Unsung Heroes Project

1. My five potential people/groups for this project are:

• Nikola Tesla - inventor and competitor of Thomas Edison, a great scientist whose level of fame I wish to one day reach.
• My mother, father, and little brother - for making the the person I am today (mainly with respects to academic, quirkyness, and argumentative skills)
• My grandparents - to taking care of me during those long summer days in my youth, subtly teaching me lessons in patience (through fishing) and craftiness (through
• Ishiroh Honda - director of the first Godzilla movies, of which I am a long-time fan
• Patek Philippe & Co. - the company credited with making the first wristwatch, my personal appearance wouln't be complete without my cherished wristwatches

2. Nikola Tesla,

The mediums which I would like to utilize for this project are:

• Printmaking/Silkscreening - Materials: screen, squeegee, screen printing ink, paper/poster/printing surface, and, if possible, emulsion and transparencies
• Flipbook - Materials: photoshop or illustrator, pencils/pens and paper, image scanner, and printing paper

For my group's (me and aaron) final product, we will probably be producing (though photoshop) silkscreen designs of two (Tesla and Marconi) of our unsung heroes (either individual or group shots...). We will attempt to successfully apply emulson to oursilkscreen to accurately imprint our design(s) on our screens. We will also try to incorporate lights and sounds into our final piece. A final video will be produced to present on our blogs.
