Alphabet Art

"Explore"         Paula Medina

For the alphabet art project, I chose the word "explore." Explore is probably my favorite word as of now. I like exploring the world in order to learn more about life and myself.

I wanted to use a variety of objects taken at different locations and angles to instill a theme of exploration. For E, I used the perpendicular straight lines on the ceiling of the computer room. I also wanted to use this picture since it was a capitalized E. For the letter X, I took a picture of a fence, with the constant crossing of wires. For P, I noticed the intricate design of the gate in front of someone's house. In class, I noticed the shape of an L under the desks. For O, my family keeps a billiard ball inside the glass closet. R was a tricky letter to find, but by looking a little closer, I noticed my mother's orchid plant grew in the shape of an R. Lastly, during our sixth photo walk, someone's water hose was surprisingly in the shape of an E.

This project was definitely very interesting and fun to do, and I definitely want to do another one. It's great to put them together and see pictures unfold into words.
