just desserts

Well, we have been doing a art project. Now I am not sure how this project got so out of proportion however we are making large mosaic portraits of ourselves using skittles, now you may be thinking "thats a neat ideal" however in execution you end up with a tedious and messy project that makes you hate skittles. yep i hate skittles now, the candy is forever ruined.
also you end up eating a lot of skittles, some of witch may or may not have come in contact with glue.

The dark side of art

Shadow art!
played around with shadow puppets as a kid, do it again with art!
making shadows on the wall
using old slide projectors and a dark classroom we made shadow art by cutting out shapes! who doesn't like shapes ?
Look at these shapes
so we made African plane shadow thing art
its like the lion king or something

whats the value of learning this?

We are going over the basics of shading and value scales. making shaded portraits.

I think that getting pencil to not be reflective in photos is nearly impossible.but I really need to work on drawing portraits, im not too happy with my ability to draw the human head.

sooooo.. anyone like the pun in the title?

tape holds the future together

Masking Tape project



For art we split in to groups based on things that we thougt were important, and did murals using masking tape like the artist Buf Diss. I liked how the final mural came out, we did a path to the future with symbols along the way. in the group I was the one that planned the ideal and then we built upon it improving the design with suggestions and improvisations along the way. the mural is nice, the biggest accomplishment was making masking tape bend without folding on its self to make nice curvy lines; wich was also the biggest challenge.
