Bitue

In this project we got the chance to make our own piece of fabric with a design on it. In order to have the designs we had to make a mixture of water flour and another cooking ingredient then squeeze the mixture onto our piece of cloth and let it dry. After it dried we then put paint on top of the mixture and let that dry. Once it had all dried we then rinsed our piece of cloth and the stain and design were left behind, this was a very fun project to do.

Wire

This was the assignment we had to do that dealt with having children in your class that may have a disabilty. For this lesson I was a second language learner so I had to just basically guess what we were doing and the assignment was to make an animal out of wire and i decided to do a fish. It was impossible to try and get the directions in sign language so i just had to look at what other kids were doing.

Stamp

This is one of the stamps I made for my pot. I was trying to make it into a shape of a heart but the glue was hard to control. We took a piece of yarn and glued it to a cardboard and let it dry. The next time we met for class we were able to use these stamps to stamp our pots that we had made. I found  that often i had to retrace the lines.

Pots

This was the first time I had ever made a pot in an art class. I just assumed we didnt do it in school because it was too complex and hard to but after making these pots I found that it is quit simple and that you could do this with children as young as in the elementary grade. You just need to make sure you have a kiln to fire them in. We did two different kinds of pots one of them being a pinch pot and the other a coil pot. My favorite was the coil pot.

Scratch Board

This project was one of my favorites. We first had to color a piece of regular white paper with a whole bunch of different crayon colors, after that we painted over it with this black special type of paint and then let it dry. After we let it dry we scratched out the Abc's over and over again all connected and then filled in all of the negative space with techniques of texture. I tried to use a couple different techniques of texure and I was really happy with my final result.

Google Sketch up

This project was done on the computer. Often times we dont think of art work as being done on the computer but with the change in time technological art is becomming more and more popular. We went onto a program called google sketch up and had to creat a building with different aspects, the ones I put into mine were colums and triangles. This was a great way to broaden the spectrum of art.

Water color resist

This project was done after the popular artist Van Goghs painting of starry starry night. We had to first draw what we saw outside of our window at night with pastels. I drew a bunch of branches and one little light. After we had drawn with pastels we then had to go over the pastels with water color. We saw the resist of the water color against the oil based pastel. This was a new technique I had never learned before.
