Improved Senior Project Idea



When we were asked to bring in a subsidiary for our senior project idea, I chose to bring in an example of a painting of pointillism. I chose an ordinary and familiar object, and one that contains my favorite color - a rubber duck. I printed out the image in a 15x15 cm square (1st image above). From this image, I created a grid and created the same illustration but made from hundreds of dots using the pointillism technique (2nd image)

When I brought this subsidiary to class, people were interested in it and wanted to see more of this image. The idea of seeing the same rubber duck but several times its size, was brought up. I liked this idea and thought it would be interesting to make this image human sized.

I realized that by carrying out this idea, I would be combining my first 2 ideas for my senior project - blowing something out of proportion and pointillism.

Right now, I am thinking to chose an object (perhaps the same rubber duck) that can be held in ones hand and blowing it out of proportoin to make it human sized using pointillism.
