Micro project 1



This map is a map of my morning walk to Art Education 252. I start off by waking up usually at 8:15 am (as the red line portrays), shower, eat breakfast, and head on my way to class. That starts by walking from my apartment down 12th avenue, all the way down to High street and I take a right down south High street at the OSU Union building. I keep walking down south High street until I get to the Wexner center where I make a left turn and head straight down west 17th avenue until I see the RPAC on my left and the OSU football stadium straight ahead. While walking to class I usually think about how im now apart of The Ohio State University and how I am finally a Buckeye and that I am finally in college! That's my morning adventure if I wake up on time. If I wake up late like say 9:15 am (as the grey line portrays). There is no shower or breakfast, I run out of myapartment hoping that I have pants on, sprint down 12th avenue. Run across High street, run through the Union building. Continue running then get to the oval where I run across that hoping not to get hit in the head with a frisbee or football. I run around Mirror lake until I see the RPAC or the stadium, and during all this, March Of The Swivel Heads, by The English Beat is playing in my head.

Golf course 1997

The piece of art was a rather large piece that was covered in trash and fake grass. Everything was layered on top of each other as to give it a feel of depth. There was fake grass near the top of the piece and the head of a putter was cut off and placed above that grass to make it look as if some one was playing golf on top of the grass. Beneath the grass was a bunch of garbage and waist. There was also a dinosaur head beneath the grass that looked like it was hiding in the shadows and eating a human finger. The denotation I thought was how high society has grown to cover up all its bad past and anything they don't want people to know about. The connotation I feel is that society has gotten so high and proud of its self that it wants to cover up all its blunders and that they try to keep everything under ground.

Hi, my name is Sean Malone

I am a Sophomore, and I am majoring in graphic design. I am nineteen and my birthday is june eighth. I have lived in Columbus, Ohio my entire life. I now live in an apartment on campus. Some things about me are that I love art, music, animals, rock climbing, ultimate frisbee, lacrosse, taekwondo, snowboarding, playing guitar and tenor saxophone, and of course OSU. My favorite bands are: Streetlight Manifesto, The Arctic Monkeys, Mustard Plug, Less than jake, Led zeppelin, No Service Project, and a bunch of other obscure bands.

I work at a taekwondo school and the best way to describe my job is simply that I teach kids to beat each other up and defend themselves. I have been doing taekwondo for fourteen years now. I have won a lot of first place trophies in both sparring and the forms competition. Also a lot of spirit awards (it is what you get if you don't place at all) and I am a third degree senior black belt. I also hope to open my own taekwondo school at some point in my life.

In the time being though I hope to be able to find a job designing t shirts and a multitude of other things. My dream job in the industry would be to work for the Hasbro toy company designing packaging boxes, toys, shirts, games, just about anything you can think of. I have already designed t shirts for the taekwondo school I work at and shirts for an autism speaks event. I have worked at the zoombezi bay for two years as a lifeguard as well. I played lacrosse until my junior year in high school, my senior year I started playing ultimate frisbee and still do.

That sums up a good majority about me. I hope to enjoy this class and everyone in it!
