Flowers

For this project, we have created flowers! The weather is amazing and the sun is out! Flowers have bloomed at the Apex High Art One AOIT Class! Today, we have created these cute flowers to show our love for spring! This was difficult becuase it took patience. Also, you had to make it look realistic. The best part of my flower is the gradient because of the detail and precision.

Mud Rattles


So this past week, Mr. Sands wanted us to make rattles which are annoying! But I actually liked this project. To start, we had to make animals using a sculpting app on our Ipads. Sadly, I don't have a picture from my Ipad because Mr. Sands didn't take one. Enjoy this one here. With this image, we created a clay sculpture rattle. Now, they are in the kilm being heated. I think this project was pretty successful. However, I feel like I could've done better if I had my Ipad image throughout the whole time. The hardest part was giving the clay texture and wrinkles without braking it in any way. Many people may not have loved my elephant, but I love the detail I put in it. My piece was successful because I did manage to texturize it. Putting hair on my elephant didn't work at all. If I were to do this again, I would pace myself and take a picture of my own Ipad structure. Overall, I am excited to see my sculpture!

Zentangles




So in the recent times, we have been doing a lot with mud! Mud is sooooo gross. Mr. Sands let Samantha, Sabrina, and I just paint the wall pink. However, he didn't take a picture of it so enjoy the pictures of us helping with zentangles. It was sooo hot and we got exhausted so you can see us just chilling. Also, we halped with theses guys to make a new form of brick wall. It was successful because of the layering of paint that we used. If I was to do this project again, I would have painted the wall in a chevron pattern. Anyway, thumbs up to art! I loved zentangles! Overall, we had an amazing time enjoying the sun rays! The most difficult part was definitely detailing and reaching the high bricks on the wall!

Forced Perspective

For this portion of art class, we decided to take pictures in forced perspective.In this photo, I actually was the star and I am standing on the shed! Actually, Samantha stood on the bleachers and took a picture of me. However, it worked for forced perspective!My project was successful because of the angle of the camera. If I would've moved to the left more, the picture would have been better. The most difficult part was being directed to the correct positioning because only the photographer knows how it looks. Overall, our project looked amazing!
