Here’s another lovely throwback blog post of some assignments I did in my Art and Visual Technology (AVT) undergrad class. I had some extra space in my schedule during my last semester of college, so I decided to take a fun art class. Take a look at some of the pieces I’ve made!
Data Collection x Vector Illustrations
Within this project, we had to collect data and create a piece that included the information we gathered. I took photos that I had with my friends and used them as the basis for the vector illustrations. Then, I used a Google Form and asked for the following pieces of information from my friends (at the time of gathering the data, which was in 2020): favorite color, unwinding/stress-relieving/coping methods, and favorite song/artist/TV show/movie:
- Natalie L
- Color: Turquoise
- Unwinding/Stress-Relieving/Coping Methods: making jewelry and painting, drinking hot chocolate and tea, and reading a book
- Favorite Song/Artist/TV Show/Movie: “Lights On” by Shawn Mendes; Hieu; NCIS; Kubo

Identity x Overlay & Double Exposure
This project required us to do some inward reflection. I wasn’t really sure which direction I wanted to go… I ended up looking through some of my old photo albums and decided to connect my past to my present. You will see me playing the guitar, being artistic, and being active. Growing up, my dad played the guitar. I “played” the guitar as a little kiddo, but actually learned how to play in high school. My artistic medium also changed throughout the years. In the photo below, I am using chalk; but over the years, I was into drawing, painting, coloring, and of course, photography. Lastly, I found a photo of me riding a little tricycle. During the pandemic, I got back into riding my bike around the neighborhood, so you can see the shadows of the upgraded bicycle.
Simulation x Gifs & Animation
To be completely honest, I don’t really remember much about this assignment. But I’m assuming it had something to do with creating gifs and animations (obvi). I didn’t really have any direction to go, but this was the year of the Olympics, so I wanted to do something related to that. I found some old stuffed animals and created a little “Animal Olympics” series.
Here are some linked products I used for this AVT project:
Thanks for going down memory lane and going over my AVT project from 2020. For some more creative photography ideas, take a look at this blog post.
