Creative Thinking: Personal Box

I focused on my Creative thinking in my Personal box project, The thought process of how I could express myself through this project and incorporate visual representations of my identity was a challenge. In a 3D art form, I tried conveying a message or an idea without being too evident. For example, making a human figure of me to show that I am still growing as a person would be too obvious to the message I am trying to convey, Instead, I sculpted a tree since in nature it symbolizes growth and coming of age in literacy. I tried to be creative with the construction of the box while keeping its box-like form. A lot of planning and research went into making the piece considering the fact that I wanted to make each side of the box distinct and unique from the other sides. I contributed some of my cultural background because it is a big part of my identity as well as my passion which is art.

Critical Thinking: Christmas tree tea light + Christmas ornaments

My project failed once therefore I had to redo the piece and figure out a better plan to make the final piece work. The building of the candle table light was difficult since it has to be sculpted in coil form. If they are not built in a day it is difficult to go back to it and render. Reflecting and critiquing my work, looking for improvements or what I could do better. Due to limited time I decided on rendering a fairly small sculpture in one class. It was more stable because. I decided to stick with layering coils on top of teacher other, making sure to scratch and score. – Drawing conclusions. For the ornaments I had to consider the weight of the piece since it cannot be too heavy to hang up a tree. The snowman piece especially ended up nicely because I had flattened it enough so that it doesn’t become too heavy but not too much that it becomes weak and beaks apart.
