| Clay Tile In this mini project we had to use a picture of nature and recreate it on a mini clay tile. This type of style was relief. As I stated before my medium was clay, which is one of my favorite mediums. I chose to do a basic flower as my inspiration from nature. I was really happy with the way it came out, until I glazed it. The glaze covered the small details of the flower and gave an all-around messy look to it. In the future I will know not to use glaze with a piece that has tiny details. Cardboard Mini In this mini project we had to pick an image from nature and recreate it on cardboard. This was also a relief piece. I found this medium difficult to work with because many times when peeling back the cardboard it would peel in sections I did not want it to. I saw many people do well with this project and were able to manipulate the cardboard in ways I could not. I do not think this is a strong medium for me, but it was a new experience and for that I am glad I did this project. Book Cutting In this project we had to carve letters into a book to create a relief style image. Once finished it produces a really interesting looking piece of art. The whole class worked together to create a phrase about art and apex high school with separate books. It was kind of hard and tedious to cut the same thing over and over again, but the look in the end was worth it. Unfortunately I don’t know where the book is so I will attach another picture of a book cutting project. |
