Turtle
9x8x2.5
Plaster, paint, sequins
I got my inspiration is from my grandpa. I was always with my grandpa a lot when I was younger and we always saw turtles when we went to the farm. I always liked animals and I grew up with a lot of them because we had a farm. First, I got a turtle mold. Second, I had plaster and got the plaster wet and put it on the turtle and waited for it to dry. Third, I had green paint and painted the whole turtle green. Fourth, when the paint dried and had mixed green and yellow. Fifth, I made small, thick, long, thin lines on the turtle's back to make it look like it was a real turtle. Last, I had green sequences and hot glued them to look like they where green eyes.

Bedroom
9x12
My inspiration was my bedroom. I spend a lot of time in my bedroom like sleeping, reading, homework and so one. I did a practise sketch of a bedroom first. I drew a square with a dot for my vanishing point. I started by making a bed in the room. Then I made a wooden flooring. I put a window on the wall making it look like there was mountains outside the window. When I was done making the window I made a art stand with a picture of mountains. I made a desk with a picture on it with a pause symbol making it look like the person was watching a movie or something. What I like most about my bedroom is the art stand because there is mountains and trees. What I would change is my bed because i like it looks kinda lopsided.

Mixed
Clay, and Glaze
Where I got my inspiration from was Pablo Picasso I saw some of his work and I wanted to do one like his kinda. I started by cutting out my face from the clay. Next, I started by putting on my first coat of glaze. When my first coat of glaze was done drying I started on my second coat and went to my third. When all the coats where done drying my teacher put the in the kiln to look like they were glass. I struggled with putting glaze in tiny spots and on the corners but I fixed them right away. My risks were putting the glaze on the eyes they were small kinds slim so it was hard to put the glaze on the eyes. What I learned was that it was easy to follow the video and follow it right. What I liked the most was that the colors mixed and it was bright and things. The eye color because it was ugly on the eye. I would changed it to blue if I could
