Land Art

In this piece, I worked with two other students and I wasn't really sure whether or not we should do something as original as a smiley face, but I realized that original can be good sometimes. Especially when working with the land, we used things that we haven't really worked with before.  I've never made a piece of art using the land, but it worked out pretty well. I'm not familiar with this material so I definitely gained some experience with this.  Even though I'm not familiar with it, I definitely closed in on land art.

Sculpture

While I was making a Winnie the Pooh tile, it exploded and cracked in the kiln and I had to make with what I had so I smashed the whole tile.  I mixed it with thus sculptamold stuff and made brownies out of it. I meant for this artwork to say that we can make mistakes and still make something good out of it. The issue I had was crushing the peices small enough so that I could make the brownies. I just always want people to know, literal or figuratively, that mistakes are made and things can go wrong but no matter what you can always create something good out of the bad. That's why Yin-Yang exists.

Journaling

My topic for my journal was the word Sleep.  I took all the basic items and colors you would think of when you hear sleep and I made a collaged bedroom. I gained skill with journaling because Ive done it once before, but didn't really understand how to do it.  Now I know you cant just put a bunch of pictures together and call it a journal.
