Intro to 3D Art |
My artwork is in the letter K. I have 6 pictures around the letter of me and my friends, family, and doing things I like to do. There is glitter from a glitter pen painted around the edges of the pictures. There is a deer head/skull with antlers painted black in the middle. For the outside of the letter I tore up light, dark blue, and light green tissue paper and used modge podge to stick it to the outside. The base of the letter is white. I started out by making a K on a thin, regular piece of paper. I traced it onto a very thick type of paper/cardboard. I made two of them, then glued a bunch of dixie cups in between the K's. Once those dried I glued the cardboard tape to the both sides of the K to help hold them together and to make it all one piece. Once I finished doing that and everything dried, I painted gesso onto the letter. It was really thick and hard to make it even. It made some of the tape peel up. After the gesso was dried I painted white paint onto it because there was some weird marks on it that I didn't like. The thing that I'm trying to show in my artwork is who I am. What things make me the person I am and what makes me happy. My hunting pictures are something I've done/wanted to do since I was a really girl because my dad did it. My truck is my whole world and I've rode in that truck my whole life. When I was 5 or 6 I told my dad I wanted to drive a big jacked up truck just like him and I've wanted that ever since. I have a couple pictures of my friends and family on there. I don't know what I'd do without my friends by my side every step of the way. Then, the last picture on there is one of me water skiing. We just bought some land on Sullivan lake and I spent all my free time over there last summer and now I will be there whenever I can this summer. My goals for this artwork was to create something that showed the type of person I am. I think the the colors I used and the pictures I picked showed some of the things I like to do and the things that are most important to me. I think my artwork turned out pretty good. I added more things than what I planned on having on it. I ended up adding the glitter and the tissue paper. I felt that there needed to be more in my art, so I added my favorite colors and something to make the pictures stand out a little bit more.

I am going to be showing the things and people that make me who I am. I will have pictures of hunting, friends, family, hobbies, and sports I like to do. My plan has stayed the same from when I started, but I think I'll have to print out a lot more pictures because I don't know how I am going to cover that whole space. I really like how the letter turned out. It is very sturdy, and has a good shape. The only part that I am still working on is putting the pictures on, drawing the deer skull, and adding some color with tissue paper. I started to learn about art history and how the Native Americans used art to show who they are and what they feeling. I am learning to create works that show how I'm feeling or who I am. I am starting to see that a lot of things make me the person I am.
My plan for my final artwork is to do a 3D letter. I am going to do the letter K for my name. I am going to use new tools to make this artwork. It requires some kind of board, dixie cups, gesso, and cardboard tape. I am going to try to express who I am with my artwork. I think I am going to put pictures of my friends, family, and things I like to do on my letter. Then, I'm going to put a deer skull and antlers in the middle of the K and paint it black. I might put blue and green tissue paper in different spots of the letter because they are my favorite colors.
I was originally going to make a pinch pot, and turn it in to a turtle. I had a lot of struggles in the beginning to just make a bowl. I decided not to make it into a turtle, and just a regular bowl because I noticed that a lot of other peoples' artworks were breaking when they added something else to it. Something else I struggled with was that I didn't put cling wrap inside of the paper bowl I used to shape mine, and since the clay was wet, it peeled the paper off the bowl and stuck to the clay. In the end, I made and bowl and decided to paint it with two different shades of blue. The lighter blue on the inside was called, Blue Yonder. The dark blue that's on the outside is, Mosaic Blue. I learned to embrace my mistakes like the little holes and scratches in my artwork, by making them the thing that gives my art texture. I learned from these mistakes and will take more time on clay, making it how I want it to look.
