Ceramic Bust


Front View - Ceramic Bust before Color was added

Angled View


This is the ceramic bust I made of pilot elf. The inspiration artist for the ceramic bust is Robert Arneson. I had first started by making a sketch of the bust I would be doing and then I worked with the clay. It was kind of difficult forming the facial features that I wanted, but I got close to it. I added goggles on his head and a jacket so it would look more like a pilot. Later, I added some color to the sculpture. I chose colors that would make the sculpture realistic.

Hidden Message
 
Cover Page


These are some of the drawings and paintings I did in my altered book. In my altered book, I painted, drew, scratched and such on it for the various assignments we had. One of the assignments was to draw something and make a hidden message using the words in or surrounding the drawing. Another one was to design the cover and the back of the book.

Museum Sketches



The assignment was to draw sketches of some of the sculptures I saw in NCMA. The sculptures were from Rodin. Rodin's sculptures were amazing to look at because of how realistic they were. Also, when I went to the museum I saw many other works of art that were  magnificent to look at as well.

Designed Letter - Calligraphy

Colored Letter                       Original Design
For this project I designed a letter. The arrows and circles form the letter "J." After designing, I scanned the image to Photoshop and added color and gradients to the letter.

Calligraphy


In this assignment I practiced calligraphy. I had a sheet that showed how to write each letter. It helped me with each stroke I should be using for each letter. It was kind of hard performing the strokes but as I kept practicing it got easier.

Scratch Board

Photoshop Image
For this piece I took a photograph of what I would be scratching. I used a scratching tool and a scratch board for this project. In this project we were practicing value by scratching away the area that would be white and left the areas that were dark, dark. Later, I used Photoshop to add some color to enhance the image and by using the opacity, it allowed me to use many different colors on top of one another. The outcomes for the projects were pretty good.
