grid then transforming it rather than making a grid. In the end, I made an American flag out of a grid used to ship water bottles. It was supposed to wave, but the filler paper and a glue stopped all of the motion. So here it is, "Made in America".
Your idea was very simple, but really good. It's such a simple pattern that's not associated with any grid work, but you made something that was more horizontally shaped and made it into physical grid. It reminds me a lot of Jasper John's work who did the american flag for political statement's but still what you did has a lot of power on it's own, great work.
ReplyDeleteI liked the fact that you manipulated a grid to make it into something you wanted it to be... kinda like the urinal we saw in class. Good job!
ReplyDeleteGraet idea to incorporate materials that everyone of us sometimes take for granted. You used what you had and made it very good statment. Nice job
ReplyDeleteI really wish you got it to wave around! LOL. I liked yours a lot. I like the size of it, it extends the image of the grid and I also like that you took a common object and made it into a important symbol that we all appreciate.
ReplyDeletegreat idea matt... good thing you bounced your ideas off of me.. it obviously would have been awesome if the flag waved but it turned out pretty good anyway. good job
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea to use the water holder as your grid. I would have never looked at something like that and seen what you saw. I also like the filler paper a lot. It's huge! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI really liked your idea and the material that you used. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI really liked your flag idea. I also liked that it was big and easy to see.
ReplyDeletei liked how you did the american flag, and how your project is larger than smaller. and i liked the idea about it swaying, too bad it didn't work out. i know its hard to find a natural grid to work with on this proj.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed how you found this natural grid at school and it was used to ship water bottles. It is very American spirited and was an overall great idea! very very nice project :)
ReplyDeleteit's funny i was thinking about doing something very similar with italy's flag... great job
