Sculpture

The theme of this story was to make art that tells a story. The message of my piece was to seize the day, also known as carpe diem. The idea of carpe diem is based all around time. A clique object that makes me people think of time is an hour glass. I incorporated the sun and the moon into the hour glass to represent day going into night. I found this image on the internet and and somewhat used it in my piece. 

I made my piece original by putting the sun and moon into the hour glass and not copying the exact details of the sun and moon. Over all I pleased with this project. 

DC Trip

The trip to DC was fun and tiring. I was running on three hours of sleep the entire day, but the trip was well worth it. We explored the art museums and also the DC area itself. It was cherry blossom season, which made the surrounding area even more beautiful. Here are some of the pictures I took of my favorite art pieces, and some I took of the scenery.

 

Perspective

The theme of this project was perspective and what fuels me. Music is my main inspiration and motivator in my daily life. One of my favorite bands is the Beatles. In this project I tried to recreate their album cover Abbey Road. The album cover uses one point perspective. 

I decided not to include any people or cars in the picture to simplify it. My medium of choice was chalk pastels, a rather hard medium to work with. I had trouble blending and keeping this project neat. I am not very pleased with the results but I like my concept.
