We chose to create party caps. We decided that creating “Lit Caps” would be a great idea, because it represents me and Dorien’s relationship as best friends; its lit. Dorien is also known for wearing variety of hats, therefore we thought it was a good idea to put our personal likings in our project.
I was very excited to use my Christmas snow globe on this project. I choose the snow globe because I collect them. Ever since I was little I would always ask for them every time I went somewhere that's all I wanted. I choose this one in particular because it has a Christmas tree inside and we had to use Christmas lights for this project. This snow globe means a lot to me because it is one of the first ones I got when I was 8 years old.
We chose to do a computer as a sculpture because we are very connected to it in almost every aspect of our live and are just huge fans of computers and using them. It is the best instrument of having fun, doing homework/school work, and netflix. It shows that are modern and like to adventure through the internet.
Angie´s artist statement- We decided to put lights around the hat in a loop form because we thought that it would be cool to make a hat light up using batteries and wires. We light the idea of putting the lights in the hat every since we mentioned it and we really hopes this works. We believe that this idea was really good and we think that we did the best we could with this hat. This was a very fun experiment with the hat.
Trinati´s artist statement- I chose this object because nobody else was doing a hat in my class and I wanted to be different. I created this hat so I could see in the dark at nighttime. I decided to put the lights on the cap part of the hat because I thought it would be cool and people would notice the lights more. This project was the most creative and fun project.
In this project, I decided to make my name sculpture because a name is something that represents our identity. It’s something that makes us who we are. And therefore it's really important to work hard and to succeed in life, so you can be known as a good person. My name is really important to me because it means “made of gold” and that's why I want to work really hard in my life to actually shine my life as golds.
Me and glenn are lighting up a gamecube controller with Christmas lights and an open switch. This controller represents us because we both have been playing videogames since we were kids. We made a series circuit and attached it to the gamecube controller. We play games to escape reality and have fun.
This item represents my love for sports. I chose this disc because it actually had the blood and sweat of me and my friends on it. It shows my determination and my passion for sports. This item will always be a reminder to me to always give anything I do 100% effort. That’s why I made this sculpture.
Originally we were going to do something simple but we wanted to exceed expectation and think of something nobody else in the class would do. The most common thing other people did was attach lights to something and since we didn't just want to attach lights to something and have it look like we didn't put any effort in it. I saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy1dYFGkPUE and i wanted to make something like it because it represent art and hip-hop culture a bit because of the samples they used in the music and the messages on the shirt. Although we didn't make anything explicit and kept it PG on the shirt we tried to spice it up a little bit by drawing the deuces sign on it. That dueces sign represents No worries and no problems to us, so we drew it because we thought we wouldn't have no problem doing these benchmarks and standards. In the end we made a good project and were very proud of it.
