This was probably my favorite artwork that made this semester. I choose this one because I took a lot of time doing this project and it turned out really nice. I like how it displays variety, color, proportion, and much more. I like how it can be viewed from two different sides and see a whole new part of the artwork. If I got a chance to redo one of my artworks this would be the one. I dislike how it is simple and not unique. If I got to redo it I would change it all or add something to make it more interesting to look at. I maybe even would make the dots bigger so they would blend in together. On thing that I learned this semester in art was while doing this artwork. I learned that not everything works out or goes a planned and sometimes you have to make and use a plan B. One reason I learned this is because I had messed up measuring and made it to small but I tried again and it worked out great until it ran short at on spot. I made a plan B and added a little fabric to that particular spot. I also was going to sew the outfit together but it was not working after about the 15th try I gave up and hot glued it instead which turn our really good. I also was going to add hair and a face but running out of time I decided to make something of it's meaning without a face or hair. I can use this in life to keep going even when you fail because sometimes all it takes is a change in direction.
One thing I wish we could have tried out this semester is wood carving. I would have love to try that out and see what I could make out of it. I thought of this idea because I had fun using wooden popsicle stick and would have wanted to see what I could do with a block of wood.

My artwork looks is in a shape of a K to represent my first or my last name that both start with a K. It is a structure that painted yellow to represent my favorite color. My favorite color is pure yellow because it makes me happy. The K also has little pieces of paper of drawing that I made to represent things about me. One is a music note to represent that I like music. Another is a book to represent that I like reading books. A dancer shoe, volleyball, and softball to represent the sport I love to play. Another of an oven mitt to represent cooking and baking. Another with an orange circle inside of a no no sign to represent the hate I have for oranges. A chicken enchiladas to represent y favorite food. A canvas with a bunch of different art stuff to represent my love for any type of art. To create my artwork I uses a piece of paper to draw the template. Then I traced that twice on two different pieces of task board and cut them out. I then glued one side of a stack of dixie cups to one piece of the task board then I glued the other side of the dixie cups to the other piece of task board. I then covered all that with pieces of paper tape. Then I painted it with a thick type of white paint. After that I painted it all pure yellow. I then made the little paper drawings and taped them on to the artwork. I made my artwork to represent the sports, hobbies, and things that I like or dislike. I did this to express my personality for people to get me to know me a little better by just looking at my artwork. My goals of this artwork was to show a little bit about me. Another goal I had was to get my structure to stand and be neat. I also wanted all the piece to go well together and have it a way to show a little bit of my personality. I think my artwork turned out great overall. think I could have added more if I had time to show more of my personality. I also think I could have made the pictures just a little bit bigger to show the details of them more. I am overall though satisfied with the turnout. Here is a slideshow of pictures that I took throughout the process of making this artwork.
Over the past week I have been working on my identity artwork. I have been sketching and exploring different ways to make my art. I have also been engaging in new techniques and persistently working on it. It has been going good so far and I hope all will still be well in the future. I hope my artwork shows my personality like favorite sports, hobbies, food, and things I dislike. I am proud of how it is turning out and I hope it turns out as great as I would like it if not better.
This week we have been working on working on making a plan to make a sculpture that shows our identity. We have been working on answering questions about us to find things we may want to include in this artwork. Doing this we have been observing other peoples artworks to find inspiration and ideas. While doing this it helps us to understand different artworks of many different artist. For my plan I plan to use boards to cut out a K and then use dixie cups for the inside and paper tape on the outside. I then will use this thick white paint and then paint it yellow. I plan to draw and tape pictures that represent me on the letter. My artwork is a dancer in a turning position. The right leg is behind the figure at about 110 degrees and the other foot is straight underneath the figure. The left arm is is rounded in front of the figures body and the right arm is is rounded above the figures head. The figure is wearing a red leotard underneath a really poofy red tutu. I created my artwork using wire to make a structure then building the body up using tin foil. After that I used paper towels and modge podge to smooth the figure out. I then used peach paint to give the skin color. I then used red fabric and sewed a leotard to fit the figure. I then used red tool and a piece of elastic to tie the tool on and make a tutu. The big idea behind my artwork is to show my 11 years of dancing that I did and the many more years I plan to do in the future. I also wanted to show how dance is always stereotyped as not hard, not a sport, and much more. I showed this by putting no face on my figure. My goals for my artwork were to show dance and a position we turn in. Another goal was to get the dancer to be able to be hung on a string so it could turn like an actual dancer in the breeze. Overall I think my artwork turned out great. I like how the outfit added color and how it really show what a dancer looks like.
