Modular Madness Crit Improvments
After getting some feed back from WASH i realized my piece would have been better if it had incressed in size. Nothing couldnt have been one about the way it was glued or piece together beacuse the material. String shifted to much and could have made the piece look messy with all the wire/string whatever is used being mazed around it. Glass glue worked, but if the weight total was to much, glass glue would like any other glue and fall apart.
But after further thought, i came to a conculsion on what should have been done. Yes, make the piece bigger, and the areas with too much weight should have a small clear fishing wire attached to it and strung up to the main wire that supports the piece. This would allow the piece to expand wider and with testing , possibly taller. The string around the new pieces would have to be super glued to a chess piece that is sure not to break beaucse the extra weight will all move to that one chess piece.
With more messing around, testing, and with this new idea in mind, the piece could have been improved.

Autobiography
Born in Scottland, Wick (2years).
Moved to spain (3 years), new york (couple months), texas (sanantonio, laredo, then Houston.)
Summers i lived in florida, oklahoma, and mississippi.
I lived with my parents, brother, and sister.
After my parents divorced i lived with my mom, she soon got sent to iraq and i had to live with my father. After my mother got back from her 8 year tour, i decided to continue living with my father. Today, i drive every otehr weekend to visit her.
Since i moved alot i never cared to make friends, when i finally settled i made a few but i enjoyed few company. Less is more. I went to a few schools, but since the ciriculum is different for each i was able to get ahead. My senior year of high scholl i gto out at noon, went to work, and then at night i went to college to get basic courses out of the way and continues thorught the summer.
I plan to be a animator, specializing in 3D effects and animation for movies and creating back drops for green screens.
I'm not spiritual at all really. I believe in a high power.
My character is very emotionless, expressing emotions is not my cup of tea. I keep things to my self and i'm respectfully blunt towards people. But i am very charasmistic, i can give public speaches easily and im very much a leader type. I like to take control of group projects and lead the group fairly and with respect to the best of quality. I have not problem with take other peoples advice and listening to their input.

MY piece could have been made with another material, thou it possibly could be more difficult. I chose chess pieces beacuse each piece has a bottom indent that can be use to perfectly attach the other piece of chess. Each piece also complements and gives a feel of a chess match beacuse the pieces are the same yet the form is different.
THe chess pieces were extreamly difficult to work with. They all had to be sanded and it was if each set of pieces that were attached had a different weight and required a different method of glueing to supposrt it. The glue i used ranged from Super glue, gorilla, hot glue, cement, and purple glue.
The two biggest things i learned is that glass wants to be glass and smooth surfaces have nothing to attach to. I leared alot of thing when it comes to handleing glass. In addition, i learned how the different types of glue respond to weight and how well it holds. Last, I learned that combining certain types of glue with or without a heating source creates an even stronger bind.
The idea of giving off a chandlier form with the glass chess pieces stayed strong throught out the process of creating. It was very difficult in creating because of the weight the fragileness of the chess pieces. Each piece needed to be sanded to allow it to stick more with the glue and then the weight of the glued sets needed to be adjusted to stay in place and hang.
Beaucse off the difficulty faced in the process of creating the form and t he choice of material not being changed, it made the project very ambitious.

Staying in line is easier then crossing the line.
Fear to cross, unable to cross, do I want to cross? I did. An act so dirty, it covered my body, my body was not only mine, but I felt clean. Joy inflamed all of me and doubt soothed that ecstatic pain. I wasn’t hurt. The smell was smothering, the touch burned, and the memory engraved. An unfathomable crave develop. I kept coming back for more of it or more for that? There was a deepening connection, to that. I would take anything. I took the thorns, I took the weeds, i took the leftovers and the ache. I took the comfort, I took warmth, I took the security. I wanted the balance. I still don’t have it and I fall constantly. But I keep coming back for more. I come back for that which drowns me in desire and what appears to be love. That which dilutes my judgment and myself. I’m not only mine. I’m it’s too. I can’t escape it easily nor do I want to. The connection and the bond runs deep. There is a world of truths locked up in one lie and I find that staying in line is much harder then crossing the line. My line is a line. Just not the line you may want.

Research
Arte Povera: A style of Modern Art
Michelangelo Pistoletto was acknowledged as one of the main representatives of Arte Povera. That is why i choose him, just so i could see the main work of the Arte Povera style. I like the use of broken mirrors, i had a vision of doing a piece with broken glass as well.
Arte Povera : A style of modern art
i picked Jannis Kounellis because i like the fact that my first impression of his art was that it was really messy but when i looked closer, i realized that it was actually very clean. I came to the conclusion is that i liked this artists pieces because they were a clean mess.
Process Art: an artistic movement where the end product is not the principal focus
I choose Richard Serra mainly because i have more knowledge about him before learning that he is a process artist. I like his work because it has a lot of interaction with people.
Process Art:
I choose Eva Hesse because i didn't like her pieces, I found them to be really simple, sometimes small, lack luster, and colorless. These lacking elements did not appeal to me.
Minimalism: movements in various forms of art and design particularly visual art
Frank stella is a painter and print maker, i like his work because he worked with abstractions. I like Abstractions because human minds are so different and there are various responses that can be given when viewing abstractions.
Minimalism:
Robert Morris is a conceputal artist and sculptor, i found is work to be amusing, it reminded me of children playground equipment. When i looked at his pieces it made me want to climb and swing from it.
Post Minimalism: term meaning to develop and go beyond the aesthetic of minimalism
Rachel Whiteread is best known for her sculptures which take the form of casts. I choose her because she was the first person to win the Turner Prize and the piece was very controversial.
Post Minimalism:
Tom Friedman is a sculptor, i chose him because i loved his use of color and the absolute silliness of his pieces, his work would defiantly inspire me to creature some weird creatures and/or figures.
