Narrative: Tarot Cards for Casa Lin - Diaspora

-
I tried to do as many designs as possible based on what information I had. One is about Florida being hot in the future. Several are about an origin story about waking up as a child without adults counting on that and realizing Abuelita wasn't coming back. Then there was one about Abuelita's hand rolled croquettas. I also did one about myself, eating sugarcane as a child. I used digital, photography, and traditional methods.

WARP: Topic 5; Telling Stories: Comic Poetry

I read two of the mentioned linked pages completely. One about C-Comics and one about the "In Pieces" book by Marion Fayolle . Ultimately I decided to cover a piece by Marion Fayolle where there appears to be a couple that are engaged in a romantically intimate situation before separating and the apparent masculine figure then touches a dress on a tertiary figure which stains his hands blue and provides some sort of proof at attempted unfaithfulness or infidelity or perhaps it is proof that the initial feminine figure did not really know this secondary figure who is now marked as a sort of deviant. Figure one then appears to slap figure two, evident by the handprint on the face of figure two, and then end in a form of separation be it permanent or temporary. A lot of the works on this page and in this book appear to be about feminism, identity, sexuality, gender and gender roles, and similar themes.

Topic Four: Landscape--Representation, Intervention and Body-as-Site Outside Visit 1: Garden - Vizcaya   I went to Vizcaya with Stephanie. We took my car to the Metro and then walked. We were sweating bullets. We got lost. I had to stop and ask a mail carrier for directions. He was watching Netflix on his phone though so I'm not really sure how bad I should feel about it.   Stephanie kept finding interesting plants and animals to look at including an iguana!  We took turns posing at the entrance.   Emma met up with us there and of course she does her own thing so we had to take their photo while they posed for something silly and outlandish.   There were some really beautiful things there but I only took a few photos on my phone. I took a good few on my camera though.    This is a map we got while we were there. We also did the house tour too. We were there almost 3 hours. We would have stayed longer but we ...

Topic 4 - Assignment 1 : Street Garden

Topic 4 - Assignment 1 : Street Garden - Vizcaya   I actually used my trip to Vizcaya to do my assignment on. Not because I did not want to look for other places, (trust me, I do a lot of walking, a lot of getting lost, a lot of wandering around, and a lot of photos) but because I did not really want to do so much of a city scape and I felt Vizcaya to really be my ideal place. I did not think this assignment would turn out to be as big a deal as it turned into but it actually did take me a while so I was not particularly concerned in that regard.   Below are my notes, sketches, and a map to Vizcaya. This is my base sketch for this piece. I actually did it in non-photo blue. I found it useful because I like the blue coming through but I can also get rid of it in the future by scanning it or turning it into something else if I ever feel like it.      Work in progress.   This is not actually a scene from Vizcaya. Simply one in...
