Shoe Drawing

The shoe drawing project was probally my favorite project so far. I enjoy drawing the most out of all the different art activities. For my shoe drawing, I started off with just the pencil drawing on the right, but the rest of the page looked rather boring. I then chose to draw the same shoe, but in a different positon and this time in color. This drawing is not going into my coptic book, but will most likely be its own final piece. My next challenge is to decide what the background will be and how to bring the picture together as a whole.

Next President Collage

As you all know, election day is this Tuesday. Since most of my class mates and I cannot vote yet, we had the opportunity to express our opinions in a collage. This project could either be based on either president and his look on an important subject or the subject as a whole. In my collage, I chose Mitt Romney and his out look on the economy. Romney stated that he wanted to created more jobs for people, but have them environmental safe also. To make this collage, I started off with a white piece of paper and drew an outline of Romney. I the layed down newspaper, tissue paper, modeling paste, gloss medium, and drew footprints on the outside of the Romney face. As for the face, i included pictures of money, job articles, and people comming together as a whole to help eachother out economically. I enjoyed this project and saw an improvement

from last years collage and this years.

I'm back! My sophmore year has now began and I am back for my second art class. Last year was a blast and im looking forward for more exciting projects. Throughout this year, my goal is to try new technics and to try to improve my art.I will try to look at things in a different prospective and to acumulate my outside world into my art. I hope to see improvement in my drawings and other projects there are to come. I'm excited to make a coptic book this year since I made a circle book last year. I can't wait to hear the projects we're doing and i hope to repeat the ceramics project this year.

reflection

although it is only my freshman year and my first real art class, i have enjoyed the journey so far. im looking forward to new and exciting projects in the years to come. my favorite assignment was probally the ceramics. we got to make a bowl,cup,and plate to represent someone. i chose my aunt. she has inspired me my whole life to keep doing what i dream to. this art class has taught me to look at things from different prospectives and to interpret things different, but at the same time, be myself. im looking forward to next year and what it has to bring, but so far it has been a blast.

ceramics in process

for the past couple of weeks, we have been learning ceramics. our task is to create a functional plate, bowl, and cup to represent someone we would like to eat lunch with. i chose my aunt. she is a teacher and loves to sew, so i created a plate that has a ball of yarn and needles on it. i am currently working on an apple as my bowl. i put two bowls together by slipping and scoring them, the i cut out a hole so you can eat out of it. my next step will be adding a stem leaf and worm to make it more realistic. my cup with be a spool of thread. when all my pieces are fired(hopefully they wont blowup!), i will glaze them. this gives them the color and look to make my final piece look exciting:)

finished metal work

20 some odd students sawing away on pieces of metal is not the best sound you want to hear at 11 o'clock in the mourning. copper, silver, and bronze are the metals we used. after drawing out my future metal piece, i quickly got to work. sawing away for about a week or two was tiring, but once the metal pieces were cut out, i began to sodder and oxidize( creates a funky designing)my object.  i then put my metal on top of the firing station where i used a tool to melt the metals together. when it was all melted together, i placed my finished piece in a watery substance to give it color. this was my outcome:
