A4

     

            Initially I had no idea what I would do for the 30x30 grid assignment. I had a couple different ideas, but didn’t think I could find enough material to actually make it work. However, once we looked at other students’ assignments from the past, I had an epiphany. I knew that I had a good amount of professional pictures of myself, for promoting my music, so I wanted to recreate a picture of me performing using some sort of colored material.

            This idea of using a performance picture actually goes way back. I used to be in a rock n roll band in middle school, and my parents have a great picture of me playing guitar at a concert hung in their living room. I decided that an updated performance picture, of me rapping, would look good next to it to see the comparison of the two, and it would also double as a perfect gift.

            Once I found the picture I wanted to recreate, I decided to use colored push pins as the material. Simply gridding out the picture and the poster board felt like it took forever! I had to keep redrawing the grid so that was very frustrating. The next annoying thing was the fact that I kept running out of push pins. I ended up going back to Staples to get more push pins. Between the cost of Uber back and forth, and all the materials I spent $96 on this assignment, but I am very happy with how it came out!
