1st marking period finished?

Even with a few delays the first marking period has flown by so quick... It was a great start to my senior year i got to start papers for my book (picture above) i trying to stay a little more neutral then i usually do for my book but we will see if i can keep it up. And i just finished my project for Marist, I hope i get in! All the extra time in first period really helped me out. But i cant wait to start lanterns i think they are going to be pretty awesome when they are done and i cant wait to see what the rest of the year will bring!

Mixed Media!

We are starting Mixed media again! and even though some people hate it i love it, and i love how my collage turned out. we needed to pick a presidential candidate and an issue and i chose Obama and bringing the troops home. I chose them one because i wanted to use the picture from when i met Obama and two because i have quite a few cousins and close family friends in the army and i want to see them safe and home. But back to my collage i started with matt transfers for the base and then just layers of paint and peeling off of presidents faces to finish. i think the colors are great and i think i get my opinions across. take a look for your self.

Shoes and more shoes

So this year instead of apples we drew something that didn't rot oh so quickly. We drew shoes! I think they where a little harder then the apples, they had more detail I guess, and we had allot more space to cover on a full sheet of paper then the half sheet in last years books. but over all it was a fun time and i think mine turned out pretty well even though i had some issues with the shading because i didn't know how dark to make it all. what do you think...

SENIOR YEAR

Hey everyone I'm starting my last year here at HTHS and I'm so excited to be back in creative arts!!! Last year was so much fun and i bet this year will be even better! I'm hoping this year to expand my portfolio and just have fun in my last year. So stay logged in if you want to see what I create :)

Final Post

Its the end of creative arts for this year :( It has been such a fun year in that class though. I think I have improved in every form of art we did this year, from drawing and sketching to clay and metals. I would have never thought that I could draw a self portrait of my self. That was probably one of the most stressful things we did this year. It was so exact every little detail had to be in the right place or it threw the whole thing off. but I finished and it was such a great feeling! I had some issues with my metals to. My butterfly refused to stay on, we had to glue it but all the soldering turned it a cool color. Next was the clay. It took forever and my bow ribbons kept breaking but I figured it out, and my plate is awesome to it broke a little two including the bottom of my needle right as I finished glazing it. It was a little annoying it broke right then but it looks pretty good and I'm happy with my table setting. I never would have thought at the beginning of this year that would have accomplished everything that I have. the class the teacher and the atmosphere in the class is just fun and open and its just a place to be open and express yourself. I cant wait to take it again next year!!!

I am doing Betsey Johnson for my table setting. I picked her because she started my interest is design and fashion. The  first thing i made was my bowl it is almost like a little egg chair but it has buttons all over it and I'm going to glaze it in some crazy colors. It was a little annoying to attach all the buttons but I'm glad i did because it looks pretty cool, at least I think it does. Second i am making my cup that is supposed to look like a bow on its side (picture below) I have to figure out how to make sure the ends of the ribbon don't snap off when it dries. it has been fun so far and i cant wait to see my finished project!
