Amina+Abdullah+spring+2018

My name is Amina Abdullah, I am a junior Biology major with a minor in bioinformatics. The only experience I have had with art is in high school taking an Art 1 class. Something interesting about me is that I am Bilingual. My interests in art are collages and sculptures, I like that you can use so many direct types of mediums to work with.

=**Inflatable Hashtag Project**=


 * while thinking of ideas for our inflatable project we landed on making a hashtag sign. something that is relevant to both older and younger generations. I brought in two packs of garbage bags and two rolls of tape. we first started by cutting all of the bags**
 * we started by measuring out how long and wide we wanted the inflatable to be. we decided that the best structure would be 12-13 feet tall, and about 3-4 feet wide. overall I stayed after call on two Mondays and a Wednesday all util 4-5pm to work on this project. i spent a total of 18 hours working on it!! and it was a** **blast!!! coolest project ever!!!**
 * we layed out the garbage bags to measure out our hashtag.**




 * first we measure out all of our bags, and cut off the drawstrings.**


 * then taking these bags we layed them out in the desired structure that we wanted. making sure the inflatable was not too tall so it wouldn't droop and also so other student could pop their head out of the middle when its blown up.**


 * we started cut out more half bags to get the structure to look more 3D, we taped these bags together and started taping the whole inflatable together.**


 * then we started to tape the two horizontal pillars to the two vertical pillars**


 * then we started to make the second half, our plan was to break down the structure kind of like a sandwich, making indentical top and bottom half and then make side pieces and tape them all** **together.**

once this was done we started taping the sides and made them very secure by taping them inside and out.



me and brittany worked together to tape the sides and make sure that there are no unintentional holes or gaps




 * lastly we put together a pvc pipe structure to lean our inflatable against. we made small pockets to keep the structure and pipes in places. i then went in to use pac pipe glue and make sure all the extensions of the pipes were glued together and secure.**




 * here is what the final inflatable looks like. it came out amazingly!!**



here it is at the light it up event!!! so cool!!!!!
