Though I cut out the game piece on the laser cutter, I always intended to get back to it and now I have. I have been painting it slowly but surely over the last month or so. The piece is a game board that will support a game I am working on that is based…

Responsive for Final Project
My personal art practice spans more than 30 years. I like to say that I have never met a craft that I didn’t like, barring flower arranging. Why I didn’t like arranging flowers primarily stems from their impulse to move and do what you don’t want them to do. Which is why it is ironic…
Final Project Proposal
My final project proposal is based on my Intention Plan for this semester. First, let me say that I have no idea where the time went. I cannot remember a semester that has flown by with the speed this one has. Second, I am laughing hysterically at what I wrote for my Intention Plan. My…
My Final Makey Makey Game
How to assess a game. Did I focus on the player experience? Somewhat. I ideally did not want the player to have egg or maraschino cherries all over their fingers when they were done. My controller idea came to me literally over breakfast, yogurt containers with their labels ripped off. The idea that a shopper…
Clark Does Indeed Live in the Dark!
I really enjoyed this project. It was challenging but Claire did a fabulous job of handing us just the right amount of information. The challenge kept the project interesting and yet was not so grand that the project became frustrating. I have run out of time to do more than allow Clark to float under…
AR Example Textured
I am not sure how to get my objects into the A-Frame project. I left it too long and now I forget the rest of the steps. I will try again tomorrow. For now, I wanted to post my critter in her bottle. I need to add eyes, hi poly maps and animation. It seemed…
My AR Proposal
The idea I had for my AR project was to hide a creature in the bottom of the stairwell next to the Zoo lab. I was inspired by a story I was told as a new grad student about a tunnel that ran from Fuller to Salisbury. This also seems especially poignant for me as…
Laser cut project update
I continue to work on the laser cutting project. I am excited to make the game. I figured I would post my current work here as I finally got the acrylic cut. Woohooo. The plan is that I will paint the bottom side of the acrylic with texture to define the board areas and paths….
Preliminary Models
I really enjoyed making perfectly symmetrical models and then intentionally making them wacky in the Dr. Seuss style. Having said that, I am conflicted about using Dr. Seuss at all due to his history of racism and generally not being a kind neighbor. My bottle model is approximately 4500 polys and my creature model is…
My Sprites
I enjoyed creating these images. I wish I had more time to finish painting all of them. I never did implement the egg bullet or basket of egg ammo. I think that would be cool to pursue
My Final MakeyMakey Game
I had a lot of fun making this game. I was frustrated a bit as well. I am pleased with the outcome but wish I had more time for finishing the artwork. Ah, well. Also, it was so hard to choose which grocery items I would use for my controller. Beer was on the list…
