I wanted to make a small stained glass mosaic, since I've done some other glass mosaic projects in the past and had some materials left over that I could use-some small sheets of glass that were dark blue, blue-gray, yellow, white, and opalescent. I was inspired to do a shooting star by the theme from my marble drop project that I had just completed.I first had to transfer the sketch of my design onto the wood tile and mark what color glass was going to go where. Then I began to cut smaller pieces from the glass sheets to fill up the spaces.Once I filled up a section, I glued the pieces down to the wood. Once all the spaces are filled and the glass pieces glued down, I will grout the spaces between the glass pieces to seal the wood and permanently set the pieces.<br />
One thing I think I did successfully was that I found a good design that would work with the glass that I had. I would have liked to have finished it before the end of the semester, but unfortunately I was sick for almost a week with an upper respiratory infection and couldn't work on it.<br />

The theme for my marble drop is a mix of stars, space, and sun and moon. If I had to come up with a title for it, I'd call it "somewhere up above the stars". I don't really know how, when, or why this particular idea came to me; it sort of just popped into my head. <br />
<br />
To come up with ideas for the marbled drop, I thought of things in the night sky (the moon, clouds, constellations,
shooting stars/comets) and things related to space (planets,
rocket ships, suns/stars). I had a much grander vision for this project than I was able to make, but some of the ideas from that original idea were used in the final design. For example, the rocket was originally going to be where the marble landed and the sun was going to be a wheel for the marble to land in. <br />
<br />
The most difficult thing about this project was the depth perception required for planning out the design. I had to redo my design sketch at least twice because my box was too small.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
The marble travels through cardboard tracks, in different shapes- three are flat square tracks, one is half a cardboard tube, and two are more triangular. I made my own tracks out of cardboard. I cut thin pieces of cardboard into 1-in. strips, taped them together either in a pair or in a group of three, painted both sides black, measured the size the track would have to be to fit in the marble drop, hot glued the outer edges together, taped over the glued edge, then finally painted over the tape. After they were glued into place, I brushed some watered-down glue onto the front side of the track and dusted on some black glitter.<br />
<br />
If I could change anything, I would change the box- make it slightly bigger and make the walls of the box straighter.<br />
<br />
I'm proud of the whole piece, and I love the way it turned out.<br />

For this project, I went with a theme of societal norms and following your heart.<br />
<br />
First, I cut cover so that it would divide the book into nine sectors for the figures. I went on Google and looked for a model to use as the figure by looking up paper dolls. When I found one that I thought would work best, I traced the model onto the cover page and began to cut into the book. I had a great deal of trouble cutting into this book, as the pages kept ripping. Eventually it became too frustrating, so I gave up trying to cut through to the back cover and began painting. <br />
<br />
For the paint, I went for a minimalistic approach to show contrast between the layers, and also so that the different middle figure would stand out more. I was originally was going to drip watercolor paint onto the middle figure, but ran into two problems: I couldn't come up with a good plan of action for it, and I was running out of time for my marble drop. So, I went with a much simpler idea: to paint a small red heart in the middle figure.<br />
<br />
One thing I did successfully was how I painted the book because it had exactly the effect I wanted. One thing I would change about this project is the book that I used because it was a little too small, and the paper was surprisingly stubborn and hard to cut.

For my Texture project, I chose to take the word "pressure" rather literally and make a sculpture of metamorphic rock.<br />
At first, I had some difficulty in carving the curved lines on the clay. However, I got lucky: the person in front of me had cut a slab of clay and left a textured pattern on top that was perfect for my piece. The only problem with this was that I couldn't throw it to get rid of trapped air bubbles, so I eventually had to carve the bottom of the slab out. For the crystals, I molded some small bits of clay, stuck them onto the slab, and covered the bottoms of them with slip to make it seem like they were coming out of the slab. After I finished painting, I coated the crystals with a gloss to make them shinier.Kristin P.http://www.blogger.com/profile/08082841324783276623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034014772657798842.post-57826920019229541792013-12-25T15:59:00.002-08:002013-12-25T15:59:37.551-08:00Land ArtPinterest page: <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/kristinpflug/land-art/">http://www.pinterest.com/kristinpflug/land-art/</a><br />

