3D

This has been an odd 3D design class. I began the semester not even in the class, after coming back and doing two or three projects I had to leave again. Even in the short time that I was in the studio, I think I grew and improved as an artists. I learned more new techniques that helped me grow as an artist. I now know how use the cricket machine to make beautiful relief pieces, and how to create clay without hating the way it makes my hands feel. My art shows that I grew because I made new relief pieces and and a clay piece that I love.

The most challenging thing about this course is the obvious: Distance Learning. This course was hard to do while not in the studio. Art is my favorite class and I love to stay after school and keep working on it after class, but with distance learning I could not do this and it was much harder. I didn't realize how much I took for granted all the materials we have in the studio at school, because without them, me and my art struggled. The hardest thing for my had distance learning not occurred, probably would have been the clay. I hate the way clay makes my hands feel which is why I din't take the class in the first place. But after getting it in the kiln and painting it, it ended up being my favorite piece.

The thing I am most proud of in the course is my painted clay sculpture. Like I said, I HATED clay, but this project helped me begin to like it and enjoy the art of creating with clay. Even when we started these projects, I enjoyed making the body and attaching the limbs, I thought it was cool to create something from something else. This project took the most time and ended up being the most rewarding because I love the way it turned out. I am most proud of my turtle clay sculpture because of this.

My work throughout this course helps to illustrate to illustrate my strengths and weaknesses as an artist because it shows what I already knew. The relief project which was the most 2 dimensional was what I excelled in, and the projects which were more 3 dimensional are the ones I struggled with more. You can see this as my weakness in the Covid-19 project, I had such a hard time painting onto to 3 Dimensional can. This course showed my strength as the 2 dimensional artwork and my weakness as the work that was more 3 dimensional.
