Adobe Illustrator

These are my flowers and what I like to call sunbursts that I made in Adobe Illustrator. I had the most fun changing the colors of my flowers and sunburst.

Clay

 For the clay project we started in the ipad lab to brainstorm without needing to waste clay. This is one of the best items that I created in the ipad lab and was my original inspiration for my final clay project.
We then went back to the trailer to create clay rattles. I decided on the design of a rhinunicorn (rhinoceros/unicorn) for my inspiration. When I was finished with the overall shape and began working on the texture I decided to take one of the ears off and put a sort of burn mark on the right top side of the rhinunicorn's head and put 3 holes in the wound.

Zentangles

 Zentangles are when you simply create random designs based on lines, curves, and shapes. It is easiest with multiple people to build your shapes off of so that the zentangle can grow a lot quicker and cover a larger area.
 It is also helpful to have multiple people because a lot of the time their ideas are different than what you might have done so it creates more variety.
The hardest part of this project was creating different designs. As we got to the later days of the project a lot of our zentangles started to look the same and we had trouble creating a bigger variation to them.

Forced Perspective

The forced perspective project was all about.....perspective. It was most fun finding different ways that we could use perspective to get pictures that no one else might think of. Creativity was very important and there were so many options to use. They key to forced perspective was understanding the use of foreground and background. The hardest part of many of the pictures was getting the two objects to line up perfectly to make it believeable.
