This is a test of your creativity and ability to use the Creative Process. ON TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 21 you will need to bring in the finished product of your assignment. THERE BLOG COMPONENT is the leave a comment explaining how you used the Creative Process - 1. Inspiration, 2. Research, 3. Practice, 4. Creation, 5. Evaluation!
I want each of you to take 1 sheet of regular paper (blank printer paper or lined notebook paper - your choice!) and create a work of art! REMEMBER that a work of art is something that has a strong IDEA behind it and is STIMULATING! The final product could fall under Fine Art, Craft, of Design. You can use any art tool you want - a pencil, markers, paint, found objects, a camera, a computer program, etc.
REMEMBER TO BRING THE FINISHED PRODUCT WITH YOU TO CLASS ON TUESDAY! NO LATE ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED! If you are not in class, you MUST get the artwork to me before the beginning of Thursday's class. YOU WILL NOT BE GRADED ON YOUR ART SKILLS BUT ON HOW YOU USED THE CREATIVE PROCESS.
1. My inspiration was the Texas star.
ReplyDelete2. My research was online to look to see what it looked like.
3. I practiced drawing it to make sure it looks good for the final creation.
4. I took paper pieces and made a star. I also colored it.
5.I liked the way it looks.
SAMPLE BLOG POST:
ReplyDelete1. I found inspiration in one of my favorite shirts. It has a really cool pattern to it and I like to colors too (pink, green, and gold). So I used the same colors but came up with my own pattern.
2. I research other patterns by looking on the internet and going to the library. I also found a cool website that walks you through how to create your own original pattern. It was interactive so I made the pattern online then printed it out. I was pretty happy with the results so I used the print out to trace the pattern on to my piece of paper.
3. I ended up making 3 different practice items before I really figured out how I wanted to final product to look. My first practice was using watercolor to paint in the colors of the pattern but I got impatient and didn't wait for one color to dry before I added the second one so they bled together and looked aweful. So then I decided to try markers and that worked a lot better but I wasn't happy with just a flat drawing.
4. For my final creation/art object, I decided to make a little mini shirt with the paper! So, in the end, I was inspired by the pattern colors, and style of the shirt. I even used my sewing machine to stitch the collar and shirt together and really like the texture it gives the little sculpture.
5. Overall I really like how my mini shirt came out. I would love to actually make this on a real life scale, but it would take a lot of space and time to draw that pattern on a piece of paper 10 times the size so, for now, the mini size is good enough! I also would like to create new patterns and work on colored paper to see what other results I can come up with - back to step #2!

ReplyDelete1. My inspiration is based on a damaged fender on my motor cycle and how I could hide it.
2. What would fit my personality and the scoot?
My family crest uses the mythological creature the griffin. I thought "perfect" I can cut a silhouette out off a semiprecious metal and mount it over the damaged fender. My research started in my head and then for some help I went to Google Images and printed out various designs.
3. I started doing rough sketches then moved to Microsoft Paint to do some silhouettes and tweak my design.
4. I had to choose a metal that would work, easy to cut with the tools I had and sturdy enough it would last. I asked a friend and he said to go to the metal and pipe shop. I bought a piece of the smallest stuff they had, but too tough to work with and there is no reasonable chromer in town. I went to Lowes hardware in hopes to find something but everything was too light. I ended up at Hobby Lobby and found the right size and strength of materials, copper and a piece of aluminium. I used one of the silhouettes and pasted it to the metal and began to roughly cut the shape out. I then used a Dremel to cut and shape the finer detail.
5. It was a difficult process doing the detail and the project needs a little more work. I will probably use this one as the prototype knowing now how the material and the tools respond to each other.
1. My inspiration was my dogs
ReplyDelete2. I didn't have to do any research
3. I practiced drawing and cutting it
4. I drew a dog on a piece of paper and then cut it out, colored, and made a card.
5. It was cute
1. My inspiration was ironing and sewing patches on my wrk uniforms.
ReplyDelete2. My research was when I looked in uniform catalog, and saw all the designs. So that interested me to go to hobby lobby and wal-mart to find patches to iron or sew onto my wrk uniforms. Also, this makes me and my co-workers to find and keep our job interesting.
