I chose this piece because I enjoy drawings of faces and because I like creating with pastels. In this work I decided to take a different approach to the person so I gave him a fro and some sideburns. I really enjoyed blending the green with the blue in the background. Alex R.

Clay Whistles - Art 1

For this project we had to make a clay ball and cut it open and take out the clay from the inside then put the two parts back together. After we had the ball we put another clay piece on it that would be the blow hole. I choose to turn my clay ball into a bear the hardest thing about this project I would say is turning it from a circle to another shape.

This is my pet raccone. His name is Rocky. Say hello to Rocky everyone. His face was about the easiest thing to paint. His hair was the hardest thing to paint cause my brush wasn't the finest.

I chose this painting, because I really liked this painting of the first thing I ever did in this classroom. It has been in inspiration for me to do the best on the projects I do in class. When I don't do a good project I want to toss the painting away but then I thing of this saying "Remember were you started because it is always going to be the first thing that motivates you. That is why I will remember this painting. The Lost Garden.

I really liked painting animals on rocks. It was hard at first to find a rock that you could really see an animal in, but i found a fish. The hardest part about painting on the fish was painting the scales, they were very time consuming. When i finally finished I loved the finished product, the fish actually looked like a realistic fish. I would love to do another project like this. -- Josie W.

I thought this painting project was a challenge. To find a rock that fit your animal and to paint it the right way. I choose a skunk. It was an challenge to keep the rock not looking too outlined. It was a very fun project to choose an animal and paint it on a rock. It was also very frustrating with the hair on the skunk when i just could not get it right. Overall I liked this project and it was very interesting.--Jalen W.

This pen and ink drawing was my first Studio Art project. I really enjoyed it because I had never really done anything like it before. I was inspired by a painting in one of Ms. J's college books.It took a lot of time and I got a little frustrated at times with shading the rocks,but in the end it was all worth it. I wish I had drawn it on card stock instead of regular paper. I can't wait to do more fun and exciting projects that broaden my artistic views. :) Olyvia
