Art of STEM 2015
Show more"My Contour Nouveau piece is an overall drawing about what we've been doing in class. In my piece you can see a kid sitting at a table working on his own artwork and another kid's hand holding up things so she can draw her own hand. I selected five different cellular designs to incorporate into my piece. They include red blood cells, stem cells, pansy petal cells, wood cells and streptococcus cells. I chose the red blood cells to pattern the flower pot because the flower pot was green. Green and red are complimentary colors and look good together. I chose the stem cells because they looked different and made the walls stand out. I chose the pansy petal cells because I wanted the flower petal to be made of flower cells. I chose the wood cells for the floor, as it made sense. Finally, I chose the streptococcus cells to design the boy's pants because I had gotten strep the week before we started our Art Nouveau project and I wanted to know what the virus looked like."

Show moreThis image was created as we studied how to capture action in our photography. We experimented with a variety of activities and actions, and captured a lot of energy in motion. We had to break down that motion and capture it on film. The final image had to show the energy in one photograph and, with the help of Photoshop, this image presented itself. Print size: 8x10

Show moreAs I looked closer at taking images of plants and flowers, I had to make sure I was choosing the right angle for taking photos of flowers, which is the biggest issue because there are so many. To be honest, I took the photo of whatever caught my eye. I wanted the picture to grasp emotion as much as possible. As I worked with other students, I found my ideas were different from others' ideas and they wanted to replicate an image they saw while I just made my own ideas. My epiphany was, if you get the right angle with the sun and with the water droplets you could get a sparkle on the flower petals. I learned when taking plant and flower photos, choosing the right angle is very difficult.

Show moreI was walking along the path around the duck pond in front of the Cleveland Museum of Art, looking to capture life along with other plants and flowers. I came upon this interesting object hanging from the tree. The flash really helped to lighten up the entire composition.
