Project idea 1: Budding of a tree

Take a picture of a branch every other day for the semester and watch it start to bud and grow leaves. 

Process: 

Use tape to mark where my tripod needs to go. Collect pictures and build into a stop motion.  

Content: 

It will symbolize the passage of time of the seasons and growth. 

Project idea 2: “Retail has aged you.”

Form:

Using photography, take a picture of my eyes everyday at 5-8 pm until the end of the semester.

Watch the emotion in the eyes as they move through the life of a retail worker and student. 

Process: 

Combine each photograph into a stop motion video.

Content: 

This project represents the struggle of a busy schedule and how it may affect one’s beauty. The impermanence of beauty. The sacrifices that life requires.

Project idea 3: Sculpture in the elements

Form:

The material will be sculpting clay, paint, the elements, a camera, seeds, water and fertilizer. A sculpture of a woman’s head with a hole in the top full of seeds. 

Process: 

Start my making the face of a woman. Leave a hole on top of her head and fill with seeds. Put it outside in a fixed place. Take pictures everyday. Combine pictures. Watch as the elements affect the sculpture and the seeds grow. 

Content: 

The concept I want to convey is the impermanence of beauty.
