Photoshop

 

These are pictures that we photoshopped. In the first one we attached a frog to a tongue and in the second one we took a zebra, basically cut off the skin, and attached it to the rhino.

In this project we were supposed to put together a photoshopped picture where it looks like something bad is about to happen. In this picture I tried to make it so that it looks like the girl is about to kick the soccerball and break a window. I couldn't get the girl's shadow exactly right so it looks a little weird. I really like photoshopping though because you can kind of play God and make something out of nothing.

Ceramics

 For this project we basically had to take a chunk of clay and make a bowl out of it. We flattened the clay using a slab roller then cut out a design for the edges of the bowl. I used red slip to make the petals of the flower and a toothpick to make the lines in the petals. I didn't really know how to work with the bottom of the bowl, so I kind of just left it how it was. After they came out of the kiln, we put glaze on them to make them look smooth and shiny. Overall I liked how my bowl turned out!

Pastels

 This is my pastel still life drawing. I didn't really like working with pastels, and I don't think it turned out very well either. The most difficult part about this project was trying to add in highlights and shadows, and trying to blend the colors.

 

Forced Perspective

I really enjoyed this project and some of the pictures actually turned out kind of cool! The most difficult part of this project was probably having to yell to the person posing and telling them how he or she should pose.

Light Drawing

In this project we used glowsticks to create pictures and words. We set the camera to take a picture over several seconds so that it could capture all the light. I thought these turned out really well!

Monsters

 I thought this project was kind of challenging. Molding the monster wasn't that hard, but trying to paint it was really hard to do. Overall, I don't think my monster turned out as well as I thought it would.

 

Perspective

 I like the concept of perspective drawing, but I'm just not too good at it. We attempted two-point perspective by choosing a cut out picture and drawing the rest. To do a two-point perspective drawing you would start out by drawing a straight line across the page and putting two points on the ends (vanishing points). Every single line in this picture is either horizontal, vertical, or heading towards the vanishing points.

In my opinion, this drawing by far is the best two-point perspective drawing in the class. The drawing really looks like it could be the rest of the house!
