Our first senior project was to make a 1 minute video introducing ourselves. Here's mine!

Generations
The first project for Barron's class is called "Generations." You choose something that evolved over three stages, and then make 6 "bits" (2 for each evolution), which you then assemble together into one in the end. It can be your family history, or the anything that's evolved.
I did my project on 3 of the the places I've called home: My house growing up in Minnesota, the one where I lived with my parents until I came to SJSU, and my place with my current roommates (who are some of my best friends).
While cutting up my bits to make my final, I ended up drifting a bit from the actual places themselves, and it ended up being more about the feeling of home that I got from each place.
This project was a a lot of fun to experiment with. I tried watercolor again, made a stamp, even did some 3D (2.5D?) stuff with fabric. The quote in the main area is part of something I wrote before we left the MN house as a message to the new residents. It was a wish that they would love the new place as much as I had. I edited it a bit here, and maybe it's a little cheesy, but I like the idea of my 9-year-old self sending current me a message. She had a lot of faith in me.
The only bit I thought lost something in the cutting was this one, based on my door/wall back at my parents' house.

Timeless
Done as part of for my 116 class "Generations" Project. For my project, I'm doing 3 of the the different houses I've lived in. My middle house used to have a pool, and I wanted to represent that feeling I got when floating underwater, like it was a different world.
Found inspiration in the photography of Elena Kalis (specifically, the photo 4 rows from the bottom of the girl with the red ribbon).
It's interesting how rotating the image gives a different feel. When viewed "properly" so that the surface is up, she looks like she's drowning (not what I was going for). With the surface on the bottom, it's like she's falling into a portal (which I liked, but wasn't quite right either). The surface to the side feels more like it's her choice whether to go through or not.

Imagine taking it for walks, though!
Been trying to draw more comics lately. It's what got me to fall in love with art in the first place. Featuring me and my roommates!
