Khalil Clark Marking Period 1

Posted by Khalil Clark in Advanced Art - Hull on
When starting this project I didn't have any clue of what recycled material I would use to make a project. Every time my parents go shopping they bring back plasti bags and put them under the sink and don't use them. Since I knew that I liked messenger bags because I get frustrated carrying backpacks, I decided I would use plastic bags to make a messenger bag.

After coming up with an idea I researched different ways you can make a messenger bag out of plastic bags. When I started working on the bag I realized that sewing everything by hand would take a really long time because I don't have a sewing machine. Therefore I changed my idea to making a laptop case out of plastic bags a an old non-hooded sweatshirt. I used what I had from the messenger bag and add on more bags if it needed to be bigger. After looking at the design of this I realized I didn't want to do this either.

Now I am back to the idea of making a messenger bag out of plastic bags, but with a different take on this. I decided that I will fuse the bags together using an iron and wax paper the same way I would for the laptop case or the first messenger bag I was going to make. After fusing them together I will take a hot glue gun and join the bags together, then cut and finish joining the rest of the bag together. Once I'm done making the bag design I will sew on a strap and hot glue a bag flap on to the bag.

For my art project, I took inspiration from "The Simpson's Movie". In the film, the city of Springfield got quarantined because of all the toxic waste they let off into the river. I took my own spin on this idea by making a miniature version of Philadelphia.

When I made this I didn't need a lot of stuff. I got a box from my dad's job and some old boxes from creams and medicine. 


First I started to sketch out some ideas of a futuristic city. After I got my ideas sketched out, I began to gather my materials and build a mini city. Here are some pictures (coming soon)

In my art class we are studying the creation of art through recycled materials. I found this very interesting because the idea of creating something new out of something old is phenomenal. But I found that doing this was not easy.

 At first I didn’t know what I wanted to do.  I went through about 10 different ideas. Finally I came up with this idea of making a pyramid out of bottle caps. I thought this was a good idea because I have different things going on in my life. It's important to me that I prioritize them. If I don't then I will be consumed by all the things I have to do. I think that a pyramid is a good way of showing, while using bottle caps.
