Semester Final; 3D Art

In 3D art we did mostly clay. I learned how to wheel throw and how to add a trimmed foot. I had a lot of fun with wheel throwing. I also really liked glazing and painting the final projects. Next semester I would like to continue using clay, but maybe doing some sculptures with other material. My least favorite project was the hump and slump. Maybe it's because I did terrible on mine but I didn't enjoy making them at all. My favorite project was the slab vessel. I liked it because you could do anything you wanted to. Some people did a box, or a different type of container. Overall, I liked most of the projects we have done. I really like glazing and splatter painting with glaze.

Wheel Throwing

1.) These were my wheel throwing pieces. Just used clay, and some clay tools. 

2.) I used a lot of different colors... I tried some new things as well.

3.) I learned how to do a trimmed foot

4.) I am most proud of my glazing jobs on all of them. 

5.) I am least proud of one of the second one because the handle came off. :(

Thanks Shelby for photo bombing. 

Semester Test Final; Intro To Art

I learned a lot this first semester. From the basics to expressing myself through art. I learned about shading and about value and form. My favorite project was the zentangle, and blobs. I like them both because they are both a doodle type of art. I also did enjoy the pastel but I would of liked to do a more free-hand drawing with pastels. My least favorite project was the basquiat, it was fun but I didn't just enjoy is as much as some of the other projects. I did like the idea of expressing yourself through art with that project.  I would like to work with sketching next semester and more free hand with different materials. Such as paint, pastel, etc. I don't like having a subject and looking at it and having to draw it. I overall have liked most of the projects we have done in this class. They all have been fun and some more challenging than others.

Slab

1.) Its a slab, and you have to take a giant slab of clay and make something out of it. I used clay, a water bottle, a plastic bag, and a needle tool. There is a lid on the table next to the slab.
2.) I have different colors, and the texture is different. The top is point.
3.) I learned on how to add a lid
4.) I am most proud of the quality of the piece
5.) I am least proud of the paint job

Noah likes to be in pictures.

Multilayer

1.) This was a wheel thrown piece. 

2.) I used my sponge idea with glaze and it created a really cool color. The texture is smooth 

3.) I learned more about my new sponge idea. I also learned which colors go better together. 

4.) I am most proud of how good it looks and my glaze jobs. 

5.) I am least proud of the bottom because it is kind of jagged. 

Nice Noah... nice. :P

Balloon animals

1.) These are miniature animals. I just used clay. I used a needle tool and some cutting utensils.
(Bunny and pig)
2.) Color. They are both very colorful
3.) I learned about how to make sure that pieces stick together.
4.) I am most proud of my bunny
5.) I am least proud of my pig.

P.S. A special thanks goes to Noah for being the best photo bomber.

Slump

1. I used clay, and acrylic paint. I used a plate to create the slump effect.
2.) Color and texture. I had lots of color.
3.) I learned a new way of painting. I used a sponge and it made a cool texture. I used it for some of my other projects too. Its a new trend :)
4.) I am most proud of the painting job and my new idea
5.) I am least proud of the quality of the slump itself





p.s. Thank you Noah for photo bombing. :)

Basquiat Collage

1. I used feathers, paint, sticks, marker, and beads
2. The texture is bumpy, the contrast between the colors are a mix of a few bright colors than some darker colors.
3. I learned how to express myself through this art project

4. The colors, and the song lyrics.
5. I didn't think that the feathers were a good touch, I wish I would of used more layers.
6. There is dreaming involved, and there was also song lyrics involved.

Pastel

1. I used a pencil and the pastels 

2. I am most proud of my pumpkin 

3. I am least proud of my banana and its color 

4. If I could improve on something it would be my banana and the background 

Snake!

1.) I used a sketch board.
2.) The thing I am proud of is the outline of the snake, and how good it looks.
3.) The thing I am NOT proud of is the background, and I wish I could of thought of something more cool to do.

Shaded Blobs

These are shaded blobs. I used pencil. There is shading, value, and form. I learned about how to shade and what works with shading and what doesn't. I'm most proud of the shading and how 3D they look. I'm least proud of how they are not quite even size wise.

3D ART

I used clay, and glaze. I learned about how wide it should be for it to actually look good. I incorprated different textures. I am proud of the heart, but I am not proud of the different textures or the glaze job. 

I used glaze and clay. I learned about different designs you could use to decorate you're figurines. 

I am proud of my cute polka dots. 

I incorprated different colors 

I learned about how to make sure you don't have any air bubbles because if you do, it could explode.
I am proud of my glazing. I am not proud of the quality of the pinch pots. I used clay, and glaze.

Zentangle
What I learned: I learned what zentangle actually means.
What tools I used: Markers, and for my black and white a sharpie and a pencil
What I liked about this project: I liked this project because I doodle a lot anyways and I loved getting new ideas.

 Zentangle.
