For this project, we started out with a little mini pratice tile, so i decided that i wanted to do an elephant with its body hanging off the tile on the edges a little bit, and i did designs in the body of the elephant and cut away around the outside of the outline of its body to create the relief ( i have the drawing pictured above the actual tile is lost somewhere in this room). I was pretty happy with that, but for my final big tile i thought i wanted to do something a little different so instead of cutting away from the tile i was just going to add more to it to make it 3 dimensional. I always do animals for basically any art project i ever do so i wanted to do something different so i decided to do roses and i would make them popping off of the tile. I thought that this piece was pretty successful, i liked the texturing that i got in the leaves and it was really challenging to get all of the rose's petals to still together and be one mass but i think that they turned out really well after i figured out how to do it. One thing i would change is the way that i painted it ( i entered it in the art show before i got a picture of it painted whoops) the colors are very very vibrant and dark which can sometimes be nice but that is really not at all what i was going for and if i could go back and change that i would but overall i would say this was a pretty successful piece.
for this project we were to work with our table members to create relief using cardboard and cutting away from the main piece and/or adding to it to create dimension. Tess and i decided that we wanted to do flowers because it seemed like a really cool way that we could display all of the different textures from the cardboard in the leaves and petals and grass as well as try to make it really pop at and be 3D. I really really actually enjoyed working with the cardboard despite how hard it is to get it to do what you want it to do and it is extremely hard to cut. One thing i would think that we should go back and do given more time is maybe add even more grass in there to make the piece more full and better compositionally but i liked this project a lot and would definitely want to do it again.