Land art is a form of art made from natural materials or nature itself. It can be any size, from small rocks and leaves to entire fields and shorelines. It is always temporary, wiped away by nature.<br />
<br />
<br />Kristin P.http://www.blogger.com/profile/08082841324783276623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034014772657798842.post-74740149798775363592013-12-11T11:14:00.000-08:002013-12-11T11:14:20.714-08:00Relief Art<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Low relief, or bas-relief, is when forms are slightly raised from
the background. High relief is when the forms are raised at a far enough
distance from the background that they look disconnected from the
surface. Sunken relief is the opposite of low and high relief; instead
of the forms being raised off the background, they are cut deeply into
the surface.<br />
For my Relief project, I chose to do an altered book because I wanted to
try something different and it seemed like an interesting idea. My
piece is a sunken type of relief, since I cut into the book to create a
3D scene. First, I had to choose a book that was the size and thickness I
wanted. I drew the design I wanted to make and planned it out as a
3-dimensional picture: which parts were going to be which layer and how
thick each of those layers were going to be. I numbered each layer from
foreground to background, starting at 1 (the bird) and ending at 5 (the
sky). This was also the order in which I would cut them. Then came the
long process of cutting the pages. Basically, I would take five pages at
the top of the layer, place a cutting board under them, cut the design
out until I had cut through the five pages, then repeat until each layer
was finished. This part took me at least two weeks to finish. After I
had finished cutting the book, I painted the layers in bright colors and
painted the rest of the book black. For the front cover and third page,
I created stencils that I cut out and traced onto the book, then filled
in with silver Sharpie. I also used the silver Sharpie for the lyrics
on the first and second pages. For the back cover, I copied the logo for
the Coldplay song "Up With The Birds", which was my inspiration for
this piece. I used gold Sharpie for the bird and a blue-green acrylic
paint that I bought for the circle surrounding it. <br />
I
am most proud of two things: that this piece turned out as amazingly as
it did, and that I actually finished this at all (at least before the
semester ended). The book turned out exactly as I pictured and hoped it
would, and there is nothing at all I would change about it.<br />

To make my little narwhal, I took a piece of clay about the size of my fist and cut it into three sections. With two of the sections I created two pinch pots out of clay and attached them together. After pushing the ends of each pot together, I filled in the rest of the seam with slip. I took bits and pieces of the third section to make the tail and the horn. For the tail, I attached a rolled-up piece of clay to the back of the sphere, then attached cut-outs of the tail fins. I once again used slip to cover up the seams. I used the remainder of the third section of clay to make the horn. Finally, I poked out the blowhole of the narwhal that would let the air out of the sphere.Kristin P.http://www.blogger.com/profile/08082841324783276623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034014772657798842.post-40057598550362608492013-10-23T16:14:00.001-07:002013-10-23T16:14:39.407-07:00Vessel Projects<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For this vessel project, the medium I used was clay. I chose clay because I took a lot of art classes that worked with clay when I was a kid, so I knew a little bit about how to work with it. This vessel is supposed to be a candleholder, big enough to hold a small- to medium-sized candle.<br />
My process for this was pretty simple.First, I rolled out the clay to make a flat sheet, then measured out the dimensions I wanted for the candleholder. After that, I cut out the clay according to those measurements. For the design, I used a marker top and a small jar that I pressed into the clay to leave the imprints. I made sure to press hard enough to leave a deep enough indent without pressing through the clay. On one side, I cut out the smaller circles and the large inner circle, leaving the indent around the large circle. The scratches at the bottom of the sides were a mistake; I had planned to wrap a clay strip around the bottom, but ended up running out of time. Also, the strip I was going to use ended up being too dry. I chose a gray glaze for the outside to make the design pop out, and I used the blue for the inside to contrast the gray and yellow outside.<br />

For this vessel project, I decided to make a pencil holder made of pencils. I chose to use pencils because I thought it was funny and creative. This vessel will hold pencils, pens, other assorted office supplies, or anything else I feel like putting into it.<br />
This project took a lot longer for me to do. First I had to decide what pattern to use: whether I'd use sharpened or unsharpened pencils, how I would arrange them, etc. I decided to use unsharpened wooden pencils because I knew I had a great many of them in my desk that I knew I would never use. So, I gathered my many unused wooden pencils. I also decided to use cheap novelty erasers for the bottom and bought a piece of craft wood for the base. Putting together the pencils, I found out superglue was not an effective bonding agent for gluing pencils together. Luckily, I remembered I had gotten safety-orange duct tape for my birthday, so I just used that. I would take the number of pencils that I needed for one side, lined them up in the order I wanted them in, put a square of cardboard over them to make it rigid, and put strips of duct tape down. Once all the sides were taped, I taped the corners together to make the box. I took the project in to hot glue the edges and do the finishing touches. I also tried to glue the erasers onto the base, but found out hot glue was not an effective bonding agent for gluing cheap erasers onto craft wood. I later glued them on using tacky glue.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Starry Night</i> is a painting by the Dutch
post-impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh, and is one of his most well-known
works. Painted in June 1889, Starry Night was inspired by the view outside of
his sanitarium room window at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (located in southern
France). Unlike van Gogh’s earlier painting <i>Starry Night Over the Rhone</i>,
which holds many similarities to Starry Night, the new night scene was painted
in daylight, all from memory. The center part of the painting shows a quiet
village by the mountains under a swirling star-filled sky. The village was
partially invented and the church spire has been said to be a tribute to his
home country, the Netherlands. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
cypress tree to the left was later added into the composition. Art historian
Joachim Pissarro cites <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Starry Night</i>
as an example of van Gogh's fascination with the night. This painting has been
in the permanent collection of the Manhattan Museum of Modern Art in New York
City since 1941. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Starry Night</i> has
been the subject of poetry, fiction, and the well known song "Starry,
Starry Night" by Don McLean. Some people have speculated about the eleven
stars in the painting and its possible connection to the story of Joseph in the
Old Testament (Genesis 37:9). One of van Gogh’s other paintings, Sunset at
Montmajour, has just recently been discovered after sitting in a Norwegian
attic since the early 1900s; it is the first full-size work by van Gogh to be
discovered since 1928.</div>
