Study #7: Improvisation on Tactile, Kinesthetic, and Stimuli

My art piece was a 3 ring abstract sculpture made out of different materials on the ring. The

outermost ring had colors of brown, green, and gold. On the inner middle ring its colors were

blue and gray and on the inner inner ring its color was gray. The rings also had different

materials glued on them, for the outermost circle it had leaves, roses, branches, on the inner

middle it had batteries, wires, and glasses, and on the inner inner circle there were keys, chess

pieces, and cards. The materials glued on the sculpture were very random which gave me the

opportunity to think abstract. I took out the word “ego” with the sculpture. I believe as humans

we hid underneath our egos to protect us or to camouflage ourselves for our inner child. The

first layer we have is our ego and each layer gets closer to our true selves, but it is not always

easy showing our true selves and wearing our heart on our sleeves. Each layer shows more

about ourselves which is why the rings represented layers of human beings and their spirits.

Study #8: 3 Ways to Manipulate a Motif

For my motifs, I wanted to pick movements that looked easy but required strengthening and

balance. I chose motifs that would seamlessly blend into the manipulated versions so that it

didn’t look like stop and go choreography. For my manipulations I chose the theme of hear no

evil, speak no evil, hear no evil in dedication to what is going on in our world today. It is a weird

time in our world today and whole isolating and social distancing it is important for me to remain

positive and have hope that everything will be okay. Our world will never be the same again and
the only thing that is important right now is to have all good thoughts and positive energy. For

my manipulations I was using different variations with my theme so that they did not necessarily

change the theme but all looked different when manipulating my motifs.
