Project 2: Vinyl Intervention Project 2: Vinyl Intervention Things to consider: ●  IMAGE : The image you use will need to be turned into outlines, much like a stencil. Keep that in mind as you simplify your image down to a graphic. What information do you need to keep? What information is unimportant? Consider positive and negative space. Keep in mind that you will have to weed your vinyl (remove all negative space by hand). Very small pieces, under an ⅛ inch, may be very difficult to remove or may not cut clearly. ●  TEXT : Text is vector-based and can be used in this project, but before you add text, consider whether or not your message can be clear with just an image. ●  COLOR : Your decals can be one of 30+ colors, but only one color. Visit the Digital Fabrication Studio in the basement to see what colors are available. You will choose a color when you drop off your files. ●  LOCATIONLOCATIONLOCAT...

The article addressed interesting points about street art and the rights vs. wrongs about how people perceive this type of art. In my opinion, I always found the occasional street art refreshing and interesting to look at. Of course, there are times when street art expresses vulgar or inappropriate language references. In those cases, I would not say I would encourage that kind of art making, however, someone must of wrote it/expressed themselves for a legitimate reason. There is also the discussion about how art, especially street art, makes use of the space and the street it is located on. One part of the article stated that "if a work of street art is removed from its urban setting and preserved in a museum, the meaning of the work is diminished, devoid of its distinctive meaning” (Willard, 99) I thought that concept was really interesting because that is very true. If art was made o...

How do you feel about the overall outcome of this piece in relation to your art making process? The overall product is something I should be proud of because I was able to actually complete a project using Photoshop, but its definitely still a work in progress. The overall art making process and a computer is still not my favorite. So I cannot say working on this piece was my favorite, however, I managed to complete it to the best of my abilities. 2. In what way did you integrate your personal art practice into this project?  I put one piece of my art on the white door in my composition. I'm still trying to figure out how to incorporate  my practice of personal art into this kind of digital art. I think my ways of thinking of art was probably incorporated  into this first project. I knew what I was comfortable with, so I did my best to complete  what I knew.  3. How did you challenge yourself creatively, conceptually an...
