Abstract Plaster Sculpture
This is a sculpture I made out of plaster. I carved away at it with tools, and it is supposed to represent the emotion calm.
Watercolor Painting
This is a watercolor painting of a mountain with some grass and a river. It was made with watercolor paper, watercolors, and watercolor pencils. The hardest part was getting the shading how I wanted it on the mountain.
Board Game Project
This project will be a type of monopoly board game. It will be a communist version of monopoly. The pieces will be made in Tinkercad (a 3D printing website). I will be adding more to the rules later.
Metal Project
In this project, I will be given a piece of paper board and a piece of copper. On both pieces I will be making a design. And then placing both pieces together to complete the design. I decided to go with some flowers. The flowers will be colored using either pastels or colored pencils.
Paper Pulp Painting
This project will be a copper plate, dented to have a design in it. Then when the sketch is done on the poster board, the dented metal will be taped to it to finish the design. My sketch is some flowers.
In this project, I will be making a painting using paper pulp. What you do it blend up some paper with water and maybe some dye, pour it in a deckle, put some screens on it, then flip it onto some felt. Then you can try and get more of the water out of it, and put more pulp on it. After that, you wait for it to dry. The first blank piece of paper is my practice sheet, I made it with newspaper and blue tissue paper. The second piece of paper is my actual piece, and I made a triforce on it. I like the way it turned out, and the circle of blue around it makes it kinda look like it's "glowing".
Juxtaposition project
This project is going to be a drawing of a candy cane katydid. A box is drawn on a piece of paper and you have to draw the animal of your choice bigger than the box so that some of it sticks out of it. You need to draw background as well. Anything in the box will be colored, and anything (except the animal- or bug in my case) will be black and white. Patterns need to be present in the background, and value in the colored parts. This project was fun to do, especially with the patterns and the colors of the katydid.
Book Binding
My second project will be a bigger sketchbook with binding made of yarn. It has two end pages that I painted with acrylic. The cover has American flags all over it. The binding will be white yarn in the shapes of stars. The hardest part of this project would have to be the binding. I found myself getting confused with which place to thread the yarn. But overall I really enjoyed this project, and I'm very happy with the results.
Masks
For my first project, I will be making a mask. The mask will be hand sewn, and tie around the head instead of elastic around the ears. Overall, I really enjoyed this project and sewing all of the ties was the hardest part.
