Seasonal Flipbook

                                                  Song: Young Volcanoes - Fall Out Boy

I am not an artist whatsoever, so creating this was a struggle for me. Even though I came to Florida for college, I still love the idea of having four seasons so I decided to make my drawings align with that theme. I chose the book Emma simply because that is my name and many of my interests are displayed within the flipbook. I enjoy watching sunrises (when I get up that early) and especially sunsets so I began with that. The snowman and Christmas tree represented my favorite time of year even thought it has the worst weather. I decided to build the snowman up gradually in order to make him seem more animated and represent the snowman building process.

Nineties: I would add Nirvana too this list because their music produced in the 90s strongly aligns with the vibe of the time period. I'd compare them to the link from this section to Radiohead because of the similar instrument-heavy solos and abstract messages in the lyrics. Smells Like Team Spirit is a prime example of what I am describing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTWKbfoikeg Electronic: I believe that some of Avicii's songs belong in this category because of the many club mixes that he created. They have a strong DJ feel to them that makes you want to dance like David Guetta's songs mentioned in the blog. Avicii's song Levels is a good modern representation of the electronic, club vibe that I experienced while browsing through this section. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ovdm2yX4MA Punk: Blink 182 reminds me of a similar punk sound as The Ramones. They always tell stories within their songs and the tonality of their singing voices almost simulate talk...

Sticky Note Performance Piece

           Due to my unfortunately high amount of social anxiety, I utilized the anonymity aspect of the Guerrilla Girls. Although unlike them I decided to spread words of love and encouragement for finals season rather than try to be exclusively political. I went out of my way to ensure that no one knew the notes were from me by waiting until I was the only one in the restroom. There are many days that I find myself looking around for a sign that things are going to be okay, and I truly hope that this project gave someone that satisfaction. I covered the women's bathrooms in Straz, Morsani, ICB/Starbucks, Cass, and Vaughn. If I was to go back and do this again I would have tried to use my DSLR camera rather than my phone, use more direct quotes, and include off-campus restrooms as well.

Xerox Project

For the self portrait I decided to use my polaroid pictures to take close pictures of my face. At first, I wanted to take nine pictures of my face that came together to make a bigger picture, but they ended up not looking the way I intended. After realizing that I decided to make it more abstract and form pictures of my hand into a sun shape. For some reason, a majority of my art work tends to have some relation to the sun. I included the pictures of my face in the center of the sun to represent how I see myself. I have come a long way in the last few years in regards to my self esteem and happiness in general so I wanted to put myself in the center as if I'm the light of my own life. When I was in the line for                                                                               ...
