Relief Project - Due: Feb. 14, 2017


What did you find challenging about each one?
Clouds: This was interesting because they are so many different types of clouds. Some are big and fluffy and others and thin and 

Rock: This was the easiest one to make because of the different kinds of texture different kinds of rocks have. Even some rocks have both smooth and rough textures so it was easy to turn that into clay. 

Fur: This was the hardest one because fur is an interesting texture to see it is more from the touch so trying to make that into clay was harder. I tried to picture dog fur with the long strands of hair.


What did you find successful about your tile piece and cardboard piece? (15pts)
I really think my melting glass and paint colors worked really well on my tile piece. My background on the cardboard after painting it looked very clean and made the pieces I glued on pop more.

What might have you changed if you were do it again? (15pts)
I would've made my border on my title more even and straighter. I also would've made my glued on pieces on my cardboard have more detail.

What subject did you pick for each piece and why? (15 pts)
I picked a garden for the tile because I wanted to use bright colors and I picked an underwater subject for my cardboard because of someone else's work that I enjoyed. 

Inspired Artist Post - Due: Feb 1, 2017


Artist; Maki Okamoto
Website: http://makiokamoto.com/

Maki is an artist who is born in Japan, live and work in Sweden. He explores the field of corpus and contemporary jewelry with his sculptural background. The ability which he got thorough working in the sculpture field creates pieces with balanced proportions and contrasting volumes. He has made work out of spoons, forks, cups, mirrors, and more home objects. The pictures below caught my interest because of how he combined two normal objects into one and made it art.
