Sydney Sehr Abstract: The Art of Design





This image is of the photographer, Platon, after getting jumped by a guy in England. Platon is a foreigner to England, but was often referred to as a “bloody” foreigner. He then talks about how he was confused about him being jumped, exclaiming “why me” and a woman overhearing said “why not you.” This image brought me close to my emotions because first I felt awful seeing him all beat up, and the story behind it too is saddening as well. He now says he knows what it is to hurt after experiencing this, and that gave him empathy which is vitally important in life. 

Seeing Platon all bruised and beat up made me feel bad for him. This picture being the aftermath of him understanding what it means to be hurt, leading to his empathy is what really made me feel emotional. I have not experienced this physical harm that Platon has, but I have been hurt times before, and I believe that is what made me so emotional, and able to empathize with this image. 


My Image:




    In this image, I believe I look connected to the world because I am looking out into the city of Boston. You can see around me that people walking in the background, there are buildings with lights on where many people live, and more. In a city, it is populated with a lot of people, and very lively as there is a lot going on. Therefore, in this picture in the city, I am connected to the world.

Beginning of FMX 210

Image
     Hi! My name is Sydney Sehr and I am a student studying psychology at The University of Tampa. I am originally from Burlington Massachusetts. Some fun facts about me is that I am the youngest daughter with two older brothers, and I was a cheerleader for 11 years. Some hobbies of mine include hanging out with friends, shopping, tanning, and going to the gym. My biggest accomplishments would be my cheer competitions and getting 1st at Leagues and Regionals, and 2nd at States and New Englands, and also on another team winning All Star Worlds. Another accomplishment of mine I would say is getting into the University of Tampa! Although with accomplishments, there are always failures. Some failures of mine would be getting rejected at other universities I had in mind, not winning some big cheer competitions, and almost failing a math class in high school as it is not my strongest subject.       I have selected the FMX 210 class because I needed a Visual ...

Sehr Calligramme

  Final Caligramme: My Letter To My Future Self: Dear Future Sydney Sehr, I hope you’re doing well! I am writing this letter to you for your digital media class, how was it? I know that this class was a requirement but I hope you learned a lot from it and are able to use it in the future for jobs, or anything else? How did college go for you? We majored in psychology, and were wondering whether we wanted to focus more on developmental psychology or forensic psychology. Which did we end up choosing, or did we not choose either? Speaking of psychology, did you get any jobs that you are really interested in? Did you go more of a therapist route or a research route? Did you ever end up studying abroad, I know how badly you wanted to go to Italy or Greece. Also at school we were a founding member in the sorority Zeta Tau Alpha, so cool and I really hope that helped you out for your future opportunities and jobs. Did you end up having any leadership opportunities within the sorority, lik...

Sydney Sehr Autoscopy

Image
  Original Files Used:  Final Image: Artist Statement:  In this piece of art known as an Autoscopy, I have placed myself into what reminds me of a fairytale fairyland with lots of nature beforehand, and as well as the nature I have added. I feel like this image also represents me as I am a very outdoorsy person. Growing up, I had a fairy themed bedroom and this really sparked the inspiration for what I wanted to do. I was able to play around with tools, and colors, and really stick myself into a fairytale like I've dreamed of when I was little.
