SCULPTURE EXPERIMENTATION TECHNOLOGY HIGHER THAN NATURE
In this experimentation we had to make and sculpture with the different objects we could find and this needed to had a message. I made an sculpture of how human give more importance to technology than to nature but also i wanted to show how the nature is the base of everything because with this we can't live
DRAWING EXPERIMENTATION LINES
In this class we learned how we needed to draw with all the body not only with the hands but with all the body legs, complete arms and other parts, we learn about action painting about the triangle of action, piece and memory and how some times the action is more important than the piece

9 grade
Wallet exercise
in this exercise we had to take our wallets and take out all the things that we had, organise them into categories and then chose one that remember us things that bring to our mind memories, stories, things that make us feel something and then we had to take a news paper and take the words and make a poem to our object
My poem talks about a proyect which is life about how kids and young people start planing their lifes and that the first step is fight the fear and start taking ideas with compromaise so then when you look back you will see the importance of it. This was clearly what I made on the stanford program I effort and fight for what I want to be when I grow, but first i had to work and fight for that small program which was my proyect
Poem:
la cadena, los niños, parecen ser los proyectos los cuales retornarán acogiéndose a la decisión de realizar un nuevo metodo para trazar un nuevo camino a seguir. El primer proyecto clave en la decisión, el proposito es modificar algunos temas de la rama como por ejemplo, la manera la elección de como tratarse la iniciativa, comprometida. En el pasado han demostrado que han sido ampliamente y solamente en una situacion que debe pasar y superar el resto de los miedos
Finding the object
In this exercise we had to search in our houses our own archive those objects that bring us memories, feelings expreiences, and put them on our own categories, this is what I chose
Family
Hobbies
Campestre
Travel
Friends
Triumphs
The next step was to chose one object per category and put an abstract t concept that it represents this were my objects and concepts
Friends
Family
Hobbies
Travel
Triumphs
Last we had to chose one object the most important and put the story or explenation of why did we chose it
This is my object my scout scarf. This object has been with me more or less 8 years since I won it on second grade. When I look at it I have a million of memories of happy, sad exiting moments and memories. This such as scouts is part of my life. But I chose Peace as my abstract because my scarf represent scouts and scouts is peace for me, since the moment I got it scouts had become in an activity which when I go I forget about all the problems, stress sad moments that I have in my life and I spend 2 days with some of the persons that are so important to me. All the scouts give me peace, I know that I can trust and ask anyone of scouts and they will be there for me including the ones that allready leave the school. Since the moment I got it, I got a family, a place were I belong I found peace and that scarf carry on all my memories all the teachings from the older ones, all the happy moments, my scarf is my biggest and post important archive
Key word: I chose peace as an abstract concept, why? because that is scouts for me, scouts its peace, when I am on scouts I forget about all the problems I go to the expeditions and I am free, I am happy I have no stress, for me scouts is that thing that stop me from becoming crazy because of the problems its my exit to problems. So that's why the scarf is peace because my scarf is scouts and scouts is peace.
remember it
in this exercise we had to remember our story, the story of our object and represent it and tell it with objects
This was the first picture with the objects and my abstract concepts
Then we had to join the objects and put them with what conect them to guide the persons
this was one of the most important parts of the exercise because we had to remember the stroy and write the story with sentence starting with I remember and then use that to ell the story
Black poem
This is my black poem, to the object, talks about the night and the base of the poem is relato de un naufrago, in this case i had to cover the words and make drawings telling the stroy and my feelings of that night
Object transformation
In this part we had to transform our object and draw it or show it on different stages or ways
The first stage or transformation was drawing our object the most detail as possible looking at the object
The second transformation was drawing the object but know based on memory with out looking at the object
The next transformation was the shadow a negative image of our object just in black
The next transformation was to take many pictures of our object, from different angles, with the details show every part of our object
the next tranformation was to chose a picture that is related or represent our object, for me scouts is family, is peace, and that's why I chose this picture of my older brothers and scouts which I have share amazing moments
The last transformation was with a quote, I chose this from Alfonso, because this is the meaning of scouts and the school, all the scouts must try to become a scout knight, inclouding me and sence the moment I got my scarf I promess my self I will become one so this quote represent my objectives and my dreams.
After all this process i had to solve the following questions
How this different transformation processes is serving as main guideline to generate a narrative?
I think it help because it can create different perspectives, different views, we can understand that behind the object there is more, there is a story and based on all this is easier to tell a story
Is it effective for the task?
I think it is because after all this is easier to remember and we have more elements to create the narrative and also because the object can say many things and with this we can show the story that we want
How can these detonate different interpretations?
This can detonate different interpretation as it is art, art is not a common lenguaje, every body can interpret on a different way depending on their experiences or their story, when I see all of this I feel something different that some one that is not a scout or things like that
How does the type of transformation process change the view over an object or a series of images?
My view change because i have not a lot of moments to sit and reflect, when I start this interpretation moment I discover that my scarf is not only my honor, is my memories and moments with friends, my dreams and objectives, I discover that was more that what it appear every detail is a story a moment which I will never forget and that will allways be in my heart.
Which questions are more or less suggestive when building a narrative?
I think that no question or step is more or less important I think that all of them help to remember, to create the narrative, to create different interpretation, to find the details, to remember. So that's why I think that no question is more or less important
Tranformation with digital tool
In this case we had to chose an event or some pictures that could ilustrase archaival material in my case was the accident of chernobyl and how did prypiat end after the accident, and then edit on pixlr in order to show the abstract concept and the situation.
abstract concept: greed
My opinion is that all this accident, all this pain was caused by human greed, the human wanted a source of energy to get power with out carrying about the concecuences, and when the famouse accident of chenobyl arrived, the manager of the plant decide it was better to try to safe the plant than the people in prypiat, he did not evacuate the workers, or the citizents and many inconcents pay the price of a greed man.
Body and space
In this experimentation we had to become our selfs in statues, we had to put our self in a uncorfortable position during one minute some some objects in our body and record our self with out moving
Reflect on what happened, your preconceptions, fears regarding the inclusion of the body. Did you feel confortable or not?
I felt unconfortable
Why you think that comfort or discomfort happened?
I think I felt unconfortable because I had many things on my legs, I had thinks on my arms and I had to stay still in a position that was hurting my legs
Can these sculptures be considered art?
Yes
Yes or not and why?
Yes because in this case I was doing a thing that are comon in art such as disrrupt others and the cotidianity, also because in this moment I was interacting with the sapce, with my body and placed on a place that is public in my house, in this case I was a sculpture, I was the art piece
