Painting: Acrylic




So our acrylic painting project was probably the most stressful project for me to date. After getting the sketch down and taking a step back the size and amount of work that would need to go into the piece did intimidate me a little. As someone that doesn't work with paints too often, this was also a very large challenge, especially with the clothes. I do wish that I could spend more time working on it since I'm sure that it's not at the best it could be at. Out of the many things to work on I think working on finding shades and tones would be the one to improve on the most with this as well as time management. It's been a very long process with several redos on sections so all the process photos are below too.

Feedback:
Keona - More texture differences and distinction between the materials, the hair could use some more texture as well. But the blending is really nice too.  
Anika - Defining the objects a little more. Contrast is something that could be improved upon as well. The shape of things is really nice and it is pretty easy to tell what is what. 
Jay - The blending is really nice and the colours go well together.

Tripod Mug

Tripod mug Insert pre fire photo here: Construction What skills, techniques, or process did you employ to create your mug? I used the reductive technique. I carved out designs into the sides of the piece and worked my not all the way up it. How does your final construction look? Also describe the difficulties in construction. My final construction is a little lopsided but other than that I think that I really like how it turned out. I struggled a little with the undulation of the mug and the lid but in the end it turned out okay.

Final Reflection

CERAMICS FINAL REFLECTION Photo of final glaze piece Final thought on the best parts of this piece. Project 1 I thought that the best parts of this piece were the inside glazing and the small diamond detail I added to the front. I actually put a lot more care into these parts than any other part of the piece and I think that they ended up turning out better because of that. Project 2 I liked how the details on the body turned out  on this piece. I used slip trailing to get it to look the way that I wanted it to look. With the glazing it pops a little and I’m very proud of it. Project 3 I used the mug for the first time and I got really giddy and excited because, “Oh my god I made this alkshfla.” I really liked how the glazing worked with the carvings I had. You can see them clearly on the bottom but they’re more obscured on the top and it gives it this really cool effect. Project 4 This shoe was difficult but eventually I got it mostly right I t...

My Independent Writing Project: The School of Fighting Arts Against Demonkind

Author’s Note Dear Reader, The idea for this may seem a bit strange at first, but I urge you to give it a shot. It’s not as weird as you think. It came to me in the middle of class while I was discussing a different topic in a critique group. So many people at SAS are mixed, part Asian, part something else; I began to think: what if there was a girl just like that in a story? And, of course, not just your typical coming of age story where the girl finally comes to terms with being half one culture and half another. More of a girl who knew who she was but was held back because people were scared of her. And thus the character Amani Kearny was born. Writing her was fun and after a certain point, it was like I wasn’t typing. There’s a certain way Amani talks — loads of sarcasm along with the barest hints to what she actually feels— that makes her feel like a lot of the people that I talk to on a daily basis. Which is most likely why it was so interesting. If I had...
