Layers Project: The original concept for this piece was the center circle with the 3 raindrop beach scenes at different times of day. The concept then expanded because I didn’t like the final exterior shape of the circle around the raindrops. The concept expanded so that the circle with raindrops was actually a pearl in…

Altered Toy Project – Emily
I decided to go with the “Easy” Bake Oven idea for the altered toy project. I put the design I had into the printing queue just to see how some of the things looked but I will be adding some of the suggestions that were made on the design post about adding more things to…
Altered Toy Design – Emily
The toy I chose to do was a parody of Candy Land. I might end up switching this idea to a different board game or toy but I’m not sure, also because I’m not sure if a board game can count as a toy. I tried to think about the toys/games I played as a…
3D Doodle – Emily
For the Tinkercad doodle I wanted to see if there was a limit to how many things could be grouped together and what the overlaps looked like. For the ZBrush core mini doodle it ended up being some combination of a spider and Davy Jones from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
Lantern Project – Emily
With the updated design I made cuts for the project. I had to do some of the pieces a couple times because pieces got stuck and I had moved the wood too much for it to be recut. I think I might try to incorporate the cut out pieces of Donna and the Dynamos into…
Lantern Design – Emily
For my lantern design, I decided to do a Mamma Mia lantern. I was able to test cut the design on cardstock and saw some places that could use adjustment location wise because it cuts the piece out or interferes with the edge. I’m thinking of potentially changing one side so that instead of being…
Layers Project Final Piece – Emily
(4/12/21) As of right now, for my initial design the only thing I need to do is add the top layer over the raindrops to case it in. I planned to do this by using scrap pieces of wood from previous cuts and hot gluing them between the base layer and top layer. However, the…
Layers Cuts 1 – Emily
Cutting out the design showed me what I needed to adjust in the design so pieces that aren’t meant to be cut out don’t end up that way (the top of the bucket and the sun setting). Additionally, I think before going into final versions more testing of cuts is needed because I consistently had…
Layers Concept Sketch – Emily
The artists I drew inspiration from for my layers design were Hazel Glass, Shadowfox, and Gabriel Schama. The elements from Hazel Glass that served as inspiration was that a scene was created from the layers and that the top layer was either a part of the piece or provided a view into the world within…
First Cut – Emily
Drawing 1 cut during training.
Drawings #2 and #3 – Emily
For design 2, I incorporated the drawing on paper into something in Inkscape. The drawing was one umbrella and then I copied and resized it for smaller versions. For design 3, the red rectangles falling were from the coding site and the circles and half circles were added.
Design #1 – Emily Bowler
For design 1, my picture is an attempt at my dog Buddy who passed away last year. I haven’t ever tried to make a piece of art of him, I’m not sure why I haven’t but I figured I would try now. The reference image I used was one from when he was sitting and…
Introduction and Portfolio: Emily Bowler
Hi I’m Emily and I’m from Connecticut. Art fits into my life as a time spent doing whatever I want to make something. If I make a mistake, I work around it or change what I’m doing so the mistake is no longer a mistake. As a result, some canvases get painted over a lot….
