DISGUSTING SPRAY BOTTLE

Lily + Trey

             The goal of this project was to learn more about abstraction, and practice how to get there. This was also an opportunity to learn how to use new materials and tools that can be used in the future. 

            This project started out with an activity to remember and write down random objects, emotions, senses, and interactions. Those were then all shuffled into a generator to create random sentences. The sentence that this project was based on was “When you blow on the spray bottle you feel disgust and uncertainty.” The next step was to make twenty or more sketches of what a disgusting and unusual spray bottle may look like. To do this, the shapes of a normal spray bottle were switched out for ones usually seen as disgusting, and the normal sizes of the parts of a spray bottle were completely switched around. To continue, twenty models made out of foam were made going off of the sketches. The goal here was to make the spray bottle look very abstract and create some uncertainty. Finally, once the models were all made and the pictures were taken, the spray bottle that portrayed the most disgusting feeling and uncertainty was chosen.
