Final Essay
Kelsey Petty
CVW final essay
Form my final I’ve decided to create a new Coca Cola bottle. I was going to do the final on a Coca Cola add, but then I found I really liked the idea of making my own bottle. Here at Plymouth I am a marketing major so I am always looking at products to see how I can make them better.
When I came across the idea of doing a coke bottle I was very excited. I have many ideas flowing through my head. Even though it is complete I still feel like there are so many more idea that I could do with the coke bottle.
I didn’t want to change the bottle too much because people recognize coke. Coke is known all over the world. If I had changed the bottle too much so that people didn’t recognize it then It would not be good for the coca cola market.
I decided to keep the colors and make the bottle more plastic looking. We know that companies all over are going “green” so I decided to make a bottle like Poland Springs where they use less plastic so it is better for the environment. I then thought of what else I could do to make the bottle more interesting. Since all flavors of coke are the same dark brown color we love, I decided to make the bottle that color instead of clear.
Working on this project was very interesting and I had fun doing it. It was fun creating the new bottles of coke in photo shop. It wasn’t one of those finals that I dreaded doing. Overall I enjoyed the class and the concepts that we learned.

What is True? How we know what we know?
Aristotle believed that, by nature, people have a desire to know. We want to know why things happen and how. Sometimes we do not ever find out the solution, but by nature we are curious and want to find out. When we look at an image we either know what it is or do not know.
How do we know what we know? My slide show is on September 11Th 2001. This falls down in history as the most tragic terrorist attack on America. We know when we see the pictures that it is true. The majority of the people living in the United State were alive when this happened, as it was only 8 years ago. When someone even says 9/11 and image will instatly pop into your head. It is a mental image we will never forget. When people see my slide show they instantly know what it is. There are no questions needed about when this happened or where. The only question standing is why? We may never find out why this happened to us, but we do know it happened.

Pimp, Hack, Mod
I'm not sure if these are correct...
PIMP: pimpant smart, sparkish; perh. akin to piper to pipe, formerly also, to excel. Cf. Pipe.] One who provides gratification for the lust of others; a procurer; a pander. --Swift.
HACK : a person, as an artist or writer, who exploits, for money, his or her creative ability or training in the production of dull, unimaginative, and trite work; one who produces banal and mediocre work in the hope of gaining commercial success in the arts: As a painter, he was little more than a hack.
MOD: a person who is in the vanguard in style, dress, etc.

Feldman's Model
This creation is very dark and gloomy. It is in a dark brown frame. It looks like it is a paper cut out of a castle or a palace. It seems to be cut out of a very pale, pink, fragile paper. There is a boarder around the palace that seems as though it might be felt or some scruffy material. It makes the scene look like it is very cold and dark outside. Behind this palace lie many trees which look very realistic. The palace seems as if it is all alone in the dark woods.
There are many different pieces to this creation. It seems to be almost perfectly symmetrical. Nothing seems out of place or out of the ordinary. It is very organized and definitely thought through. Everything seemed to be put where it is for a reason. I am not quite sure what the reason is.
I believe that this may be something that Cornell had seen before. It is so detailed that I think I would be real. I could be wrong, it could be a place he just made up or maybe he even dreamt it. I see is as an old private school, far away from civilization. It seems to be a cold wintery place where no one wants to be. It is somewhere that I would not want to be.
I personaly am not a huge fan or the art work. To me it is way too dull. If it were something that I would find appealing it would need a lot of color and a lot of fun bright things. This seems to dark and too lonely for me. It also seems very cold and I do not like the cold. If it were a warm sunset type of art I would be fonder of it.

Ekstasis
Confused and unsure of what I am looking at. I take a few minutes to observe what this large creation might be. I stood under this large, unknown object and wondered where it had come from. The creation that stood in front of me was made of many different things, which made it even harder to figure out what it might be.
Staring down at the ground, confused and unaware, I stare at these large metal wheels. The wheels were shaped like old wagon wheels, except they were not wooden. The wheels were very thick and flat around the outside. There were only two wheels, which just lead me to be more confused on how this creation works. Looking up from the wheels I came across a large chain. The chain was very similar to a chain on a bicycle. Thicker in size, the chain ran from the spokes of the wheels, all the way to the top of this large wooden masterpiece. I had never seen anything like it, it was huge. I looked up and it seemed to be like a large wooden missile, with wheels. What could this possibly be? As I examined this large wooden shape, I noticed there was a large handle. This handle was just there, it didn’t move anything. The handle was connected to the side of the “wooden missile.” It was thick green steel that lead up to a huge, red, wooden handle. The handle looked like it was pulled off a vice, but much larger. The handle did not do anything. It did not move. I thought I had seen it all, but I was wrong. At the back of this creation there was an extremely large belt-type object attached to it. It was the exact same material as the belt that I was wearing, but it was much larger in size and did not connect like a belt. It wasn’t even tied together; it was just attached to the back of this “thing.”
A million thoughts were running through my mind. Why is this here? Is it broken? Am I missing something? Where did this come from? Still none of my questions were answered. I stood there for minutes in awe, lost and confused. I don’t think there is an answer to what this may be, and I don’t think I will ever know what it was that I saw that day.
