My limitation was taping a paint brush to one end of a meter stick and holding the other end to control and paint my piece. This was very hard because the meter stick didn't always go where I wanted it to. It was hard to hold it and paint something 3 feet away from me. Controlling the meter stick was very hard and sometimes it would get flimsy and paint a line somewhere where it wasn't supposed to be. I overcame these problems by taking my time and taking breaks when my arm would get weak. Surprisingly, it was easier to control the meter stick with one hand to paint my piece instead of using two hands.

I learned how to shape clay and make different pieces stick together. I also learned what the various clay tools are used for. In my opinion, I think this piece was successful because it really looks like a turtle. My favorite part of this piece are the legs because they look like a real turtle's legs, with the wrinkles on the knees. If I were to do this project again, I would try to do a better job painting it and I would add more detail to the shell. Inspiration for ideas is feeding off other people's concepts and making it our own, or inspiration is looking at the people and things around you and coming up with an idea. Stealing an idea is taking someone's inspiration and using all of their thoughts and suggestions. In my opinion, I think that it is completely okay for someone to take a part of someones else's idea and change it, or give them credit because you aren't stealing it - you are using it and giving credit where it is due. In my final piece, I wanted to combine a spray can and the galaxy because I really wanted to paint the galaxy. I chose to use a spray can because I thought it would be really cool if it could spray the entire universe. I used paint for a medium because I was thinking about what would look most realistic for a galaxy. I really like working with paint because I could make a variety of different colors. If I could change one thing about my piece I would change the stars and make the universe more shiny. In my opinion the most successful part is the colors in the galaxy and how they combine and fade. |
