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.
