Hi y'all, my name is Magdalena Bellinger and I am pursuing a double major in kinesiology and biology. I have taken art classes in high school and have done a couple pottery classes, but don't have any other real experience. My mother is an illustrator so I've always been interested in drawing and other medias. Something interesting about me is that I have a twin.



The lines are all going in the same direction towards the center and have the same width. The lines have different weight. They are less at the bottom and get heavier as they go farther up. They are all directed from left to right. The lines are in the same direction mostly, some go in different directions or backwards and curve. The lines have slightly different weight and they get more dense when they get closer together. The lines all have the same weight and are dense straight lines that go into the same direction. The lines roughly are directed up and down. They vary in weight and are not very dense. These lines are all directed in the same direction, yet the weight varies within each separate line. They have an even density until the weight changes creating more intensity in spots. The density varies from when the lines are broken or not. The weights of the lines depend on the color. They are all flowing in the same direction. The lines become more dense as more intersect. They move in generally a vertical direction and vary slightly in weight. The lines move in generally the same direction, yet their density dictates the pattern created. Their weight also changes with the pattern. The lines have a very heavy weight and move in the exact same direction.



This piece by Sophie Lambert utilizes contour lines to allow us to see the body in a variety of motions and different stances.

Garbage bag rough sketche. These sketches are mostly animals and would be interesting to see as huge inflatable art pieces. They have height and large mass, but some might be too linear.

My team decided on a camera because it is usually small and hard. a camera usually takes pictures and creates the art, but it will now be the actual art piece. This is a rough sketch of the different aspects it will have as well as the scale that will be created.

This is a model of the body of the camera as well as the lens. They were made to make sure the measurements looked to scale and were proportionate for the larger structure. My group and I spent time cutting all the bags so that they would be split open and use more surface area for both the top and bottom pieces of the button. We cut along two of the seems to split the trash bags I brought. My team member and i created the button at the top of the camera by taking a smaller trash bag and taping it into the hole on the top piece of the camera. We had to measure and cut the whole as well as seal it to the top piece. This is just one side of the of the camera that will be used as the base. We had six large trash bags as well as two smaller ones to make up the bottom of the camera. They were taped on each side to secure any holes. This is the paper box structure that we worked off of when creating the camera. This helped when we had to stay after and tape the sides finally together. We had to fold them certain ways to fit each piece together and then the top at the end. These are the sheets that Sam and I split that were made into the different panels of the camera like the back and front piece. The boys assembled and we all helped tape. We split and taped bags to make the rim of the lens. We made the rim by calculating the circumference and then converting to feet then figuring out how many bags we needed. We made it 2ft out and split all the bags to fit. We cut and measured the lens according to the rim that we had already made. (The rim was modeled after the circumference of the circle) We came for an extra day to cut out and assemble the lens where we cute it and then taped it onto another sheet then continued to cut the edges. We measured everything and made sure it was proportionate to the model. We first cut out a perfect 4X4 ft circle by taping a dry erase marker to a tape ruler and moving around the center and then went back and cut the line. This is where we cut out the black lens and were taping it on after blowing it up. We worked together to tape it on in roughly a circle that fit on the front part. We continued to cut and tape and measure out the new black pieces. This is the final product after blowing it up and adding a black lens, black scree, and black flash piece at the top. It is about 12 ft long and 7 ft high.
