This work I am not proud of. I let time creep up to me and could not create a work of high level, which is why I have the glasses on, because I want to hide from showing this. Nonetheless, there is a concept behind this.
This is me with everything that identifies myself, from the top of my head to the extremities of my body, hands and feet. Anyone who knows me can see these objects and know its me without seeing me. On the top left hand I have my wallet which is distinctive, on the right hand I have my blackberry which anyone who has seen me walking around can instantaneously remember of seeing me with it in my hand. The camera represents my passion for art and I wear it any new place I go. The pencil is my tool to transfer my knowledge onto paper so I can communicate with people, the pencil is the same one I have used since high school.
On top of my head are chemistry words which represent my way of thinking which is very confusing, sometimes even to me. Under that are the words “the real love is the killer app” which is an idea I take very intimate, in which love is what separates us from other people. The calculator is my business orientation, which combines with the wallet and blackberry to enforce it. The formula across my mouth are words of how I speak, which can seem complicated at first, or just not understandable, but in reality is very simple and very understandable if you know how to read the words. The Adidas stripes are from my backpack in which I carry my computer, which is extremely important to my life and how I interact with the world. The small shirt at the bottom is my country of origin, Venezuela, which is becoming smaller and I am distancing myself from because it is being robbed from me by the current government. Finally, the women’s chronology represents women that have influenced me over time; for example my mother.
Yes…
I’m a mama’s boy haha

I think you have a good start to your project. I like how you put your phone and other things about yourself. Its a good start and I think you would have a really good finished project.

I really like how you have so much concept going on beneath the actual design with the meanings behind everything that appears in your work. I would have loved to see this in class since it is usually easier to get a feel for a work in person. Also, great attention to detail in cutting everything out so neatly!

I think that some elements of your project are really good, I like how you used the xerox of your sunglasses over your face to make one image as well as using the xeroxes of your hands to hold objects, it is a creative idea that you could definitely develop

Definitely a good start and visually interesting, but I would like to see more body parts.
