In this piece, we were tasked with creating a piece of art in perspective that was close up and abstracted in some way. I chose to create something that was a little out of my limits, to push myself to improve. I created a close up of a dragons eye. I used two different colored pencil colors to abstract the piece by differing the scales (1/2 blue, 1/2 green). I attempted to utilize perspective techniques to round out the eye and make it look like it rounds out. I could have done better at that because it ended up looking like it caves in at the pupil. I did however, succeed at utilizing perspective to create dimension, as the dragon looks like it curves around like an actual dragons head would. I used black for the empty left over space around the dragon so I could make it look like it was flying at night. I achieved the desired effect by creating the hair like structures at the top of the dragon. I wish I could have spent more time on the project, because I felt that I could have corrected some minor faults had that been the case.
In this Piece, I made pizza and fries out of clay because the combination is one of my favorite things to eat. We were tasked to make realistic representations of the food we chose to make out of clay. Several students utilized glaze to do this. I however, chose to use paint, hoping I would be able to create a reasonable example of a well done project. To make the pizza I cut the shape out of a large block of clay and used some of the leftover clay to create the crust. I used some extra clay to cut out the fries. I used paint to create the realistic fries, and the crust and cheese of the pizza. I feel that while the paint job on the fries turned out OK, I could have done better. The paint job on the crust of the pizza and the cheese did not turn out as planned however, and I definitely could have done better. I say this because the crust turned out closer to blood red than a tan color that crust usually is. I did enjoy the project and I feel I put in my best effort towards the desired result.
