second project – Sprockets and Springes

Iago, not just a Parrot

My project: I chose the drama masks to represent Iago’s two-faced nature. The black and white were chosen because of the racial bias Iago shows in regards to Othello. The text is green because jealousy is often associated with green. Since the dawn of humanity, there has been a never-ending search for a reason forContinue reading “Iago, not just a Parrot”

The “Eyes” have it

There is a cliche that always seems to pop up in media. ”Eyes are the window to the soul.” It makes sense, eyes are often more expressive than facial features. This holds true to the eye imagery in Jane Eyre. The first passage that really shows how important eyes are is when Jane is describingContinue reading “The “Eyes” have it”

Thornfield Hall

I’ve taken the time to try to accurately recreate Thornfield Hall in Minecraft. Having the description read to me from the book, I felt transported to the location (though that may have been part of being in quarantine at the time), and I started to draw it as I saw Thornfield in my mind. AtContinue reading “Thornfield Hall”

Ambiguity in “The Love Suicide at Amijima” and “Hamlet”

Chikamatsu is notorious for his plays on words that include double meanings, irony, and references to other plays. These phrases add to the romantic aspect of the piece. Chikamatsu shows here that he likes to illustrate a realistic world that is not guided by strict laws. The ambiguity begins on the first page with theContinue reading “Ambiguity in “The Love Suicide at Amijima” and “Hamlet””

“The Dew Breaker” Character Study

For my project, I chose to make character-based potion bottles based on Edwidge Danticat’s “The Dew Breaker.” Plot-crucial characters I felt like I had a good grasp on in terms of characterization are who I focused on, and that narrowed down to Anne, Ka, and the Preacher. I was going to include Dany, as well,Continue reading ““The Dew Breaker” Character Study”

Avid, for Ava

As my project, I attempted to queer themes found in Astrophil and Stella, and instead rediscovered my hatred for creating poetry! It was an adventure, to say the least. Below, there are two poems I wrote after pulling apart the common themes between Nic’s selection of Sidney’s poetry, followed by a discussion of how thatContinue reading “Avid, for Ava”

Kahoot!

https://create.kahoot.it/share/the-faerie-queene/da295395-2d6f-48 b7-a367-281e19ed006f For my Second Project in this class, I chose to make a Kahoot for my classmates to play. Kahoot is a fun trivia game that I have used for a handful of projects, and have participated in during different classes multiple times before. It is a great tool that I was introduced toContinue reading “Kahoot!”

Project 2 – The Spiderweb

Now I am in no ways an artist and would never try and take a chance on a project. This time I decided to push myself out of my comfort zone and try to depict the entirety of The Dew Breaker and its intertwining storylines through drawing. Although I have never thought of myself asContinue reading “Project 2 – The Spiderweb”
