To create my final piece, I have used the software of Meshmixer. This final piece is my own version of John Seward Johnson II sculpture, The AWAKENING. This culture’s about how humans are drowning in their success as the earth solos the human being as the human being don’t realize with what they create they also destroying. As the result of human behaviour towards the earth, they are being drowned to the earth’s floor. The face and the hands represent the human, the green floor shows the earth’s surface, and the grey blocks show the buildings and construction. The sculpture is a message to us as we ignore the problems around the world while we live our lives normally.
Verisimilitude: Week Three – John Seward Johnson II
John Seward Johnson II is an American artist who has created over 450 sculptures that are now based worldwide. I wanted to pick John Seward Johnson II as my artist model because of his fantastic sculpting talent. In all of his work, he primarily uses different types of metal substances to create sculptures. He uses metal to form humans beings. He uses the human figures to sculptor events of the daily life of a human being. he inspires me to create my own versions of his work as it is iconic. The pictures above are some of his work. They are all human beings made out of different types of metal. John Seward Johnson II tries to show a message throughout this work as it leads to humans being not being fragile; it is to be strong like metal, which I embrace so much.

Art Machines week 2 Final
In week two the final of the project, we wanted to reflect, learn and take ideas from the issues we had from last week. So started to develop the concepts of music and vibration—the most significant problem we had from last week was that the material we used would slip down to the speaker’s sides. Also, we had issues keeping the materials inside the speaker because the materials would bounce out of the speaker into the floor to improve and develop. For those two big problems, we came up with different ways to fix them during this week. We also started developing and experimenting with various materials, plus we bought more speakers to test on.
Art Machines Week 1
Day 1
On the first day of studio class, The visual art factuality introduced us to the art machine assessment. The assessment was about creating a machine with a creative process function to produce a work of art—the assignment needed to be done in a group of 3 to 5 students. I decided to partner up with Toby and Joon. I chose to work with Toby and Joon because they created wonderful and exciting pieces of work in semester one that caught my eye. Their work truly interested me as I think they will push me to work hard and reach my goals for this assessment.
Our group shared and talked about some ideas that we could come up with for our project. Some of those ideas were to use a skateboard to create a piece of art. We chose the stake board because we all love skateboarding, and we want to relate that to our project. Another idea was to use the sun as a heat source to create a painting. Lastly, we talked about getting a human body or an object to create artwork; we thought we could attach a canvas to a human body and trace the journey and travel onto the canvas. When discussing our ideas with Dieneke at our meeting, she said that the skateboard idea was a great path to take, and she talked to us about how we could develop and experiment further on the concept. After the meeting, Toby, Joon, and I decided to pursue a different idea; We lost interest in the previous idea. The new idea was about exploring and experimenting with vibrations and music. We chose to explore vibrations because they seemed more interesting to us. The concept of bringing music into a physical form and state caught our eyes immediately.
