For my hand drawing I decided to hold a knife. I picked this item because I typically carry one everyday and it is a useful tool for all kinds of situations. This was a very fun project to due because I was able to learn how to scale my drawing to the picture I had for reference.
For my bug project I chose to paint a praying mantis. This is one of my favorite insects. It is sitting on a leaf. I painted the border blue.
For my clay jar I made a nothing jar. I originally made a rhino as my jar but the head exploded when it was fired. For the outside of the jar I made lines going up and down the entire side. I put small squares on top for grip. I used a light blue paint for the lid and a dark blue for the actual jar.
For my clay bowl I tried to design it off of a spiders web. I painted it a purple because I didn't want it to be a spiders web just have the design of one. I enjoyed making this bowl more than I did the jar. It was fun using the coils to create the bowl.
For my clay whistle I made one of the angry birds. I created an angry bird because 2 other people made characters from angry birds. To create this brid I made the base whistle and then created a beak and attached it. After that I put the eyes and feathers on. I then painted it and it was completed.
For my water color picture I chose to do a whale. I painted it different shades of blue in a monochromatic color scheme. It was a very fun project that allowed me to learn a new painting form.
This stamp is of a Harpy Eagle. I chose to make this the bird because I saw a YouTube video of one and thought it was a really cool animal. I like carving out the bird on the stamp and enjoyed pressing it on paper. This is the project I am most proud of so far this year and really like what I did with it.
