Description of Exercise 1 Chair Project


Using a 4’x4’ piece of cardboard you are to construct a chair. Guidelines for this chair include, must hold the weight of a person, cuts and folds allowed but removing any cardboard is prohibited, and it must be 6” off the ground. The cardboard should be able to be unfolded and put back into a contiguous 4’x4’ square.

Summary of Project


Overall, I believe for this to be one of my better projects of think and make so far. I enjoyed the process of building our photo collages and the creativity we were allowed to express. Throughout the process of creating this photo collage I realized how incredibly hard it is to make your original vision come into place. This project was harder than I expected it to be in terms of taking enough pictures, when putting together my final collage and realized I had some gaps to fill and had to go back to location and take more photographs. I am confident in my final collage and believe it is a beautiful piece of artwork.

Photographs are neither true nor false. All photographs are posed. There is always and absence in a photograph of something that has or should be there. You never see what before, after, or around the photograph. The understand a photograph you must see all the details. The photographs with the most power are iconic.

Psychological Aspects


Cameras have changed the world. Cameras make it possible to see something through a different perspective that you originally wouldn’t of been able to see. The way a place or thing can be duplicated makes the world a way better communicated and smaller place. Every picture has its own story and message.
