Favorite Color and Why?
- This is my favorite color as it provides a warm and calming feeling; it serves as a reminder of enjoyable and exciting moments. I spend a lot of time scuba diving, fishing, and on the water, therefore, "light blue" brings forth those good memories. In addition to, "light blue" also reminds me of the sky, which I became fond of when I first started working towards my pilots license.

This is a picture of a local grocery store. More specifically it
is the center section of the store with all the boxes and bottles. This picture
was taken in the past 10 years. When we take a look a this image, we are
immediately overcome by the feeling of un-easiness. This makes us feel un-easy
because of the amount of colors and products in the picture. On the right hand
side of the picture you can see two shoppers. Before the picture was taken they
were aimlessly wondering around the store looking for products to purchase.
When this picture was taken the two shoppers are stationary, overwhelmed by the
amount of products on the shelf. They are clearly looking for something, yet
the craziness of the shelves are too overwhelming for them.
After the picture was taken, they continued through out the store looking for
products. This photograph attempts to convey a societies passion with over
consumption, choice, and variety. This is evident by the many different colors,
shapes and items available, yet when you look at it all together; you notice
they are all one giant picture. This picture overall emphasizes the
issue we have as shoppers, to many choices, and to many colors
all vying for our attention.
Tim Roda's Blog
Questions:
1. What was the influence behind Watermill 2013?
2. Why incorporate drug influence into Watermill 2013?
3. Is Family Construction meant to convey building or demolishing?
4. Who has had the greatest influence on you?
5. What is the direction of your next set of pieces?
Comments:
1. I liked the use of children and Cheerios in Watermill (how drugs destroy youth?)
2. The website is easy to navigate and its style seems to compliment his work.
3. The black and white seems to add a dark side to his images.
4. I enjoyed the use of real people in his pictures.
5. I enjoy his story/theme told through varying images throughout/within his pieces.
Response: Tim Roda's personality and energy seemed to be the motivation for his work and ideas. His passion for his family definitely translated to his work as he uses them in his work and also creates images that portray elements of a family, such as household hierarchy.
World Record:
Most Beers Consumed in One Sitting (119)

– Claire Sherwood
Comments:
1.
Certain pieces seem to resemble food (spaghetti,
cupcakes, etc.)
2.
Heavy usage of white
3.
Objects tend to have a cone shape/emphasis
4.
Use of lighting to form certain shadows
5.
Artwork formed generally takes up a lot of space
Questions:
1.
Why does your artwork tend to take on a cone
shape? Do you have an affinity for that shape? If so, where does it stem from?
2.
Why only use women in the face paintings?
3.
Did you used to make cupcakes? Do you plan on
starting your own cupcake shop?
4.
I noticed you blow on certain substances, what
is this method called? What effect are you looking for?
5.
Where does your love for fabricate originate
from? What style are you shooting for?
Response: Claire seemed to use her maternity and feminism as inspiration for her work. She enjoyed using cloth, fabric, and elements of food/baking in her work. I liked how she thought out of the box, using different styles and techniques in her work, such as the blowing technique.

Comments:
1.
I noticed a mix of ceramics and wood
2.
His artwork almost always seems to be wall
mounted
3.
Subtle usage of Catholicism
4.
Gold seems to make its way into many of his
pieces
5.
Faces on the ceramic pieces are frequently
removed and replaced with something else
Questions:
1.
Are you a devote Catholic? (In reference to
Jesus and mother Mary in your pieces)
2.
Why do
you replace the faces in your work with other objects? To remove identity?
3.
What is your favorite piece?
4.
What would you say motivates or guides the
direction of your work?
5. Have you ever experienced ridicule for defacing religious figures?
Jason's personality seemed much more relaxed than that of Jason; he was more subtle in his explanations. He didn't seem to portray the same sense of energy, but his work definitely had a reoccurring theme that translates his passion within his work, specifically identify and religion.
