FinishedAngle ShotsDetail ShotResponses1. Since my in process blog post, I have painted my piece with acrylic paint. After I did that, I sprayed my piece with glaze. 2. In my piece, I find my slabs the most successful. They are very smooth and make the box look like an actual present. 3. If I were to do it again, I would have used glaze instead of acrylic paint. Also, I would have tried to make the ribbons a little more precise. In ProcessPiece in ProcessResponses1. Next, I plan to paint my piece with acrylic paint. I will paint the ribbons of my box white and paint the wrapping paper light blue. After the paint had dried, I will apply a shiny coat to the piece.
2. What I found difficult was forming the box itself. It was hard because I had to measure each individual side as well as the top and bottom. The sides had to be exactly the same size and thickness which was especially hard when I did different sides on different days. It was hard to make the top because I had to make it able to fit like a puzzle. It was also hard to score and slip everything together without having anything break, crack, or fall apart. 3. What I found successful was how strong my piece is. It feels very sturdy and unlikely to break. I also like how the ribbons turned out because I was afraid they would break in the kiln. 4. First, I cut out 4 identical slabs: 1/4 thickness, 4 inches wide, 4 inches long. Then, I scored and slipped the 4 slabs together until they made a box. Next, I made the bottom of my box. I cut out another identical slab and scored and slipped it accordingly so it would fit on the bottom. Next, I made the top. For this, I had to trace the top opening of my box so that the top would fit like a puzzle on top. Then, I cut 4 identical slabs of ribbon and put each on one side of the box. Then, I created 4 little notches on the bottom of the top of my box. Next, I created the rest of the ribbon by molding the clay and scoring and slipping it onto the box. Lastly, I put my piece in the kiln.

My Watercolor PieceResponses1. I used the three-point perspective. 2.This photo is of the John Hancock Building in Chicago when I went there 2 summers ago. 3. What I found difficult was making the building look tall. I had to think able the angles of the lines that I drew. 4. The watercolor technique warm-up helped because I used a lot of color drop in my piece and I wouldn't have known how to do that if I didn't have that warm-up. The forced perceptive photography warm-up helped because I was the one taking the pictures and so it made me think about where to position the camera. This helped me when painting my piece because I was able to know what angle to position my lines in my sketch. Watercolor Warm-Ups1. I found the watercolor technique warm-up the most helpful because I was able to learn how to use watercolor in other ways to create more realistic looks. I ended up using a lot of color drop in my piece and so it was helpful to learn how to do that.
2. I really like how watercolor looks. I like how it doesn't necessarily look the same in every part of your piece and how it adds dimension. 3. The hardest part about water color is maintaining it. Sometimes when you are painting, the water will move around. Sometimes, it is hard to create the same exact color and is hard to paint over dark colors. |
