Woodland Tiles

For Relay For Life (a charity for cancer) and also an assignment we made tiles with clay and then carved and glazed them. I chose I picture from the Internet and used it as an idea, or an outline. It was two birds sitting amongst some plants in the water, I changed the picture up a bit to fit the tiles and add my own creativity to them. A few weeks ago we had used pre made tiles that weren't carved just to get a feel of how hard it is to work with glade which it is. I like the way that my tiles turned out, I think I did a good job! (This picture is before their put in the kiln.)

Scratch Art

This time our assignment was to pick a picture and use scratch art and etching to show the importance of lights and darks. I found it difficult at first but I eventually finished the picture and it ended up turning out really nice! I also learned How to show the textures of the image and use different techniques to do that.
