Assignment #3 Repeat Pattern

Assignment #3
Repeat pattern
 
I tried different pattern ideas and settled on flamingo I think because I'm used to working with flamingos because that is my family's bird because it was the only consistency in my grandmother's life when she first moved here from Cuba.
 The rabbit and flowers did not work out and unfortunately neither did the chicken. I seem to be getting better at birds but that rabbit looks SCARY.
 Flamingos actually make this shape!
 I added grass, shrimp, and bowties.
 For some reason I could not rotate these images but here is my actual drawing where I used grey scale markers and next to my original class sketches.



 I told you I could not rotate the images but I still put the images next to each other digitally really quick to make sure the image would make a decent repeat pattern.
These are the pattern after being printed in class. They did not come out great so thankfully I had already printed out a few of my own that came out somewhat better.

Topic Three: Rhinoceros, Part Three Portrait and Propaganda   I chose to do the assignment on my mother. As soon as the assignment was given, I already had a multitude of ideas and immediately started sketching thumbnails. I knew right away that I wanted to do a bunch of pieces in different mediums; everything from collages to videos. Unfortunately I was unfamiliar with most of these methods and did not have time to learn them all. I also initially wanted to display my mother smiling in her portrait and then have my propaganda piece depict her as a stern, authoritative figure. I still wanted my message to be structured the same and similar in concept "The mother you should be" but I realized (as we discussed in class) that because society really only has 1 way to positively depict mothers and motherhood and what it should be, If I did depict my mother as this strong woman who ruled the household with an iron fist (and she does, our household would fall apart witho...
