Splashy+Second-1st+semester+2010-11

=This is the art work I made for the Uganda, Art With a Message. I tried t = = = =o pick something that resembles Africa and wanted to draw some sort of animal. I used pastels on black paper to create my elephant. To start, i made three thumbnail drawings and shaded them with different values, I then experimented with different type of media until i found pastels were media I wanted. I enlarged my elephant using the grid method, and then donated it to sell for the Uganda fundraiser. During this project, I not only learned more about how to use pastels, but also things like water color paints and colored pencils more efficiently. I really enjoy how my elephant turned out, especially how my sky blended so well. I'm sad it didn't sell but happy at the same time because now i get to keep it! - Jillian Grena=

= = == = = = = = This is my first picture that I made when learning how to use the viewfinder. By using the viewfinder it helps flatten out the image and d = = = = raw the picture to look what it looks like in real life not what you believe how it looks. When learning to use the viewfinder we drew many different pictures of many different objects but this one happened to be my favorite one. The hand looks very oddly shaped but it is very interesting to look at like how it was to draw. By learning to use a viewfinder I have noticed that my drawings can become more detailed and look more realistic. **-Nicole Bell**=

= This is the clay cup that i made during t = = his semester in my art class. It was my favorite thing that i made this year. It took a long time to make, but it was definitely worth it. I really like how it turned out. It is something that i will definitely be able to use a lot when i take it home. This was my favorite thing that i was able to create this semester. - Lauren Van Nosdeln=

**This is a clay cup that I made for my Aunt. I wanted to make somethings for my aunt because she had a heart attack. I wanted to give it to her when she woke up from her coma. That is why I made this cup**. **-Randy Sova-**

I made this vase in my first semester of art class. I really didn't didn't have a design when I started. I just kinda made the designs by whatever came to my head and i think it turned out really great. I'm pretty sure that its my favorite thing i made in art class this year. I think the designs i came up with are really cool looking and they all just kinda go together. I'm really happy with the way it came out!

i made a clay pot in my first semester art class. i very much enjoy this pot, because i had forgotten that on some glazes you weren't supposed to put a clear coat on them. well, i was dumb enough to put a clear coat on that type of glaze, and all of the black ran, i was very nervous at first about what it was going to look like when it came out. but then ii saw it, i fell in love. i think it is very interesting. and i can't wait to put it in my room! :) -Hattie Shoemaker!

I made this box out of clay. I enjoyed making this very much. It turned out just the way i wanted it to be. Two of my sides aren't are as dark as the other two, but I really like it. My friend Meg painted the two that aren't as dark as the other ones. my peace signs turned out to be the most awesome green color ever! I absolutely love my box so much. I can't wait to take it home and put it in my room and fill it with all kinds of junk. However I am very nervous to take my clay box home. I'm afraid that i may drop it and break it, but I am still excited to take it home.-Lindsay Hager

==I made this cup out of clay for art class. it was my favorite project this year by far, i think that it turned out very well. the only thing i wish i would have done differently is smoothing it out better, so the cup wasn't so bumpy. its yellow, with a blue flower design on the one side. i plan on using my cup a lot when i take it home. -Tia VanBremen==

I made a pot out of clay. Out of all the things we did in class making my pot was my favorite. I think it looks really nice and it turned out exactly how i wanted it to. I love how i made different things on it. My least favorite part about it is the paint. I think i should have spent more time painting it instead of rushing to get it done. I think the most fun part about it was putting it together to make it into the pot. All in all this was my favorite thing we did in here and i cant wait to take it home. -Emily Thomas

I really like how my heart sculpture turned out. I love how on the braids, i put green, then blue over top and it turned out blueish green. i learned a lot from this project, like how to wrork and wedge clay. i also learned how to glaze and what glaze is. i also learned about other ways to create relief designs. i am really happy with how my heart sculpture turned out and i hope it will be function-able.-.

For my Wiki entry I decided to put my drawing of my buddy Timothy Mong on here. I really like this drawing because if you knew Tim you would know this looked EXACTLY like him. I am proud of this. Out of all my various things I did in this class "The Mong" is by far my favorite. - Adam Croci
