Sculpture





How did you use your own unique ideas in your work?
-I looked up many pictures for Alice type things and from my own imagination i wanted to make interesting things the look through. 

these are some of my inspiration pictures that I used: 





















Did you use a source for inspiration, then combine it with your own ideas to make it original?
-I used the books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as my source of inspiration. I made shadow boxes, each one had a theme according to a scene in a chapter from the book. 

How did you respond to challenges that occurred as you worked? 
- I dropped one of the boxes and three of the transparent layers got out of place and the top of the box was already on so i had to stick a pencil into it and it was very hard to fix. Don't be clumsy people!


Did your work take an unexpected turn due to a mistake or did something happen that was unplanned?

- The first box that i made had many layers so it took longer than expected to cut out and draw. This resulted in not enough time to make all of the boxes. There are supposed to be 6 but I made 4 and one was not finished so I only have 3





















Art Journal

The topic I had was grow. I used this by making the color of the page mostly green, this is because when you see green you usually relate it to plants and growth. I have an old man, he has grown from a small child to an old man. 

Did you try something that you weren’t sure about as part of this project?
 - Basically the whole thing was just an experiment and placing things on top of other things to see if it would look interesting. 

Did you pick a material or technique that was new or different over something that was familiar? 
- I used a technique that scraped the paper off but that did not work too well, I also used a different glue adhesive but it doesn't really look like it did much to it. 

Did you learn new techniques or processes as part of the work for this project?
- Layering makes the art work look interesting and it adds depth 
Did you gain skill with familiar materials?
- glueing and it is better to use EX-ACTO knifes

Art history music video

We chose The Unicorn in Captivity and its from the gothic era. Me and the two other people in my group worked on the background and the fence. Canyon was the unicorn. If we did it again i would paint more flowers. 

Perspective

When did you take a step back to analyze your work during this project? After i colored in the black tattoo i thought it was too much. 
Did you consider how ideas would work before you do them? Not really 
What are some issues? I thought the hand on the top looked weird and the picture made the nose look weird 
How is the art about what you like? Its a drawing of Oli Sykes
