Final Project- Emma Moyle

 (the glasses one is the cover...)

Emma Moyle is excited to show the world what she can do when she has access to a camera and cereal. This book is filled with a plethora of Froot Loops photos. The artist hopes these pictures will open your mind to the many ways you can see common things in your everyday life. She is hoping that as you turn through the pages, your inner artist will show itself and consider unique ways that you could capture images and objects. Emma’s excitement and enthusiasm for her work is inspiring not only because it portrays the practiced focus of a college freshman, but also because she never considered herself an artist. She struggled through her first photography class trying in vain to grasp the seemingly simple concepts her instructor was teaching her. Although she was ready to throw in the towel, the idea from her professor to do cereal art for her final project was mind blowing. Emma didn’t think it would be possible to manipulate something as common as cereal into images and scenes that her eyes would be drawn to. Little did she know the satisfaction she would discover from breaking down the cereal and organizing it into different shapes and structures. A great deal of time was spent here as she stacked the froot loops and fixed the venue. Finding new angles to capture the likeness of the cereal and experimenting with different lights was quite a task, but eventually she found her rhythm and the overall flow of work that was born was an exciting experience. Emma realized that cereal was not a very common medium for artistic structures and picture destinations, but she had a few ideas and the ability to see them through to action.  The sheer amount of possibilities that came to mind when she imagined “cereal landscapes and structures” was astounding. Emma hopes that, as you peruse her book, you will be inspired to follow in her footsteps and try something new with a skill you have recently developed. You may even be inspired to crush up your own cereal. The possibilities are limitless, and so is your mind.
