The object I choose to work with for this project is a skull with various symbols etched into it. Many of the symbols relate to religion, with a cross on the back and other Celtic symbols on the front. Personally, I think that skulls represent death and rebirth but in a celebratory way. Many people… Continue reading Project 1: Part 1 Writing Assignment

Project 1 – Jingyi Zhou
I chose to work with an old perfume bottle. It was the first perfume I bought for myself. By definition, a perfume bottle is a vessel made to hold scent. I think it represents something romantic and positive and is usually one of the top gift options. It’s probably because perfume is associated with romantic relationships… Continue reading Project 1 – Jingyi Zhou

Project 1, Part 1
My object is literally a baby, riding a dolphin, holding up a shell. I would guess that the original intended use of this is as a candy dish. I think my object represents literally a beachy scene in heaven. Its fantastical and not realistic while depicting real things. I think my object represents and has… Continue reading Project 1, Part 1
Project 1 Part 1 Danielle Porter: Research Writing
My objects are small glass bottles sealed with corks. The corks are removable, and the bottles are in different shapes, including a heart. These objects indicate the individual who created them wishes to preserve even small items or substances in their life, and that others who buy these objects want the same. Some of the… Continue reading Project 1 Part 1 Danielle Porter: Research Writing

Michael Duncan Project 1: “Accumulations”
I have chosen to work with a scaled-down version of a Volkswagen bus, which is made out of plastic and designed to be rolled backward to store energy that can be used to propel the van forward when released. This van denotes a carefree, “hippy” lifestyle, and the dream of living one’s life focusing on… Continue reading Michael Duncan Project 1: “Accumulations”
Project 1 Research: Writing Part 1
In a literal sense, I have chosen to work with a small wooden hand-carved hedgehog figurine that is holding a cob of corn. This object had many different textures from the quills on the back to the individual kernels of corn. I believe both the corn and hedgehog can have multiple meanings. Hedgehogs are known… Continue reading Project 1 Research: Writing Part 1

I have chosen to work with a seal as my object for project 1. The seal is a mammal with flippers that usually lives in the colder regions and spends most of its life in the water. The body of the seal is round with tapered ends allowing it to swim adequately under water. Seals… Continue reading Angela Meckley, Project 1 Part 1: Writing Assignment
