Elephant Turnout

Here is my original rattle design and my final product. 

Light Drawings

 For this project, we attempted a light drawing of the iconic Marilyn Monroe in her classic ballet pose. We really managed to capture the light in her facial features. However, her dress showed her legs and the her hair. Overall, the project allowed us to grow as artists and accept our mistakes.

Clay Sculptures

Here's a picture of my clay sculpture!

Painting UP!

Recently, I had the privilege of painting a landscape on a canvas! I decided to do the theme of UP, a disney movie about a house floating by balloons. This movie is my favorite movie by far, and I absolutely love the scenery. In this movie, you see 4 focal points. The calm and crisp sky that I have captured. The fluffy clouds lying beneath the house. An elaborately bright house that dangles from a massive array of balloons. In my painting, I wanted to capture every sense. The calm relaxing air with fluffy, cotton like clouds that dance upon your fingers. The smooth relaxing silence of the lone house. The soft breeze and whistle of the wind. Lastly the small taste of rain as you reach above the clouds! I captured it all through the delicate texture and colors of my painting! 

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!
