Photocopy Project

The artist movement I chose to do my project on was Cubism. I chose Cubism because I think each scan represents a square geometrical object of myself and when put together they come to make a whole, which is my upper body and face. Cubism is all about taking a subject and breaking it down to its basic units. So i decided to scan myself and break it down into pieces i.e. my face, the left side, the right side, the top, my chest, my right and left shoulder and right and left hand. I also chose to take different angles and perspectives of my body because along with different geometrical shapes the Cubist movement also looked at multiple perspectives. The process of scanning myself was fun but challenging. It was hard to hold still while my printer was scanning so some of the scans came out blurry, and it was also hard to get the right angle to get closest to the glass to get a nice clear scan. Other than that the project was a lot of fun, and here is a preview of what I have so far. 

Grid final

Here is the final product. on the right you have the sketch, and on the left is the final one. I think it came out very nicely, matching pretty closely to the actual image which should be just below.

So in honor of having car problems, I have decided to do my project on the Dodge emblem. Hurrah.
