I altered my previous blob assignment for my mid-semester project, where I was really interested in adding elements like paint and mark-making to improve upon my Dal\u00ed inspired clocks. Some major changes were that I altered the sizing of the drawing, resizing the elements and scaling up the work, along with adding more clocks with variable clock-times and bringing more elements into the composition. Of 40 variations of generated, updated blobs, I selected 2 that I thought looked the most interesting on screen, and plotted them. I then added a plastic covering that serves as protection and also a layer to preserve the drawing, while being able to add color and paint to the drawings.\u00a0<\/span><\/pre>\n
The inspiration behind the paint and markers that I added to the artwork had to do with Dal\u00eds exploration of texture, specifically ideas that play with softness and hardness in <\/span>The Persistence of Memory<\/span><\/i>. I approached the painting process with a focus on emphasizing the hardness, yet softness of acrylic paint, creating the 3D effects of the clock hands by squirting out paint from a tiny piping bag, while adding texture and paint to reveal the texture and dimensionality of the paint through protruding and layered surfaces. With the paint and neon markers, I made the decision to go crazy on the colors to create a more playful painting. I didn\u2019t want to copy the color scheme, but I definitely could have benefitted from testing color combinations and making the best color scheme possible.<\/span><\/pre>\n
Looking back, the plotting and the painting did not come out as desired. The paint lost a lot of its dimensionality, where the hands of the clocks flattened out and a lot of the 3D texture that existed when the paint was wet flattened out in the drying process. I also should have been more intentional with color, and should have gone all the way with the paint or have more intentional areas; it was difficult trying to keep some elements of the hatching (not covering up the plotter marks) and choosing where to put paint. Along with the plotters, I realized sizing up is difficult, where material changes and the physical properties of the drawings can change. I think my smaller iterations were more successful, where material choices and composition of lines and line-width should be reconsidered. I realized that viewing the image from the computer screen and what comes out from the plotter certainly matters a lot, and needs to be tinkered with.<\/span><\/pre>\n
