Droplets of Amsterdam – Inspiration Art Piece

In this project, I was given the task of seeking out an inspirational piece of historical art to model my own art piece after. I chose an obscure ink drawing by Rembrandt, which was one of many in a series of sketches of Amsterdam and other Nederland landscapes and architectural fortifications known simply as “The New Town-Hall in Amsterdam”. It depicts a new building recently installed in the center of the large open area, now removed. Amsterdam is often cloudy and precipitating, so I decided to be accurate in my piece. I used half ink for the droplets, indicating the past that Rembrandt saw, and half paint, indicating the lively present.

Truncated Icosahedron – Paper Cutting 3D Art Piece

In this Project, I was tasked to create a 3D object by assemblingĀ 2D shapes. I’m very familiar with polyhedrons, so I decided to make a soccer ball my object of choice. In 2D, I cut 20 equally-sized white hexagons and 10 equally-sized black pentagons. Then I assembled them in two semi-spheres, or bowls, and pieced them together.

Shot Types

Here I was tasked with making a video which included close up shots, wide shots, and establishing shots. I came up with this relatable scene and had a lot of fun making it.
