In this project we had to make a clay tile... We had to pick a animal or a landscape to carve or build out of the clay. I used my own ideas because I wanted to do a snake so when I think of a snake I think of a desert. So I came up with the idea to make the ground below the snake cracked. Which I thought was really cool. For this project I felt like I increased my skill at clay making. I have used clay before back in middle school and it was one of my favorite units. But we would only learn basic stuff. But I feel like for this project I increased my skill because I learned more techniques and had to add a lot more texture to it to make it look real which I have not done in the past. For this project I did experience some challenges when trying to make the tile and snake look real. First off I had trouble getting the clay to form into the shape I wanted for the snake. And also the head of the snake was actually pretty hard to make look real but in the end after time I got it to work. Also the cracks in the tile to make it look dry, I had to make sure those look real and make them all look like they fit together.

In this project we had to find a picture of a landscape and paint it. So the first thing that came to mind was to paint a picture of the pond I fish at. So I went and snapped some pictures so I could use them for reference. I'm glad I chose this idea because the clouds and the reflection off of the water was really good. During this project I did have to learn new techniques because I never really painted a lot before. One thing I did have to learn was how to make the trees look like trees so my teacher went over with us how to do so. Then the other main thing I had to learn was how to make the reflection off of the water actually look like it is being reflected so my teacher told me to get blue paint and add water and do a light coat over the water area. Although the painting isn't the best I did learn new techniques and I'm sure I still have room for improvement. During this project my table would talk to eachother about what we think about each other's work and what we think would look cool or what they could change. While painting the trees, I would ask my neighbor if he thinks they looked good and what I could do to make them look better, and I also did the same for his project. All of ours came out pretty good, overall I did like this project, The final painting is below. |
