Papercraft Research The artist I chose to research was Yulia Brodskaya, as her paper quilling work immediately struck my eye as the flow of the paper is incredibly mesmerizing. Since this research is about finding an artist who inspires you or you want to write about, she is the perfect choice as her work makes me want to create.      Yulia's work started as she decided to move away from digital means as well as traditional drawing and found her groove within her own way of paper quilling. Yulia also has always had a fondness for paper and has always enjoyed working with in in some form so being able to create with it is a great passion for her. She was originally a graphic designer, however she found more joy within creating 3D paper illustrations that passed time by easily. Starting out, she would just take large strips of heavy duty paper and glue them down, as if she was drawing. However, her process is quite time consuming as she has to measure the strip she wants to...

  Digital Samples I had a lot of fun experimenting using both abstract shapes as well as creating objects in my every day life or objects that popped into my head. Some I experimented more with than others, but overall was a successful project and I learned a lot on how to move in a productive workflow.  Abstract form This was my first attempt at this project and I just wanted to experiment using simple forms. Cement block I made a cement block-ish shape because on my drive home from school I saw another car run into one and thought I should commemorate that moment. Vase I was sitting in my living room and decided to see if I could make a vase, attempting to emulate a more circular form using flat planes. Abstract form Another experiment trying different techniques with shape. Headphones I received my new headphones and wanted to try making them using planar forms, tricky but learned a whole lot through my methods.  Chest Thought it would be fun to create a treasure chest...

  Pocket Rocket: Glorified     This project was a grind to complete and my computer crashed at least 7 times, which made me lose my project multiple times without any way to retrieve it. It was a failure and a huge learning curve for me. I also tried doing this on a Mac and was very lost as to where the commands were, and the ground plane wouldn't render every time I retried. Overall, I had fun playing with the effects and found this to be a very interesting program to learn more about. I would like to look more into fixing the problem of my computer crashing and losing my work, as I think I could create a much better piece than what I made. Working on a Mac doesn't have the same features I found, and was unable to do some of the effects I originally wanted to as they wouldn't render properly. I took screenshots along the way to try and save the look I was going for. I present you my outtakes. Here are the failed renderings: Thank you and I apolog...
