Catching up on documenting a semester of work....

Media I Stop Motion from Alexandra Fritz on Vimeo.

The title says it all. Here's a claymation I did for my Media I class last semester.

BABIES

Created at the Walker's misfit toy making workshop.
Images one and two display David's terrifying toy, consisting of a baby head, monkey flesh over the baby's head, and a gross mystery body that we can't identify for the life of us.
In the second image, you can see that David can remove the head of his toy. It's a pullstring that then makes the baby head vibrate. Cuz that's totally not creepy.

Mine's not very creepy. It's just cute, with a bunny body and a cute baby head and cutesy cartoony arms from an octopus and dragon.

END.

Motor Neuron

It's science.
Made of pantyhose.

Biology

This sculpture is composed of scrap pieces of flesh-toned nylons from sculptures past. They're pretty much just noosed up by some scrap rope. The piece hangs from the ceiling, to get a feel for how it is displayed.

Yep. Two posts within a very short period of time. Why not?

Fleshy Furniture Set

So... it's a miniature dining set. Made of clay. And it looks really fleshy. Which was the goal.
No, it's not supposed to look beautiful or accurate.
It's not very exciting. xP

I have a couple of other new things coming up for posting in the next couple days, so be on the lookout for those!

High School Painting Class. Woowoo!

• Image 1: Still life of pliers. Acrylic on paper.
• Image 2: Self-portrait. Acrylic on paper. I was making a silly face; I'm not just terrible bad at making my eyes even xD
• Image 3: Acrylic and copper wire on paper and vellum. Two layers of paintings.
• Image 4: Final. Inspired by Chris Natrop. Acrylic, paper, wax paper, bamboo skewers, clay, fishing line. It got bent up and broken because a certain someone (whose name I shall keep confidential, haha) leaned his car seat back on top of it and squished it and broke it. And I was sad. And now I hate this piece ]=

Also, I won three awards from the high school in this past week:

First, the "Super Senior" award for "Most Artistic".

Also, an honor for being one-act director with Ms. Jenna Geris. (We have our own plaque at the high school now!! Go see!!! Hahaha)

Finally, the Outstanding Contribution to Theatre award for the past four years.

Yay!

My last day of high school ever was today! =D

Yeah, yeah.

I'm not even gonna write anything about this one. It gave me a lot of pain and stress, and it still didn't turn out.

Oh well.

Expect some new photos and paintings soon!

Foundation 3D Exhibit up at MCAD

Five images!

Images 1 and 2 are two angles of the same sculpture, and three is a detail of the seat. Materials: Found object pantyhose, safety pins, batting, rocks (used as weights inside chair), found object rug. And to hang it: fishing line, rope, wood cross.
The last two images are of my Bauhaus-inspired sculpture, which I've posted before, but now have better images of.

I promise I'll take photos of these in a photo studio, as well, to get much much much better images of them.

Both of these sculptures plus the rest of my class's sculptures from the same assignments will be up until Wednesday or Thursday in the main gallery space outside of the wood shop/auditorium.

That's about it. Any questions/comments/critiques? I must admit; I'm fairly proud of both of these sculptures--- they were a lot of hard work, and I've gotten great reactions for both of them!

Next week...

I'll be posting two sculptures on here next week. One is the Bauhaus-inspired sculpture that I posted a "sneak peek" of a few weeks ago; the second is a soft sculpture I just completed. I was thinking about posting a sneak peek of that one, as well, but I forgot my camera when I brought it to class for critique. Anyway, be expecting those!

If you read this blog, I hope you disappointed and bored!

Web.

Here's a canvas piece that it's taken me FOREVER to put up.

Ingredients: Acrylic paint, found objects (paint sample cards, illustration, random electronic device), hemp, and ink drawings (on paint cards), all on canvas.

I choose to tag this under "sculpture" because working on it was a 3D job.

That's all.

Feel free to comment and say whatever you want!

Thanks!

Sneak Peek

It's amazing how many new friends you make when you build a large sculpture.

The first image is, of course, me sitting on the sculpture, so you get a feel for the size. It's a 3x3' cube--- not including the black indent, of course. It's not "done" yet--- I'm going to put another layer or two of paint. Plus, it's in a HORRIBLE place to take pictures cuz we couldn't get a gallery space at MCAD, but I thought I'd let you see what I'm cooking up in the wood shop!

Questions?

Oh; and I got the Trustee scholarship to CVA, which is the most prestigious scholarship from CVA--- but it's only 6 grand, plus my academic scholarship makes 8 grand. I'm planning to go to MCAD, though... But I kinda feel bad about not taking the CVA scholarship D=

I'll have some info about stuff I didn't make coming out soon!

Thanks for reading!

I'm only half paying attention while I'm writing this, so forgive my poor writing!

I must admit; a lot of effort was put into this.

And despite all my effort, I'm still not really happy with it =P

This sculpture is the product of three weeks of hard work and a lot of frustrating trial and error. I wanna give a shout out to my boy David for being my saviour with this project. Thanks, David!

Made for my Foundation 3D class at MCAD.

Medium: Pink styrofoam and vinyl spackle. And a LOT of different types of glue.
