The sculpture I chose to use for my Electric Art Project was my tripod. I chose my tripod because I like taking pictures and I wanted to make something light up other than using my camera. I only do two things, and that is running and taking photos. I thought that my tripod would be perfect because I use it to take my pictures and I wanted to do something other than talking about running.
For our final physics project of the year, we had to create an art piece that represents something about us that used an electric circuit. I decided to make my electric art piece a light up skateboard because it’s one of my favorite things to do. While I’m just getting into it myself, my brother has owned a skateboard ever since I can remember, and I always thought he was really cool for it, so I picked it up recently and I love it a lot. It's also a great way to exercise since I don't work out.
Why I chose to make this sculpture is because my phone means oh so very much to me as others may know. The sculpture I have decided to make is on my phone case. What this piece of art says about me is that I am obsessed with my phone it takes my mind off things and to also ignore people which I love to do without my phone I don't think I would be able to survive. Without this I would be in a lot of problems this keeps me sane and keeps me from overthinking many things.
For the Electric Art Project I chose a spoon. A spoon is used for cooking and eating. Those are two of my favorite things. Cooking and eating are things I spend most of my time doing. This circuit is going to make my spoon lit!
Mekhya and I chose to make our handbag light up. We’re making our handbag light up because it symbolize our passion for fashion. Adding the lights to the handbag would be something helpful because when women usually dig in their handbag they can’t see. The lights would be perfect for women because then they could see what they're looking for. Us using a piece of clothing and remodeling, helps us start in the fashion world.
I chose to do a pocketbook. This is important to me because without it, I wouldn't have anything to hold my things in and I would probably lose most of my personal items. I wanted to have a light in the bag because I go out a lot, and when I am out and it is dark and I need something from out of my bag I really can’t see. So I wanted to include so light so that I can save some time and find what I need.
I chose a heart piece because i think everyone's heart has a light. Since I was little I knew that the heart may be weak but deep down there's a light that never goes out. I think that because even the darkest person has a bright side. When I was in kindergarden i met a girl that was very shy and mean. I had to help her open up to me. Once i made her feel comfortable around me she was a really nice girl. She just had trust issues. So my sculpture gives me a good memory of how i made a good friend.
My bulbs are in series so they are dim.
I decided that my sculpture that represents me personally is a stage because I love performing. My artist statement for this would be “ Life is your stage so perform to the best you are able to.” I am trying to say that in life you should try to act as if you are performing at your best and try your best. I strongly believe this because ever since I was little I have always wanted to my best. I like to do well all the time because I really want to succeed whether it is on the stage or if it is off the stage.
Artist Statement
I chose to use this because this might bring a good challenge to both me and my partner .I also choose this sign because I like the colors black and yellow . The sign already light up but with the extra colored lights it brings an extra pop into the lights that come with it. Then the lights are just there and we have our sign.
The goal of this project is to incorporate an item of personal significance as well as an electric circuit run off a battery. I have chosen to light up my track spikes since I have a strong passion for Track & Field and since I can’t light up a whole track I chose an old pair I used to run in. The sculpture I made shows that I have a love for what I do and I am really into it. I’ve been running track for three years now and I intend on getting scholarships from my efforts/achievements. I also hope to run in the Olympics and break the world records for the 100m and 200m dash one day.
