I am not sure what to categorize this blog on the assignment list but I really wanted to try something new and FUN-ish!
These first three pictures are taken from my actual sketchbook. The first one is what I like to call “my tribute to the 10th anniversary of 9/11” and was first just cut-outs from an art magazine. Most of the pictures in this sketch are explanatory but in case it is unclear, the smoke from black building of the Twin Towers is symbolizing the action of when the top part of the building collapsed downward. My second picture, to me, is not a very strong sketch compared to my many others but I find it uplifting and it was also my first water color (from a Crayola set, nothing fancy). The last sketch is a print I carved from a linoleum block which I then inked and put it in my sketchbook. Later, I came back in and added a little bit of watercolor to spice it up.
This was a project I did last year when I semi-taught (I had a basic how-to from my art teacher) myself how to do metalsmithing. It is all hand-made, not including the beads, copper necklace. Earlier today, I was ask I could make another one of these kind of tree necklaces except made with silver and have greenish beads instead. An idea was said that this would be a great business, if I made a lot and sold them. I truly feel like thriving artist growing everyday.
