This project I predict will be my best. My plan is sisterhood. I've created three like females but different all at the same time. My piece will show that we're all alike and the should be no segregation between us, just unity.

Star Man
Hand sculpting is something I am really not good at but I try my best. My first attempt at the star man wasn't the greatest. I feel like I needed more practice because the body parts were very disproportionate.
My second attempt at the star man was way better than the first. On my second try I fell like I needed to work on making the body parts more realistic.

Found Object Project
For my project, I'm deciding to make a paper sculpture of a Ferris wheel which is odd because I'm scared of Ferris wheels. My original plan is to apcreate a Ferris wheel that stands tall on its own with different colored carts but I'm sure the plan will change along the way...
Planning stage:
Plaster Mold
We used our original rubber molds and pours plaster on top of them to make plater molds of the shoe.
My end result is....
My mood didn't have enough plaster so it ran thin and broke as a finished product but I had to keep the pieces together. After, we painted the plaster in oil to show definition. The mold itself is darker than the outside. There's different color value in the mold. Under different lighting, you can see it all.

Hand Sculpting
We each started off with a shoe print and rubber slab. This project was more about reliefs and outcome prints. Once I completely with my word, I ended up with this as a final product.
In the beginning, I did a few test runs on how satisfied I was with my work. I didn't have to do too many because I was fine with what I had.
After the test runs, you started your final prints.
In the picture above are my final prints. The top four are normal prints with one color and no relief. The second one on the bottom is a double run. It's the same painted slab but 2 colors overlapping. The remaining 3 are reliefs with two colors. The original prints were one color and then I went in after and took some rubber off the slab so that when I painted over, it was just the shoe that was colored and that's a double run as well.
I was very pleased with myself and my work. This was definitely a "beginners luck" project for me because I don't usually have things work out well straight from the beginning.

Relief Sculpture
For my relief sculpture, I used social media. I figured on my own behalf that social media is a calmer, it takes me away from reality and focuses more on other chaos making me realize that my life isn't so crazy. This might sound bad but I'm just being honest. I sketched out the app icons that I use most which were Vine, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, and Instagram.
Once I hand built the clay into what I wanted it to look like, the clay was fired in the kiln. After, I painted my piece. I assume that the clay in the middle was too thin because when I came out of the kiln the piece has a crack through the middle. This made me look at if from a different aspect. I finished my piece completely and now it means the chaotic social media is my relief not just social media in general. I purposely painted the crack red to symbolize the chaoticness.

Wire Sculpture
My original thought of a design was much more complex. I had a huge detailed pair of sneakers but I chose not to challenge myself too much to I went with something simple. I used a Nike flip flop.
My final product is above. I tried my best with the shape of the shoe but the wire bent a little too much but I didn't pay it any mind. I added yarn to the Nike check because it gave it a little more detail than having it be completely simple.
This project was harder than I thought it would be. There were a lot of cuts involved and a lot of band-aids but it was worth it in the end.Who Am I?
I am De'Jon. A twelfth grader who's main goal is to get out of here. I love to dance and to try new things. I like to laugh so there's never a dull moment in my life. My only wish with this course is to learn more about this class and art in general. I have no type of knowledge about are beyond basic art where I left off in 8th grade.
