END OF THE YEAR REFLECTION

My greatest accomplishment in art is clearly the amazing glaze job on my clay sculpture.

My biggest struggle has been putting my clay sculpture back together and making it amazing again. In fact it is so amazing it deserves another picture

I have made the most progress in art on drawing the proof is in the sketch books

Clay Sculpture

The most successful aspect of my amazing sculpture is the glazing job which is so amazing that it makes me cry.
I would not do anything diferently if i were to do this again because the cracks add character to my sculpture.

Family Portrait

To show my family I decided to show who goes where and when. Like my oldest sister who moved into college and me who goes all over.
The biggest strength in my family portrait is the footprints they accuratly show my family

Block Print

I feel WONDERFUL about my block print it looks wonderfulthe line up is great the only problems I had were mixing the colors I could not get brown or a sandy orange the orange is off and the brown only finally showed up with gold and red

Found Object Sculpture

To make this sculpture I had to figure out what to make and what I could use to make what and how to use what I had.

This magnificent Cash Register represents my sister she is rarely wrong, good with money and is good for business. Unlike a cash register it is not easy to push my sister's buttons and also unlike a cash register my sister is full of emotion.

POD: Principles of Design Notebook

In this book I am trying to tell the story of a little girl who got lost and was found by a small dog who took the little girl back to her father. The little dog belongs to a kind old woman.

To show the story I had to use a lot of cut outs from the xeroxes to show motion i had to take say one half of the xerox and put it on the other side.

The principles of design can be used to show a story by helping show the emotion in it like radial symmetry for being alone and also an image being unbalanced to show the same thing.

Self Portrait

The 2 aspects of my personality shown are a calm and passive and relaxed side of me and the other is a hot headed stubborn willful me.

 The struggles I had when painting this were my hair and the grid getting the grid to work out was a challenge because things that seem small are really much bigger on your face and I wanted to make what seemed small or in the middle be there when it really was bigger and more to the side. Also I had a struggle with mixing the colors to be right like mixing black is not an easy task. Also I struggled with figuring out what aspects of my personality I wanted to show. There was also the the time as shown I didn't get to putting on a nose that was easily visible. 

If I were to do this differently I would add more of the face like the nose and also try to put some sort of texture in the hair.
