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. 

Lego Cathedral Project

We had an assignment over march break where we had to build a French cathedral out of Legos. It had to include features of a real French cathedral like flying buttresses, a rose window, arches, and stain glass windows. My group rebuilt the Beauvais Cathedral which was a church that had collapsed because when they were building it they wanted it to be the highest,back in gothic times the town with the highest cathedral was considered to be the best town. I don't really think we did as well as we could have but it turned out pretty good anyway.

Music Art Project

I drew this picture because it represents my favourite musician, Ed Sheeran. In his video 'Give Me Love' there is a girl who is similar to an angel, she has the power to make people fall in love so throughout the video she is making people love and she is so envious of the love that she can give she wants it herself. I thinks it's really sad that she is able to give so much but not able to have it herself.

Inspiration for my Music Art Project

First Blog Post

I think that art is is an expression of what someone is thinking or feeling, lots of things can be used to express art like drawing, painting, sculpting etc. Me myself, I like to draw or do anything really that involves using your imagination and creativity.
I absolutely hate science and geography, their definitely not my sting suits but I consider myself to be fairly good at art and I enjoy it more than most other classes.
In art class this term I'd definitely like to do pointillism because we didn't have the chance to do it last year and it looks like I would like it. Maybe I'd also like to use clay to make a sculpture, I've never don that before but I'd really like to try and give it a try. All I know now is that I like drawing and being creative, so pretty much anything art wise that if like to try out. I'm not really that good at painting, I never was and most of my family is good at art.
