final


For my rhino I used what i learned from my boat I made out of plaster.

if i could do this over i would go slower and take my time with it.

the medium I likes working with the most was plaster and clay. I used it the most and it is what I was best with.

the project I learned the most from was the relief project. I used a similar technique with the plaster project.

a technique I used well was sculpting an relief carving. I had the most fun doing those projects.


plaster

for the plaster peace i made a tablet with a carving with a wolf on it. the part i had a hard time trouble with was making small details in the plaster.

house

I made a cardboard house out of cardboard. I wanted it to be collapsible so its easier to carry so i made each wall separately and I connected each with a wire ring I made.

free

I made a knight's helmet out of a soda can that I got. first i sanded the paint from the outside of the can to make it grey and more like a helmet. the n i made eyes an cut the bottom to make it have more of a different shape. Then I got another can and made an iron cross like on real knights helmets.

rhino

I loved making this my favorite part is the scar it was accidental at first but me and my associates thought it gave it personality

foam

 I wasn't looking for a shape more a design




relief

I chose a beetle frozen in a fossiel

sticky situation

I wanted this to look like a bee hive. I wanted it to look like it was repeated with slight differences to relate to bees. The insides of the combes could be more detailed to add depth.

mixed media


I thought about a simple design the first thing I thought of was a teddy bear because they are made of circles. I made the idea unique by adding a bubbles in the background. The mediums I used were tissue and acrylic paint. A challenge was making the bear as symmetrical as possible.

close up and personal

I made the piece unique by adding the colorful background. I thought of it because I saw a spider.
I learned more about blending and got more familiar with it over time.
I chose chalk pastel because it would show up brighter.

Radiation

Some solutions I thought of were black hole, deep sea life, sun or stars, sound, and ferrofluid 
Yes the mini lessons about charcoal were helpful
the contrast in the art was the black and white
the technique I used was charcoal 
I used charcoal because it would show the most contrast
No I hade no risks with this art project
It was a good experience to use another medium than pencil
