Fortune cookie

For this, we made an art piece based on fortune cookies. For this, I just had things in mind like wishing and hope. Also luck. All those words inspired me to make this. The wishing we'll represents wish and the stars are luck. The starts are like shooting stars. Shooting stars are lucky.  When you get fortunes you wish for something good and hopefully you get luck so you have a good fortune. This was a hard assignment for me because I never knew what to draw or paint. This is my second fortune cookie paper because my first one started out good but ended bad so I started over and this happened. 

Art X 3

The art times three was very interesting. You had a piece of paper in front of you and you started something. Them you get it passed on and you get someone else's. You work on that then it gets passed on. You get another paper for the third time and that is your piece to finish and keep. I liked this. It was exciting waiting to see what you got. A life lesson from this is that you can make something into something better whether it is so good or bad. 

Pop print

 The process of the pop print took some time. First of all you had to think of what you wanted to do. Then you had to sketch it on a little piece of paper. The next step was to trace it onto the actual stamp. After you had finished that you had to carve it. Finally you could make your pop print. To make it you had to put the paint onto the tray and use the roller and roll it. When the roller got paint onto it you rolled it onto your stamp. Them you placed the stamp onto paper and push on it. When you take the stamp off your print is there. The whole process of this I enjoyed. I chose a nike symbol. I didn't know what to do so I was thinking. When I looked down at my shoes I saw the nike symbol and decided to draw that. I really like the pop print art. 

Collection Revealing

          Our collection totally says something about our lives. We have some iphone cases in our cluttered collection. This shows we have a technology lifestyle. The collection also shows that our intersts are so different. We have cleaning supplys to little toys. It also shows that we believe in all different sort of objects on earth. Nail polish and mascara or perfume show we believe in making our selfs different. Here is a view of part our collection:





        Portia Munson had a blue collection just like us. Hers was a pool reflecting collection. It looks liketo the right of hers is the darker blue and the left is a lighter blue. Where as our collection is just different shades of blue all over the place. Here is her blue, pool reflecting collection:

Collecting

          Cluttering could be like collecting. If an organized person has a collection, their collection would be nice and neat. It would probably look like this:

If someone's who is not so organized with a collection, theirs would be a messy collection. They would have a cluttered collection. It would probably look something like this:

Andy Warhol was a collecting artist. He did pop art also. Here is a link to a website with some more information on him:

Compare and Contrast!

               I drew a candy jar drawing and a bicycle drawing. Out of the two, I prefer the candy jar drawing. To me, it was easier and more fun. It even looked more fun. The bicycle drawing was all pencil so it was just a black and gray. That black and gray effect is nice but its not my favorite with my drawings. I like having color. It makes everything pop out and look all crazy. Both of my drawings are on decorative paper. I feel a little of regret of using the decorative paper for my bicycle drawing.

My Candy Jar Drawing!

I love candy! Drawing candy is fun. It was very difficult to get the jar to look like glass. Glass usually makes the objects inside look dis-formed. It was hard to make the drawing look like this. For the candy that was on the table, I had to draw the reflection from the light. Also, it was difficult to draw the lid of the candy jar. After all te hard work, this drawing is my favorite of the two drawings, the bike and this one.
