Toy Hack Reflection

If the toy that was created were to be sold, the sole purpose could be that it can hold things in the little box. The toy is still really cute, the bear looks adorable in it's pink overalls. It would be a perfect little jewelry box for younger kids, since kids often break things, and the bear is soft and unbreakable.

The thing I like most about this toy is that once I put the overalls on the bear it forced the bear to sit. A sitting bear makes it easier for the box to be held. I like that I was able to keep everything one colour, for me it would be strange if the bears hat, overalls, and box were each a different colour.

What I hate most this toy is how simple it is. I didn't really change anything to the actual structure of any of the toys, just using accessories to dress up the bear. I didn't really try to be creative in this project and it shows and I just really dislike that.

If I could redo this project I do something completely different. I would try to actually mix toys and have a better purpose. The toy would probably be nothing like the one I handed in, but I would probably try to still make it cute and not creepy.

Beginning From the Middle


Art Movie Brainstorming

Favourite Scenes 
Dead men don't wear plaid- Steven Martin coming up the stairs and when he goes on the train
Metropolis- the images of the building and the building going up in smoke
Potemkin- the bodies of people on the stairs.

Idea for Art Movie
The idea that I have is basically the man on the train is flashing through parts of his life. There won't be images of people per say, instead they will imagines that will express emotion or make an impression. I will try to make the images black and white if that's something that's possible. Some images will be some what brighter or clearer and that will stress their importance to the man. What I want it to look like is very much a man having his life flash before his eyes, because he is going to die. It won't be shown at the end, instead I want to leave the ending to be just the exploding building or something dramatic and leaves the viewer wondering what all happened.
