Where to Find Me

If you are interested in my works besides what class homework was nessisary to show here you can go to my deviantart account at skmayor.deviantart.com. That is my more professional art site and saddly my love for all things Disney is not currently flurishing there as of yet. However you can still see influences in my drawings where I am inspired by Disney.

Just incase you didn't know, I love Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs most of all. And then all things Disney (Walt Disney History, Disney Parks, Disney Movies, Disney Art, Disney Music, and so on and so forth) come after. Don't worry, my love for family and friends are squeezed in there somewhere.

Hope you have a magical day!

For Vector Class this fall 2010, I ended up creating about 7 different animations. Here are 3 of them.

Creating my sculpture final

Week 11 Day 1: Creating my sculpture final


For the past few weeks I have been creating my sculpture final. I proposed to my class a sculpture of a trash can covered with Magazine adds and a mannequin inside of it also covered in magazine adds.


The piece would represent how I personally view the pressures and the standards of beauty to be a load of trash. Not that I think models are trash, but what the public and what makes money views as beauty is trash. Just as art is subjective, so should beauty. Beauty is all around and in many different forms, magazine adds are drawing a line around American culture's mind limiting what we will see as beautiful or not. Even though this is my main objective, I want this sculpture to still be open for interpretation, allowing the viewer to bring their own ideas and meanings to the piece.


I used Mod Podge to glue the magazine pages to the trash can and the mannequin. I also drew a black bar over the eyes of the models to hide their identity because I know it is not the model's fault, it is the media's and the public's fault that beauty is set at the standard it is.

Play with art

Week 10 Day 1: Play with art

Can working with art at some point be considered as "playing" with art? Is art fun? Is art an experience? Is art an experiment?

I must admit when I hear the word "play" by itself, I immediate visualise a stage, with actors in costumes, reciting lines in something like a school play. Things are organized and practiced, rehearsals happen and new things are tried. Preparing for the ultimate performance soon to happen in the future. The show is perfected up to the performance. However there is another word "play" and that is when I think of children in a park, girls with dolls, boys with trucks using their imagination creating situations even calamities to overcome and eventually figure things out. It is a learning process, taking things they have observed and putting it into application. Practicing for the future. Can "play" be applied to art?

While I work on my art, often times I make mistakes, or something happens I wasn't prepared for (good or bad) and I have to make alterations and adapt in order to continue with my creation. I half the time experiment. Vincent Van Gogh said " I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it." In that sense I end up creating a situation that I need to overcome. If I look at it through the theatrical word, I am rehearsing, perfecting, trying new things in my studio, preparing for my final piece that will later be shown. While the art is being viewed or in an exhibit, shouldn't it be experienced? Just as a child experiences the rush of a slide in a playground could there be an experience in art? Isn't a school play an experience for the audience?

Even though most of what I have written down are questions, I have an answer for myself. That art can be play, art can be playful, art is experimental, art is practiced, art is an experience, yes art can be play. However, that is the answer for me...not necessarily the answer for you and thus art is subjective.

Time Lapse

Week 9 day 3: Time lapse

In my sculpture class our first project was to create a self portrait in clay. Sculpting my very first head, face, neck, hair, and shoulders wasn't easy. For the fun of it (and if my instructor is nice maybe extra credit) I documented my progress. In 4-D class we discussed stop motion animation and time lapse. Since I had pictures taken every 5 minuets while I worked with the clay, i figured i could create a time lapse with my photographs. I started taking photos the second day of work out of seven.

And here is the YouTube link just in case it doesn't work here on the blog. (YouTube Link)
