After this week's play page works, I now I have numerous cuts on my finger. That is because this week I was experimenting with light, negative space, and pocketknives. On day 1, after finishing a full box of Cheez-Its , I decided to cut the box to create my heart form. After finishing, It looked like it was lacking something, so i tried putting my Christmas lights in it and it turned out looking pretty cool. The second day I wanted to try it with a coke can, but originally I was planning to cop out and just cut out a typical cartoon heart. However, I was feeling adventurous so I cut out the full human heart farm using a pocketknife and then I decided to do the same as the previous day and add the lights inside of the can. Though I ended up cutting my hands quite a bit, I thought the end result is one of the coolest that I have made yet, and I also kind of wish I had made a ton of them so I could make a string of Coca-Cola can lights. On the third day, I used my scraps from the first two days an recreated the heart form (pretty average). On the fourth day I got back into playing with light and I used some red leaves and the sun to make the heart, but I had a really hard time keeping them together with glue. If I did it again I would probably try using a different adhesive. The last two images are of the fifth day, which I had some fun with. I found some really tiny canvases in my drawer, so I cut out of it like with the first two pieces, but this time, I tried putting the color on the back of the canvas and using the sunlight to reflect it. After a few failed attempts to notice the color, I figured it might be cool to draw on the back of the paper and let the light of the sun shine it through. The first picture is what I intended on it looking like, but the second one was taken because I noticed the shadow the canvas made looked really cool too. Overall, I had fun experimenting this week, though maybe next week I'll take a break from sharp objects.