Over the past week I have been working on making a clay bowl. I first started with a block of clay. I had no clue what I was going to turn it into. I started forming it into a bowl shape until I found a design of bowl that I liked. I tried forming it but struggled to get the right shape and form while doing this process. Once I was satisfied with what I had and did not want to touch it no more I set it in a place to dry. Then after it dried it was bisqued fired and then was set out to be glazed. I then picked my colors of glaze "Mosaic Blue" and "Sassy Yellow". I chose to a midnight sky look with "Mosaic Blue" background with "Sassy Yellow" stars. After that it was fired again and ended with my final product. I was so happy to see the "Sassy Yellow" stars show up on the dark "Mosaic Blue" sky. Overall it turned out really nice but would have been better if I had smoothed the edges out more. Through this process I developed craft by trying materials that I was not very familiar with. I also engaged and persist through my mistake by making them into something new.
Over the past couple of days we have been learning about figure sculpture. As a class we have been working on sketching and exploring new ideas that we can put into this next artwork. We have been looking at not only art worlds in the past but also in the present. For this artwork I plan to do a figure sculpture of a dancer. I choose to do a dancer to represent part of me for I have just finished my 11th year of dance and plan to continue in my future. I choose to do my sculpture pose as a dancer in a turning position. I choose this because I decided that I could make it a hanging art so when the wind catches it it will turn like an actual dance. I plan to do this by starting with wire and doing a paper mache sculpture and then using paint to give it color and use fabric to make a dance uniform that my figure can wear. This is the plan so far and I hope that it turns out to be just as good as it looks in my head.
Here is a picture of the progress I have so far on this artwork. It is a wire base that I made the next step is to put the tinfoil on. It may not look like much now but hopefully it will look amazing later.
My artwork that I have made looks like a cool rainbow spiral sculpture. It has many different colors, sizes, and dimensions. Each time the squares go through the rainbow they go through the rainbow again but with different sizes of squares. It is tall and goes from big to small using square structures to stack it up. I created my artwork by cutting popsicle sticks to size and then painting them with rainbow colors of tempra paint. I then glued the same color and sized sticks in square structures. The took the same sized squares and put them into a rainbow pattern and glued them at different angle and degrees to make a cool spiral project. The big idea behind my artwork is to show non-representational art in a certain way or form and that is also one of my goals for this artwork. Other goals would be to show color, proportion, variety, size, and pattern. I overall think this artwork turned out great and it is hands down my favorite artwork I did this year so far.
My architecture artwork was made out of popsicle sticks. It is a basic square with a porch with roof on top. There is also a loft on the house inside That is open for the views. I created this artwork by using popsicle sticks and lining them up to the right side. I then used wood glue to two popsicle sticks on the inside to hold the structure together. After doing this multiple times I then glued them into the house form I wanted. This big idea behind my artwork is to show a nice little house that would be suitable for people to live in. My goals for this artwork is to show architecture and show it by representing a house using popsicle sticks. I think this artwork turned out basic and could have been done better. The reason it was simple and thrown together because I start myself with a too big of a project that I could not handle in the short period of time we had to work on it.
For the past few days I have been working on practicing 8 different principles of design pattern, proportion, unity, balance, movement, emphasis, and variety. I then worked on the planning of a new artwork that uses some of these principles. My artwork that I plan on doing uses pattern, proportion, movement, and variety. I plan to make this cool swirling sculpture of popsicle stick that I found on line also the picture below. However my artwork is going to have a variety of colors. I am also planning on as the pattern of colors finish each time the size of the square will get smaller each set. While doing theses things I have been observing different principles of design and how they act in artworks. I have also been stretching and exploring different artwork and way that may help to make my plan successful. Here is a picture of the 7 different types of principles of designs I have been practicing and learning balance, pattern, proportion, unity, variety, emphasis, and movement.