3.I practice just laying them on the uniform straight just to make sure they are on right. then i either iron or sew hte patches on.
4. For this assignment i had to go to hobby lobby and get some extra patches to iron on sheet of white paper to show the class and Mrs. Specht.
5. This was not a different project to do. It is just fun and depend on the paches i put on the uniforms. It is also to promote our busy .
1. My inspiration was a combination of an article I had read and something on the Science Channel involving space.
ReplyDelete2. I had to research how to use Photoshop. I've used it in the past but only for basic stuff like cropping or resizing an image. I also had to find photos that would fit what I was trying to do.
3. It took a couple tries and a lot of tweaking to get it where I was at least satisfied. I tried it with different background and foreground images until I found the ones I wanted. Then it was on to tweaking the colors.
4. I ended up going with a house on a moon that had a space nebula in the background. For some reason it reminded me of an old cartoon called Courage the Cowardly Dog, so I threw him in as well.
5. I still not 100% satisfied with it, but with my limited Photoshop skills it will have to do. The house somehow ended up looking like it was a 3D model, but it started as a picture of a real house.
1. my inspiration is a Cross, Faith and my daughter.
ReplyDelete2. i didnt have to do any research
3. i practiced drawing the cross and writing the word faith until i thought it was perfecct in my eyes.
4. i drew it on a peice of paper and printed out a picture of my daughter
5. i liked it
1. I was inspired while going through old memories..where I had old things that my husband had created for me like a rose made up of paper, and other things.
ReplyDeleteso i wanted to do my creation in something similar..
2. I first ask my husband, but he said it was too long ago and didn't remember some steps. So i went to the internet to help me do it..
3.I had to do about 4 practice with the art.. it was hard folding little parts in the paper, making it even.
4. when i was doing the creation i did stick with my plan, i knew what i wanted it to look, and it did after 5 practice.
5.It turned awsome.. I love it and it means alot to me because it reminds me about old memories..

ReplyDeleteI got my inspiration from a movie where a serial killer left origami with his victims. I saw the various animals and thought it was pretty interesting. So, I began researching different types of origami before I settled on trying to make a Lilly flower. This turned out to be quite a task. Who knew folding paper could be so incredibly difficult? I tried a few dozen times without ever really getting all the way through.Instead of flowers, they all turned out looking like "lanterns" as my niece called them. I guess I bit off more than I could chew. I also chose origami because I figured many people wouldn't try it. Now I know why! What a misshapen mess.
My inspiration for this project was my daughter. She has turned 12 years old. I needed some ideas for her party that would be decorative, serve a purpose and be easy on the pocketbook. She loves anything with zebra stipes animal print on it. So i knew what my main theme would be.
ReplyDeleteI didnt really want to draw zebra stripes, so I got online and found a site that had many printable types of patterns. I printed a zebra print on my printer paper.From there I hadto figure out what I could make from my paper at this point. I must admit, I was a little curious about origami, after it was mentioned in class.
I got on the internet, and looked up everything I could find about origami. I found the literal definition, the history, different types, mathematics and the changes over the years and cultures of oragami. I found a site that demonstrated how anyone could make different oaragami items, like the traditional crane to practical items made by recycable paper such as newspaper or gift wrap. I picked a cone shape that could be used to hold a snack, trinkets, toys, candy or any other type of small treasure. I began folding and folding. It took me several times to figure it out. I had several scrap papers that I never completed. I finally figured out before i begin the actual folding, I needed to make my paper equal on all sides. That one extra fold before I started making the actual cone, made the dimensions correct. I then made a cone that was fully functional. I made one last complete cone, I wanted to make sure my folding was as straight and accurate as possible. I used a few dabs of hot glue to make sure it was tacked in place. I added one last touch by putting gluing a cute red bow, making it pleasing to the eye. All girls love frills and bows.
At this point, I was proud. This cute little cone treasure box would actually be something I would use at my daughter's party, or any other party with any theme you can imagine.
