For this project, we created a 3D initial, which in my case was an O, using, cardboard, plastic cups, masking tape, paper-mâché, white paint, watercolor markers, colored pencil and paint. I included all of the art principals by combining and modifying the art elements.
While creating this scratch art image of Tim Tebow, I used many tools that allowed me to achieve the ideal pressure and and color that I wished for.
The project above was modeled after the Georgia folk artist, Lanier Meaders. Most of his artwork focused on the sculpture of faces on pots. For my pot, I decided to sculpt a teddy bear instead of a human face. I used the coil method to form the base and head of the pot and the individually molded each of the facial feature. To add the features to the base of the pot, I used the scoring and slipping method to prevent air bubbles. Finally, to give the bear a fur texture, I make quick marks with a toothbrush to give the impression of hair.
Side note: the top row of pictures are before the teddy bear pot was fired or glazed and the bottom row is after firing and glazing.

For this project, we began with a sketch, as you can see in the left image above. Then I placed a piece of plexi class of the sketch, then carved an outline of the elephant into the plastic, as seen in the middle image. For the next step, I rubbed ink into the cracks, and rubbed of the excess. Then I placed the paper, that had already been painted with water color, and colored with oil pastels, under the roller. The ink was pushed onto the paper and created a black outline for the elephant. The final project can be seen in the far right image.
During this project, we had to create a piece of artwork that featured a Georgia animal. I choose a male cardinal. Within the picture we had to include five patterns: the birds in the top right corner, the feathers at the end of the bird's tail, the lady bugs on the log, the plumage around the beak, and the wood grain on the log. For the background, we carved a design into a piece of foam and used acrylic paint to stamp around the border. Our art was inspired by Randy McGovern.

In this assignment, we experimented with different techniques of shading, using small dots, lines, hashes, or scribbles with micro-pens. I first used water color and watercolor pencils to draw the color for the butterfly. After the paint had dried, I applied the shading technique of using dots to shade the butterfly and plants surrounding. The process was tedious and took a long time, but the final project showed the effort.

In this project, we experimented with the grossing process. We found an image that resembles an aspect of GA, I chose a tiger from the Atlanta Zoo. Then we gridded the image itself and a large piece of paper. every 1 in x 1 in on the image would be 2in x 2in on the paper. I used oil pastels as my medium.
