Repetition

 

 

The direction I took for repetition was to make it simple and easy on the eyes. When I first started this project I wasn't sure what I was going to do so I just thought about it and I did it. It is made out of paper and I colored the two pink balls of paper. When I was putting it together I just thought of a cool placement for the boxes to go in. The thing I was successful in was the idea of putting the pink balls in just two boxes to make it a little more interesting than putting a pink ball in every box. The one thing I would change is I would want to make it bigger and more detailed.

Marble Drop

I worked with Shannon for the marble drop project. Our theme was under the sea. We came up with the idea just by thinking of fish and then we made it blue for the water and added some coral and some waves. And Shannon came up with the idea for the marble to drop into water. The most difficult thing to make was the first ramp at the top because it would not stay slanted how we wanted it to be. The marble traveled through one ramp thing in the beginning and then it fell into two halves of a piece of cardboard then into a bucket of water. We made our own ramp at the beginning by putting three Popsicle sticks together. The one thing I would change would be how it was painted because the blue was two different blues and didn't look right. The thing I'm most proud of is the ramp that I put together because it actually works.

Relief

The three types of relief sculptures are low relief, high relief, and sunken relief. Low relief is where part of the sculpture comes out partly from the background. High relief is where the sculpture comes out half or more than half from the background. Sunken relief is where you carve the clay. My project would be the low relief, because the only part that come up is the outline of all the fruit and the bowl. The medium I chose was clay. I glazed it at the end the colors of fruit and a bowl color. I'm most proud of how the fruit came out. It looks better than what I thought. The one thing I would change would be how the glaze turned out for the background because it didn't turn out that well.

Land Art

Land art is art art that is made of  nature things. It can be made out of dirt, sand, rocks, leaves, sticks, ect. I chose to do the smily face out of leaves because I thought it would look nice and it wouldn't be too complicated. It's just nice and simple. Something I would do next time to improve it would be add more leaves and probably make a outline of the face.

Vessel Project

 

The medium I used for this project was clay. I chose clay because I like working with it and I thought it was the best choice for what I was making. My vessel is supposed to hold a candle, it is a candle holder. So my process to making my candle holder was that I got a decent piece of clay and I smoothed it out and then I measured how big I wanted the bottom and then I measured how long I wanted the side part so it matched the bottom. Then I scored and slipped so the side would stick to the base. Then I started to cut out diamonds with a clay knife, but they didn't come out symmetrical so I put the clay back to make it smooth again so I switched to having all squares. And then when it was fired I got some purple glaze and I painted it purple.



Art Article #2

This article is about how there was a new Van Gogh painting discovered, it is a painting of a landscape. The painting was thought to be fake and it got rejected many times. Now that the painting has been looked over again the evidence says that it is actually by Van Gogh. The brush strokes and the type of paint that he used all pointed to him. There are also some letters to his brother that described the painting. In the article that I researched was about how there were unique windows found in a attic that is 140 years old. Jack Walsh was cleaning the building and he came across a large space with some stuff from another time and it reviled a attic that the windows were in. It was a door warehouse back then. It relates to the Van Gogh article because the painting was found in a attic and it was very valuable just like the windows in the attic. Lastly Jack Walsh said "You never know what you can find in someone's attic."
