clay project

no picture available.
I liked my clay project. I tried to give it a rough wood texture and it has a mushroom in the corner. The side of it says Free Your Mind. I plan to paint the wooded looking part brown, and do the rest in yellow, green and red. The only problem doing this project was trying to determine how thick the clay should be; i was always trying to make it too thick. What i learned in doing this project was how to texture the clay a little more than what i had did in the past.

mushrooms

This is my favorite project this year so far. I like all the use of color. The paint splatter was fun to do. I like the large orange yellow and green mushroom the best of all of them. Painting the smaller mushrooms at the bottom completed the painting i think. I also thought that using different, darker colors as the paint splat background was a good idea, it made the brighter colors in the mushrooms stand out more.

rope

I liked this drawing because i think it was a creative way of drawing the rope. The detail used in the rope itself was poor, but the layout was nice.The most difficult part of this piece was the overlapping of the rope and getting it to look good.
