Photoshop Peice

“Prussian Glory”

Dimensions 8x10

Computer,Photoshop,Drawing pen

I thought the eagle on the prussian coat of arms looks cool so i figure i could make it look cool and make it have more pride of its country.

First i drew the eagle on a piece of paper than it got scanned to make it a photo on a computer and then i started making it and i slowly made the eagle with each layer and then when i got the eagle done and made the blue background i added details.

In what way did you demonstrate persistence or problem solving when you faced challenges? Sometimes i would accidentally put many things in one layer so i would have to delete them all and start those parts again but i kept going with it

I never really tried photoshop and never used it so i had to learn all the things with it to look better. I like the little under wings under the bottom of the wing and the tail feathers

If i could change anything on my peice it would be all of it i did not really like how it turned out and i think i could have done something more people know like a turtle or a cool street in like dewitt.

Clay Piece

Colton Bierman

“Turtle”

8” x 8 1/2 “ x 2 1/2

Clay, Glaze

Well my inspiration is that i love turtles so i wanted a little turtle to go next to another clay turtle i had

First i pinched out the bowl part that went up to right above the head. Then i added slabs to add another layer and then added the limbs and head.

A problem i faced was during the first couple days of creating this i was not at school so i started late on the project so i had to go quick and i went quick and i got

A risk i took was trying colors and i was happy with all but one which is the bottom of the shell which was more white then i thought it would be.

I like how the head and limbs turned out and i like how they were not touching the ground so its like its swimming and also because of that i could glaze all the way around.

If i could change anything about my piece it would be the bottom color and make it more tan because then it would look more like a turtle

Metal tooling

“Mûmakil March”

9x12

Metal Sheet,Pushing tools,Colored Pencils, Paper

The source of inspiration is the Mumakil from LOTR who were giant elephants suited for war by the people of harad

My process was plan out what i'm doing and sketch it then transfer it onto a metal sheet and added details then i added details and did the background for it and hot glued it on

I did not want to do the backwash because i thought it would look ugly so i was kind of salty the entire time till i did it and it turned out good

The risk i took was doing the black wash because i really did not want to do it

What do you like the most about your finished work?

I like the background the most because it looks really nice and gives a nice size comparison on how big it is next to the mountain

If i could change anything it would be what the background is i would make it the deserts of harad where they come from.
