My 3D story was about a time I was at the beach and got attacked by a dog. I made the people in my story out of paperclips by bending them. I printed out the picture of a dog and attached it to popsicle stick. I cut into the board so the dog could move. The hardest part of my project would probably be cutting into the matte board. I had to figure out how thick it would be without the dog falling through.Â
I learned a lot through this project. I learned how to double my lines, how to shade, and how to make it look as similar to my original picture as possible. Something I love about my project is how the lines turned out. Something that was hard for me in this project would be shading. I don't love how my shading turned out but I know if I redid this project I would get it to look so much better because of what I learned.
This is my painting of the beach. I learned how to make my painting look like my picture. I had to learn how to make clouds, make the ocean look realistic, and add darker and lighter colors so it doesn't look flat. One thing that was hard for me in this project would be getting the colors right. I feel like my painting turned out darker than my picture. One thing I love about my painting would be my ocean. I really like how the texture looks and all the different colors that show up in the water.
This is my clay jar. I don't really like how this turned out. I feel like I could have spent more time glazing so it didn't look so splotchy. I also just don't like the overall design because I feel like it looks like a pumpkin. I could've spent more time finding a design I actually like and would enjoy.
This is my clay whistle. I made it look like a pool ball with the number 14 on it. I really like how the numbers turned out. However, I don't like how the glaze color turned out. It also doesn't whistle and is not a perfect sphere. But other than that I like how it turned out.
This is my clay bowl. I really like how my design turned out. This is definitely my favorite clay project that I made. However, I don't like how the glaze looks. It looks a little see through. I could have probably done one more coat to make sure that it was all covered. Other than that, I really like this bowl.
This is my watercolor painting of a whale shark. I like how this turned out. Some things I would change would be being more careful around the edges of my animal so it wouldn't go over. Another thing I would change would be to make the background better. I really like how I did the dots. Overall, I really like watercolor.
