Glass Half Full Project: + and - of Sleeping In

The concept for my Glass Half Full project was to draw two drawings: one showing the positives of sleeping in and the other showing the negatives. The process was relatively easy, I had an idea quickly and knew pretty much exactly what I wanted to do. I was mostly happy with the way it came out. Not completely, but I'm not the best drawer so it wasn't too bad. I got some feedback saying I should add some color to select elements of the drawings to emphasize them more. I used that advice and found that it worked well. The aspects of the project that I think were most successful was I did the best I could and was focused more than usual.

Found Object Sculpture Reflection

 

Mister Pierce

The concept for my sculpture was to make some sort of person. The idea came from the broken in half shell of a hand-held fan. The shape reminded me of a small person. I looked around for small objects for the nose and eyes, and I ended up finding other things that I could use for the rest of the body parts. Finally I thought I was done. I had feet, but it wouldn't stand up. So I found a piece of plastic that could be used as a base, then put rocks and shells on it so it wouldn't be so plain. I didn't really encounter any struggles, I think I was the first to be finished. Just because I did it fast doesn't mean I rushed through it, I'm happy with the way it turned out.

                                 

Found Images Collage Reflection

"View"

The idea for my collage was a view from the cockpit of a plane. The view would show a futuristic city with other planes and roads in the sky with cars. The process was relatively easy, all I had to do was find images from magazines that fit what I needed and paste them onto paper. I didn't really struggle with anything, but it got pretty tedious after a while. I discovered that my idea actually wasn't all that bad. I think it coming out the way I wanted was the successful part of the project for me.
