Judy Warner art pieces use fiber. They are extremely electrifying. They express nature and all of the colors with organic shapes. These pieces put together really well. I would love to have one hanging up on the wall. They make a statement of their own. They combine what the person thinks together beautifully with the artist feelings. She wanted to add the body and mind of daily living to her work after years of doing other things. She takes her time making these pieces to be as gorgeous as they are. She delicately stitches them and puts bold shapes on them. “I have always been in awe of the power of nature to wordlessly invoke emotion and lift humans out of their egos into a state of true connectedness with others. Similarly, I have been fascinated with the ability of color and texture to both express and invoke emotion. In my art, I use the interplay of color, texture and design to achieve similar goals, as well as to make social statements and inspire centered states of being.” The pieces show a sense of nature throughout. Each piece expresses how the artist sees nature and her point of view. The vibrant colors that she uses for the art quilts are found in nature. The colors are not the ordinary colors that man has made up but the calm blues, warm reds, dull and bright yellows, dark, pale and bright greens all express nature fully. The traditional quilts show that even traditional quilts can still be used as decoration in homes even today. Kokyu Nage warm colors against the cool colors feel as if you are warm and cold at the same time. The picture looks like harsh wind coming in from the east or west. The Maui Dreams pieces express that you can dream about the sea ocean sunset and island. The colors she uses for each piece are contradicting which draws your eye to the bright colors then see the rest of the piece. The puzzle miniature piece does look like a puzzle that still needs some help on where to place all the pieces. The In Flight piece of nature color blue calms the mind and thinks about freeing it from whatever the person is doing. The Dream Lives On piece shows that whatever happens dreams do not end they will continue on the journey that they started on. http://judywarner.com/

Henry Moore Gallery Showing

For another project, we were told to see sculptures showing outside. I decided to go to a Henry Moore gallery showing in the Denver Botanic Gardens, Colorado. When we finally got to Denver Botanic Gardens, I was excited and wanted to see every single piece. My family and I went on the weekend to see the sculptures. It was a relaxing day, just walking around and seeing art. The one I like the most was a sculpture on top of water. His sculptures feel as if they belong in nature. They were so intriguing, fantastic, enjoyable, riveting, captivating and enchanting. The sculpture on the water is called Hill Arches. The piece exhibits water stains from the rain but looks to me as if it slide out of the water. It shows space around it and through it. The lines and solids seem to melt together. That day was so fun that we are thinking about doing it again.                                                                                                           

Audio Assemblage

  
        This project was to make sound out of everyday things but not using music instruments. I figured that rattles would be the best thing to do. I bought all of the things to make the rattles. It awhile to make them and several mishaps came along for tin is extremely easy to mess up with. I decided to use different beans to make different sound. They all have different beans in them except for one that has every single bean type that I used in it. The hardest part of making the rattles was cutting for I would slip and cut of more than was necessary. The taping of the tin was hard because sometimes the tape would not stick. This project was a lot of fun in all.

Fiber

This project is based on fibers. We have to make a sculpture using materials that contained fibers. I chose to make something out of fabric. They were different kinds and shapes of fabric that was used. I did not know what to make so I started to play and round and tied the fabric together in knots. After that, it became a long piece that I did not know what to do with. I started out with a plan of what to do than my teacher came up and said that it would also work as hanging out a window.  That gave me the idea to find a tree with a hole in it and have the fabric hanging out. Therefore, a friend and I looked around and found one but it had a hole at the bottom of the tree. So I thought that it would be cool to see it coming up out of the tree hole as if in Alice and Wonderland upside down.

Judy Warner art peices use fiber. They are extremely electrifying. They express nature and all of the colors with the organic shapes.  These pieces are well made. I would love to have one hanging up on the wall. They make a statement of their own. They combine what the person thinks together beautifully with the artist feelings. http://judywarner.com/

Fan and BirdBath creation

     It took me a while to figure out what to do. I started to play with the clay making different forms and ended up with the birdbath first. After that, I continued to play with the clay deciding to make a fan. The fan was hard to figure out what exact width to make it. I tried to make it even thinner but it would not stand up so I had to make it thick enough to stand on its own. I tried to make it resemble a fan. The rest of it was easy to make after the two end pieces were done.   

Animation

     In this project, I started out with a block of clay. I decided right away on doing the moon, for it inspires me on the artistic form. The moon is not a complete circle so it shows organic elements in the world where nothing is perfect. After making the moon out of clay, I started to play with the clay just to figure out what other form to do in this animation. Of what it starts out with then goes into a moon. I found out while trying to see what other form to make that there are not a lot of things that go into a circular form. After awhile I figured out to do a wizards hat for it seemed to be the best to configure into a moon. While making the wizards hat I thought of it as the wizard’s hat from Lord of the Rings movies. The wizard’s hat has fantastic form of organic. The form is not perfect but still has some geometric form. The rime of the hat represents a circular form.  The in between forms were easy to make after having the two end pieces done cause I could imagine what forms they had to be in.

A Continuing Influence?

This project was to make a sculpture out of used books. The sculpture had to be something that was in the book not just something that comes from the world around you. We were told to only use the book and adhesive in this project nothing else. It took me awhile to figure out what to do. I had several different books to make something. I finally choose to make a laptop computer, which books can so resemble. It was hard to cut the papers of the book just right to fit inside. I then took off the binding on the book so that way it would be easier to see as a laptop. After cut the pages the right length I then put other pages on top that has no writing on them. This way the laptop does not look like a written on laptop. To make it look more like a laptop I put a keyboard and a screen that has a table on it. It took some time for the tape to stick on the other paper. I then choose a title for the sculpture taking something out of the book.
