Cardboard Self Portrait Project

I chose to build a hinge out of cardboard. I chose this hinge to represent me becuase I see myself as adaptable and moveable. I built the hinge to 20x proportions. This hinge challenged me becuase I had to figure out how to make the moveable and rotating pieces that function. I enjoyed this project becuase it challenged me and my craftsmen skills. 

Wooden Vehicle Project

This is my boat that I made for the wooden vehicle project. This sailboat could transport people or anything else you put on it. I chose to build a boat becuase I was interested the challenge of building a curved wooden hull. I made the hull by stacking pieces of wood then sanding them. I made the sail and mast by measuring and cutting the rods and fabric.

For this project we used acrylic paint to try to picture our school shoes. This was supposed to be an intro in this type of painting. I learned many skills to use on future projects; I learned that you should a light and dark brush as well as a blender.

This is the final version of my still life self portrait. I used color pencils. I learned alot and think I definitely used the skills I learned in future projects.
I really liked the freedom given and the oppurtuinity to describe myself through a still life.
