Artist Solve Problems

For this project I had to solve a problem. The problem I solved what was could I make out of wire and beads. 

Illustration Friday

SMOOTH

This week our illustration Friday was to draw something smooth. I drew smooth rocks in a river, like skipping rocks. There is a bunch of them.

For this project I chose my limitation to be wire. I decided to only use wire to make an object. Since it is fall I made a pumpkin with a stem. I bent all the wire and put it together. Along the sides I added beads to give it some color and on the stem I added green beads because stems are normally green. I used the people around me to come up with an idea and they also helped me figure out how to construct the final thing. So far I just have the pumpkin made and I now have to decide what I am going to do with it.

Artists Steal

I think that copying is not okay. Taking someone else's artwork is basically claiming it as yours. 

For my final project I took a picture of myself and cut out my body on photoshop. I then chose to add a different background and effects. I had trouble with this project while choosing what kind of background and effects to add. I also didn't know how to position the picture on the background. In the end I am happy with my final outcome and I think that it looks really cool!

For this project I chose to use photography. I took pictures of dancers feet in different positions. I used photoshop to them position the pictures on a poster. I was inspired to use dancers feet because dancing is a passion of mine. I enjoy creating art with it. During my project I had trouble aligning all the pictures together so that they were all in line and they had no gaps inbetween. Overall I enjoyed this project and I am happy with the outcome!

Artists Observe Mini Project

To accomplish this project I left my phone out at my dance studio. I wanted to see what would happen when someone else picked it up. One of the other girls took it and started taking pictures of her feet, so this is what I got out of it!

Mixed Media

For this project I made a whirlpool with all the essentials of life inside! It was made to show fears of life. I liked my idea of having all the whirlpools together overlapping each other. I also like how I covered the entire thing with white tissue paper. I was not satisfied with the cut out pictures of the essentials. I feel that they don't blend very well. I was unsure about having the picture added and I wish I had tucked some of the corners into the whirlpool pictures. I feel it would have had a better effect.
