Baking Clay-bad

 This I kinda like fan art turned pressure and repetition. When I started this project all I could think about is the finale of Breaking Bad. To completely understand stand the art you have to understand Walter (main character) was under pressure to make money for his family before he died.  So that's why I used money to make the sides for repetition.  What I know I did good on in this project was  making Walters face. If I were to do this again I would spend more time on the money sides. Thanks for reading.


New way-relief

This is my relief piece. A call it "a New Way". My medium is a book. This was very challenging, because the only tool I could use was an exacto knife. If I were to redo this piece I would probably use clay because it would have been a lot easier.  I didn't really finish this piece because I didn't  glue everything together because each time I would try it would get really warped. So it freaked me out so I stopped gluing it. Thanks for reading

Landy art

   Land art is the use of the land to make art. My piece is called "the Monster Tree". I choose to do this because I remembered I walked by this tree a few times thinking it had the best spot for a face. And as soon as miss Sudkamp told us we were doing land art I knew what I was doing. If I were to do anything different I probably would find some sticks that looked like arms, and gave it arms. Thanks for reading

Claymation

This is my vessel project. I really liked the vessle of light idea. So I thought "what would look good with a candle in it and be a little different?" And so I thought of a fire hydrant and decided to do it. In order to do this I need to use a slab of clay and mold it around a bottle giving it the shape.  And then I used clay to put more details in to it. And instead of glaze I used paint, because I didn't think the glaze would be as dark as I needed it to be. So thanks for viewing..

Art article

So the last article is about a painting people recently found. The painting was from the famous Van Gogh. The first thing I thought of was a new species. After searching google I found out that researchers found 4 new species of legless lizards. This quickly interested me to learn there are legless lizards. You would think a legless lizard would just be a snake but its not. According to earthsky.com  "There are over 200 species of legless lizards around the world. While they look similar to snakes, the lizards have eyelids and external ear openings that snakes do not possess." So the finding of new things is pretty cool.
