Lauren Burmeister“Sweet Heart”Dimensions: (7.5” x 6.5“ x 0.4”)Plaster, Paint, and Yarn. The source of inspiration I got was JoJos Bizarre Adventures, JoJo is an anime that I think is really interesting. What I created was called a “Stand”, a Stand is a ghost that does everything for you and only stand users can see other stands. The process of doing my work is I had the round mold and I wrapped the plaster around my mold, once the plaster was dry I painted on the colors pink and red, the skin color was pink and for the broken hearts I used red, I used some yarn for the hair as well and the mask was all finished. I tried to use my own hairbrush to brush out the yarn to make it look like actual hair, but the yarn wasn’t going through, so to get around that problem I just used the whole yarn itself. The risk I took was just putting the yarn on without brushing it out, I didn’t know what it was going to look like. The reason why I used the brush method was because I saw someone do it on a video for there doll hair. I loved the paint job that I did on the mask. I would change the hair if I could start over, I felt rushed so I stopped when I didn’t want too.
Lauren Burmeister“African Wild Dog”Dimensions: (“9 x 12”) Paper, Hot glue, Watercolor, Pencil, Oil Pastels, and Water.
The source of Inspiration I got from was the African Wild Dog, the reason why I took inspiration from this animal is because of how endangered these animals are. There are only 1,409 of these left, they are so pretty it would be sad to watch them go extinct. The process of my work is that I did I light sketch, once I did the light sketch I went over it with hot glue to make the line art-pop. When the Hot glue dried I put oil pastels to color it when it was all colored I bent the paper to have the batik effect, I rinsed it underwater and put black watercolor on it to show the crevices that I made in the artwork. A challenge I faced is when I put the white on the eyes to make them white, but I didn’t clean it or rub the access colors off of the white and it showed up, it looked really weird. But I just kept coloring and it looked way better after. This is the first time I ever colored with Oil Pastels, so I had to figure things out with it and how the colors worked, I made a couple of mistakes but once it was on, I couldn't do anything about it. When I put the black watercolor on, I think that it made the drawing really show a Botik effect. I would change how I wanted to draw the animal, I would’ve done a different pose then what I did.

Lauren Burmeister“Chad”Dimensions: (7.5”x6.5”x0.5”)Clay & Glaze
The source of inspiration that I got is from my own imagination, I decided to make the cheeks inspired by space because I really love space, I also just decided to make the face very colorful because I think the colors are very unique to me.My process for creating this is that I first started out with a chunk of clay, I started rolling it out with a rolling pin, when it was flat enough I cut out the face shape that I wanted. When that was done I started making facial features out of clay, when I was done with that it went into the kiln. Then I got to glaze it and make it shiny, it went back into the kiln to actually make it shiny, then it was done! Parts of the face look lopsided, so I just went with it and painted glaze on it. It actually didn't come out that bad.I have never used glaze before so that was a creative risk for me, the ones where the glass melts and it would make different designs on the clay, I thought that was cool. I used it on the eyepiece, nose, and eyebrows. The most you can see it is on the nose and it looks awesome! I like the cheeks, they turned out really cool, Especially the stars. I would change some of the colors so then it would turn out somewhat colorful but not too much.

Lauren Burmeister“Turtle Room”Dimensions: (9”x 12”) Pencil & Paper
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventures is my inspiration, I know I've been using JoJo a lot for my inspirations but I am currently obsessed with the show right now, but there is a turtle room with a stand that can have a key on its back, you can go into the room by sticking your body into the gem on the key.First I started my sketch on a different piece of paper and then once that was done I got my final paper and I tried to do the exact same design on there, I am pretty happy how that turned out, but it wasn't over yet. I had too shade, so I shaded the room and it came out like that.I accidentally made the room a little smaller than I'd like it to be, so I had too work with it anyways.This whole room thing was a new thing to me, so everything was a creative risk for me too try out. I love the shading that I did for the room, and one thing that I wish that I would start over with is one of the chairs, it looks a little flat to me, especially the part you sit on.
