For the somewhere project, I chose to place myself in a scene from the God Father. In my opinion its one of the coolest movies ever made. I also come from Italian roots so it means a lot to me culturally. I don't know a lot about my family history, but my mom tells me that my great grandfather had dated an Italian mafia princess. So when I watched the movie I thought that it was cool because it could've been how my life turned out if I was born at a different time. I also think the movie has amazing cinematography. Overall I think its a really good movie and I would recommend it to anyone who likes action and suspenseful movies.
For this piece we were suppose to encompass something new we had discovered about ourselves over this pandemic. While I did discover some things, I wanted to take a different approach and display the more apathetic feeling I have been feeling since the beginning. As the pandemic worsened it seemed like the days just merged into one endless cycle of doing school and sleeping. I tried to display the road into the cycle and how it seems to be never-ending. However I do believe that things will get better eventually. Which is why I decided to use such vibrant colors and hues to show that even in the darkest situation light will shine through. I placed myself on top of the moon to symbolize how I am just a bystander looking at all of this. I feel like I have no control over my own situation any more and I am just peacefully watching time pass me by.
For my Calligraphy piece I choose to depict the earth with my letter. I choose the earth because my dream is to one day travel it and see many different countries and cultures. I used different fonts and characters to depict space and the earth. Some tools I used were the type and shape tools. I tried to use the background as the default text with a very low space in-between them and a high stroke count. I used different characters like asterisk and periods to make the moon and stars.
