Person: Jessica Fuko Jessica drew her brother. The mediums she used were wood, acryllic paint, paper and charcoal. She is finished and I thought it was a really creative to splatter paint on top of a piece of wood. I would have never thought to have charcoal and acryllic in the same piece. I love how many madiums there were and the colorful background with the black and white portrait looks really good, it makes the piece pop.

For my sculpture project, I decided to make a clay box in the form of a TARDIS. I made it by rolling out the slabs of clay and sticking them together with some slip. For the lettering, I used alphabet soup letters that would burn away in the kiln. All the lines that I had to draw on the sides were drawn freehand with a needle thingy, so they're not very straight. After it was fired, I glazed the piece with dark blue glaze(except for the white windows) . Glazing was probably my least favorite part. I love painting, but the glaze just made me feel disgusting. Originally, I wanted to recreate Pandora's box from the TV series Once Upon a Time, but the patterns were really complex on it and it was kind of an ugly color, so I decided to go with a simpler box from the world of fandoms. I think the most successful part of my piece was the lid on the box. I was really expecting the little nub on top to crack and fall off because it didn't seem very secure, but it stayed on. Also, the corners on the lid were sculpted nice and sharply. If I were to make it again, I would smooth the slabs out more, the sides to the box are pretty bumpy. I would also give it another couple layers of glaze and fix the letter color, because apparently on the real TARDIS, they are white with a black background indtead of the other way around. Oops. I'm not sure I would sign up for sulpture class if I could. I really liked the finished product of my clay poece, but the work put into it wasn't that fun. I'm a little germophobic and people were finding hairs and roaches in the clay and there were a bunch of mysterious lumps in the glaze and that made me really uncomfortable. Maybe sculpture would be fun beacuse there are other things to sculpt besides clay so I might do sculpture later. |
