bicycle drawing

Over the past couple of weeks we have done a couple of drawings. We have completed our bike drawings. I have learned a lot about myself from this drawing project. I learned that when it comes to drawing I am a perfectionist. I also learned that I put too much force into my pencil, so making good lives and circles if hard. Finnaly I learned about spacing. In a bike especially, every part has a place and purpose, so spacing is very important. Personally I'm more of an abrtact or collage artist but i did enjoy this project.

I'm Back :)

After a long summer, I am finally back in art class. I'm looking forward to all of this years pending projects. The projects I'm looking forward to the most are the ceramics unit, we are also doing an ongoing time capsule which we will be unveiling in June and also the final product of my Coptic sketch book. I hope the best for this year and I hope most of all to have a lot of fun.

Reflections

Through the year, I have explored new mediums. Taking paper and doing things I have never thought of, working metal, and clay. I am truly grateful . Next year I hope to expand on my new found skills and try new projects. My favorite project was The Next President collage, it not only made me think about my perspective but also made me put it down on paper without using words.

The Man made of Paint

The man of paint

Alone in his painted cottage

On his small piece of home

He walks along the chaos, glides unscathed.

His creation was unintended.

He wanted more

Unwinding staircases, dragging down painted streets, and along painted hallways

Looking for someone, anyone else

Alone and lost, a ball of light appears

Lighting his way to what looked like a never ending rode of color

Still dragging along the light gave him hope

Still dragging… wandering hopelessly

The man of paint stopped and wandered what he was really looking for, he had a home,

And was there even a chance of a new life amoung the ruble

he realized he belonged in his tamed mess where he was created to be

 

Cut-Paper Lantern

For Mrs.Kiik's art class I had to create a lantern based on a season, incorparating the cut-paper technique or using exacto-knives to extract shapes out of paper making a design or image. I chose winter, in the class there was an abundance of tree inspired lanterns, and with my need to stick out I decided to dye mine blue.

 

Empty Bowls

Thousands of children across America suffer from hunger insecurity; they don’t know where their next meal is coming from. In Mrs. Kiik’s art class we decided to do something about it. We are holding the 4^th annual Empty Bowls Dinner. Empty Bowls is a program/ fundraiser where the dedicated students of Mrs.Kiik’s art class sculpt and glaze unique bowls, then we hold a dinner, the bowls are sold to raise money for the children suffering from hunger insecurity. Mrs.Kiik with the help of her students have raised thousands of dollars for the cause. I have made about 5-6 bowls and I'm really looking foward to the Empty Bowls Dinner.
