Monochromatic
Theme: Identity
Medium: Mixed Media
My identity monochromatic is based off ocean pollution because I am really concerned about the amount of waste ending up in our ocean. I want a career in marine biology, so I hope to bring awareness to this waste problem. In this piece I took risks because I've never worked with this medium before and I added some complimentary colors even though it is a monochromatic. I also used my global awareness to focus on our plastic filled oceans,
Scholastic 144
Theme: Motherhood
Medium: Clay
I'm going to explore motherhood through a vessel as a metaphor for a mother carrying her child and I'm then going to show transitions through pregnancy by applying figures to my vessel. I am going to through my vessel on the wheel and then sculpt my figures on it.
These are my in progress photos, my ladies have ended up less detailed, with a primitive shape. I enjoy the simplistic route that I ended up going.
I just need to glaze my piece clear.
I used my own personal voice and style for my project. I also developed sculpting skills when i made this piece.
Metamorphosis
Theme: Mermaid
Medium: Clay
I am going to create a vessel on the and then sketch back on to it my idea of metamorphosis through the beautiful mythical mermaid. I am also going to add on the the waves seen in the pottery photo above. My idea is to show the magic of transforming from human to mermaid because I always wished I could do that.
These are my in progress photos, I have an outline going so far
I used my personal voice in this piece because I explored the change from human to mermaid, my childhood dream. I also explored developing my carving skills through this piece, I am not the best at it but I took a risk and tried something new!
Social Commentary
Theme: Social media leading to suicide
Medium: Clay
I'm going to create a vessel to represent a human and then I am going to create social media logos (as seen in the first photo) to push through my vessel. I am doing this to represent suicide by social media.
In progress photos, my vessel is thrown now I'm making the social media logos.
This is my final piece, I used my global awareness when I made this.I am also communicating the problem of cyber bullying through my work. Many teens are being bullied on social media and its resulting in a lot of lost lives due to suicide. Suicide is now the second leading cause of death in America.
