Stamp Cut Out Maya Kohl
Maya Kohl
For this art project we started by making a list of words that described yourself. From this list you were to pick your top three and create symbols for each word. With each symbol we made it into one. This one symbol representing the top three words would be drawn out to perfection, and cut out into positive space of construction paper. Later we will carve out symbol into foam and we will be making prints with it, like a stamp.
I create this symbol to represent that I am musical, loving and adventurous. The outer shape of this symbol creates a heart for loving with the well know musical symbol the treble clef. I put it upside down to create the heart effect look. To represent adventurous I have tringle coming from one side of the heart to be like mountains. I had tried some more detailed looks like sheet music for a cut out but this is going to be made into a stamp so it needed to be more simple. So I tried more realistic images to put together but soon realized it is what symbol I believe represents my word. So it became easier to express my final sketch.
These words symbolize me because I love to be on edge and have fun being outgoing. I have been involved with music my whole life and with most songs I can express a part of myself or I can understand the lyrics. I have a lot of love and care my friends and family and pets. I would do anything I could to help a friend. So I consider myself loving.
This project was a challenge becasue of how limited it was, being able to express these words in our own symbols is sluc a creative thing with so many options, so when I know it will be hard to carve into foam later I try not to make it so hard. So having to not go into as much detail as I would like to in my symbol was hard. I also found it a challenged cutting out my treble clef to create the negative space effect, becasue normally in music it's drawn a line so making it bubble bold was a challenge with all the swirls. By making it bolder made it easier to see the positive and negative space. It was important to show inside the swirls of the treble clef to show the space. without it it wouldn't correct.
