Grid Art

I choose to make my grid art out of 900 mini marshmellows! I glued them all together on cardboard and then painted a Tampa sunset on the marshmallows using acrylic paint. I am very happy how it turned out and admire the artists who chose to do grid art for a living because it was extremely time consuming. Hope you enjoy!

Final Video

For my video deconstruction I decided to take someone's normal every day life with technology and put a twist on it. I started by filming my friend doing typical tasks everyone does throughout their day, such as waking up, doing laundry, watching tv and using their laptop. In-between those scenes I put different clips of an animation I found online, that connected with what was happening at the moment. I was hoping to tie it into what the main character was imagining in his head at the moment, but without making it too obvious, to play on the deconstructed element. I decided to make the "real life" scenes black and white to portray them as dull and boring, and to have the animation clips stand out more! I put suspenseful music in the background of the "real life scenes" to put the audience on edge, wondering what the outcome of the typical day will be. The audience does not find out the outcome until the last few moments of the video. The main character goes t...

Interview with Raul Cuero

Hello Everyone! I recently had the chance to watch an interview with Raul Cuero, a famous microbiologist. The interview was based around his views on creativity and what it means to really be creative. The first thing I took away from the interview was Raul Cuero’s inspiring life story. He came from a poor background in Colombia, where his dream of being a microbiologist was looked at as just that, only a dream. He overcame obstacles including racism and prejudice, accounting all the criticism as motivation to make him stronger. Another thing I took away was Raul Cuero’s opinions on intensity and how much it affects creativity. He drilled into my head that in order to be creative, artists must put all they have into their work. Intensity and passion are key ingredients to the success Raul Cuero achieved. Without them, his crazy dream of being a microbiologist would have never been achieved. Listening to Raul speak made me reflect on my own hope...

Introduction

Hello, My name is Ellie and I’d like to welcome you to my blog! I’m an Advertising and Public Relations Major with a Graphic Design Minor here at the University of Tampa. I’m a junior, so as my college career is coming to a close, my goal is to work in the creative department of an advertising agency (in Boston if I can be picky) by this time next year. Other than spending time taking classes for my major, I love going to the beach (which is one of the many reasons I chose to study in Florida) and cooking (mostly Trader Joes frozen meals). I play around with photography as well and I love exercising outdoors and being healthy. Other than that, I’m spending my time here at UT saving up and building my portfolio so I can one day do freelance work and travel the world (I studied abroad for a semester in Australia and would love to one day pick up and move there…another dream of mine). As for why I’m taking Art and Technology…. well it was a requirement for my major, but the c...
