The goal for this project was to take 9 random lines and create one whole picture. I took this project line by line. First I saw a shoe. Then I noticed that I could use half a line for a line on a hand. In the beginning I didn't think I would be able to complete it. In the end I was able to figure something out and I am happy how it turned out.
The goal for this project was to draw a hand holding a tool and then shade it. I started this project by making dots and connecting them together. The straight lines were easier so I started with the paint brush. Once I drew the hand I started shading the hand then the fingers and so on. The last thing I shaded was the bracelet on my wrist. The drawing of the hand was definitely easier then the shading part for me. I was surprised when I was done tho that it actually turned out okay because I cannot draw. So I am happy with how it turned out.Â
The goal of this project was to use paint and paint shapes of colors to make it look like a landscape. I started the project by taking a pencil and outlining the landscape based on the photo. After that I started by painting the furthest object with would be the sky. I started with the light blue then added some white towards the end making it lighter as you go down. Then I added the white and blended it making the clouds. After the sky I did the Ocean and then the rocks, bushes, grass, tress and sidewalk. The easiest part for me was probably color matching with my reference photo. The hardest part for me was blending the colors once of the canvas and using the right brush technique but the small little landscapes we did before with the video really help me. In the end I was happy with my painting and surprised how it turned out.
The goal of this project was to use clay to build a lantern. I first started by rolling out a piece of clay and using things to press some design into the clay. After that I used a template to cut out 4 sides a bottom and a top. After that I used a cutter to cut all the sides and the base and scoured it and added slip to stick it all together. Then make the top and legs and add holes. After that it was fired and then I picked out a glaze and did 3 layers. Then it was fired again and finished. The easiest part for me was probably rolling out the clay and doing the designs. The hardest part was definitely assembling it with the scoring and slip. But I really liked the color I picked and how it turned out.
The goal for this project was to use clay coils that were thick to combine around a bowl base and create a designed bowl. I like the design that I choose to do for my bowl also the color I picked I think it looks really good. The easiest part of this project for me was mapping out and drawing the design of the bowl on the paper towel wrapped around the metal bowl. The hardest part would be putting the coils on and blending them with each other and making it smooth. It was hard and in the end some of it came out not even but even then I think it still turned out really good.
The goal for this project was to make a working whistle out of clay then turn it into whatever you wanted. First you take the clay and form the whistle. After you do that you make other shapes or things out of clay and attach it to the whistle base to make your desired object. That hardest part of this project was definitely forming the whistle base and making it work. The Fun part for me was probably making the nose hat and hair to make it a smurf. I wouldn't say there was an easy part because it was all kinda challenging to make the right shapes. Even the glaze was hard trying not to get it on the other parts especially the face with the eyes and mouth. I really liked how it turned out.
The goal for this project was to create a picture of an animal underwater or a shell using Watercolor. The color scheme I picked was analogous. I started by tracing the shell and coral on the paper with a pencil. Then I started with the background covering it all in water but the shell. After that I took different colors and put it on the background with the water to make a pretty background. Then I started with the first layer and water colored each coral one full of a different color. I did the same thing with the shell using magenta. Then I started adding more layers of water color to get different shades until I got the final result. The easiest part of this assignment was doing the background. I would say the most challenging was the shell and getting all the shades of colors and shadows on it. Overall I really enjoyed this project and the way mine turned out.
The goal of this project was to create an image of an insect using oil pastels. I first started with the background by adding different colors of blue and blending it with my fingers. This is when I added the white in the corner and blended it with the blue. After I did the background leaving out the flower and butterfly I then started the wings of the butterfly. After I did the petals of the flower then the inside of the flower. After that the majority of it was finished but I went back in and added some final details like using a paint pen for the eye of the butterfly and a felt pen for all the legs. The easiest part for me was the background. The hardest part was the flower specifically the inside of it trying to get that texture. In the end I really like how it turned out.
The goal of this project was to create a stamp of a bird by carving it. After I finished carving the bird I used black ink to test it and see what other things I did not want and for me to remove them. After this I was to create 5 prints of the bird using different color ink and paper. They all had to be different designs as well. I picked to do a clean print, a double where you print it on the same paper twice, using a different color ink for the second time and waiting for the first layer to dry first. Another one I did was with a water color background. I painted water all on the white paper then added colors to it to make the pretty background. Then I let it dry and printed the bird on top of it. Another one was on a special Banana paper. The last one I did which I think was the hardest was the rainbow one on the bottom. I had to get it just right when applying more ink to the stamp or else it would look off and lose the ombre effect. Overall I really enjoyed this project and it was a nice way to wrap up the year. My favorite print to turn out was the ombre one even if it was hard and I did multiple attemps I liked how it turned out. I really liked this project.
