Chyna Little's Beauty And The Beast

Improved Essays
In regards to Chyna Little’s Grendel art project, titled “Beauty and the Beast”, my initial impression was that the booklet was well put together and very creative. I found the project to show the main purpose of the book quite well and found it to be very interesting. My initial impression of the conversation with Chyna was also well-understood and worth while. As Chyna and I conversed, she showed a great deal of interest in showing me each and every detail of the book and gave me a good reasoning for why she chose each section. Chyna was also patient with all my questions and had logical answers for each one, along with giving me her own honest opinion on her booklet with the effort placed into it and the weaknesses she felt should be explained. The strengths that go along with this project, as far as I could see, were that Chyna had a clearly thought out collage scheme on each page, she had creative ideas that pull on your interest, and she had a nice use of all different types of artistic, hand-made add ons to make the project even better. The visuals used in the project that played along with making the project so well put together are the use of the inside flaps that show the consequences of Grendel’s actions, the pop-up “action figures”, and the humor added during the …show more content…
This secret compartment was nicely done and it shows how everything comes together to only hurt the beautiful things and how it is pretty much all on Grendel’s behalf. As far as learning something, this booklet definitely gave me a better perspective on the true beauty of the book and what Grendel really missed when hurting all the things he could have loved. To end my peer response, I do not believe anything else could have been added to the secret compartment to improve the work done and Chyna overall did a very nice job on the Grendel art

    Peaceful Place Collage This collage-making process was new to me but very fun to do. I really liked how you could layer as many pieces of paper as you want and make so many pieces look seamless enough to look like one piece of paper. For this Peaceful Place collage, I used cardstock paper, fabric material, magazine paper, marble paper, and wood paper to get a variety of textures and colors. I used a layering technique by layering pieces of paper, making them blend together as if they were paint.…

    This current semester I am enrolled in Professor Zack’s Media Production I class. Our first project of the semester was a silent film that would focus on someone or something involving a lock and a key while expressing an emotion. This project wasn’t a solo project, but instead involved working with one other person. The lock and key could be metaphoric or literal and from that concept we had to tell a story in twelve to fifteen shots. Our idea was to convey a young musician finding the right “key” on his guitar and “unlock” the excitement (which was our assigned emotion) inside of him.…

    A writing experience that has stood out the most for me was when I was a sophomore in High School. There was a girl in my class who I wasn't so fond of who one day decided to announce to everyone that she had begun to write her own stories. She showed everyone pieces of her writings expecting to get nothing but compliments and be to deemed the class writer, but when she finally showed me her work I cringed at how deplorable it was. The stories had no clear perspective of whether it was written in first person or third person view, some of the simplest of words were spelled wrong, and many words were used in the wrong context. The class didn't seem to care for her stories so they just gave standard responses with no words for…
