Twin Powers (Blood Brothers Marvel)

Here are some ideas we got from the examples shown in class. Since my brother and I decided to collaborate we decided it would be interesting to apply our twin characteristics. For example if Johnny was going into Burger King and ordered something, Johnny would sit down and wait for his order. Now this is where it gets interesting, when the order is ready, Richard who is wearing the exact same clothes as Johnny, picks up my order, while Johnny is still sitting down to see if the person who took the order notices. Another idea could be we order a pizza and take it into subway and eat it with the pizza box lifted up so people can see that we are eating a pizza at subway. Still brainstorming on more ideas that can utilize our twin powers.                              

POL 337-343

On page 338 the book states that building were decorated with little to no ornamentation simply to create beauty with the use of form. Robert Venturi et al disagreed with creating designs that had functionality rather creating design for design's sake (339). This showed the importance of visual culture when sculptures like larger-than-life donuts, visual jokes and other creative designs were incorporated in ever day locations (339). This is important because I was recently in Moses Lake where I saw a meat butchering place in town and I saw two black "silhouette type" (cows without detail just the color black) on top of the roof. These cows may have no function except just being on the roof but it connects with the butchering place in which it create's a way for people to notice the little finishing touches places like these may have. Also driving by can be very interesting becuase I don't see cows on roofs of buildings very often.

Blog for Triptych

When I first started the project I had a little trouble looking for a found object. I was going to bet a a piggy bank cat that I was going to use but I chose something that was on a smaller scale. So I found a red roll of tape that I had and at first I didn't really have a reason for choosing the object but once I starting thinking about it I could apply it to the real world. I would use the color red to enhance one part of my triptych and so it could connect with my found object. Plastic pollution is what I ended up going with and finding a proper location was key. I chose to use a water fountain at Washington State University and it connected with my triptych because the water fountain promotes the use of non plastic water bottles. This is what I ultimately created:
