Despite the challenge of continuing our ¨Intro to Art" class without the presence of being at school, our 3D story at-home project was quite enjoyable. It was fun to page through ¨Golf Digest¨ magazines searching for the perfect background to feature my little golf cart. It was also fun searching for textures and prints in ¨Better Homes & Gardens¨ to serve as bases for the golf cart.

I enjoyed this project because I think it is a good skill to know the basic fundamentals of photoshop. It was fun to edit a picture that I had photographed in San Francisco. The only difficulty was deciding exactly what to edit! Our photo had a lot of potential to edit and photoshop with. I think the idea of a spot the differences book handcrafted by our class is a really clever idea. I am excited to share our book with viewers in a dentist/doctor’s waiting room, and hope that they enjoy the book as much as we did creating it.

Our watercolor painting presented a clear contrast to our acrylic paintings. Unlike acrylic, every layer in watercolor is semi-transparent. We also incorporated color schemes and my jellyfish painting used an analogous color scheme.

In our last clay project, we constructed a clay jar and used the fundamentals previously learned through the clay whistle and bowl. This project had a simpler design therefore allowing for more creativity.

Construction of our coiled bowl required a well-designed plan. The specific dimensions of the coils also brought limitations to the creativity of the bowl. In case you're not familiar with the high-calorie cereal, my coiled bowl was inspired by Lucky Charms.

This was the first three-dimensional project we experimented with in Intro to Art. Creating a clay whistle really taught me a knowledge of creating a three-dimensional object and all the details required to obtain this.

This project we experimented with color and texture, along with adding shaping to a two-dimensional project. It was enjoyable to recreate the picture in front of us with acrylic colors.

I created this hand illustration in Introduction to Studio Art. It was fun to pour time and effort into a project and have such a visual outcome. It was interesting to learn and understand the concepts of creating something three dimensional and realistic.

In this project we formed a cohesive scene with nine random lines. This project was enjoyable because there were not any boundaries other than the lines themselves. Otherwise, we were free to create whatever we wanted the lines to be.
