Original Piece: Torrie Smiley My Piece

I chose this art work as my piece because I've always wanted to be a Ballerina but, never had the chance too. The body language in this piece is very touching and shows a lot of emotion in her dancing. Emotional art work is what I mostly get a feel for because it gives me a way of thinking of what she might be doing in the piece or even what she is thinking. I love the detail of her Tu-Tu and the way she is standing gets my attention. Another, interesting part about this piece is the details in color to the background gives more eye on the girl itself.

Throughout the process of making this beautiful piece I struggled through many challenges that I had to fix and find a way to make it work. While I was doing the grid the most difficult part of all was making the hands and feet, the feet were the most difficult the way she is standing a here tippy toes made it very hard but, I took the grid and made it into smaller squares doing little piece by little. The hands was the curve of her wrist I did the same as I did with the feet. Another, Big obstacle was getting the skin color just the color I wanted. It took a lot of covering up the color I used before to get the color I wanted, I had to use a little bit of brown, orange, pink and some black to make the color that was needed.

As to my final piece I would be pretty successful with the outcome. It did take a lot of fixing and doing things over and over again. But, for the most part I am very pleased with what I made. I never thought I had the artistic abiltlities to make it as well as I did. One thing that isn't working so well for me on this piece was her hair, I believe if I took more time I could make the bun more texture to it. If I could re do this project again I would most defiantly do the back ground and something different instead of pastels I don't like the way it blended to me it looks very sloppy.



I chose this kind of piece because I really like the effect of the different colors. Green, Yellow and red are some pretty colors when put together. I thought putting the gesture drawings with their color would look really cool, almost to keep them hidden. I really like the detail in the different shades of color throughout my background. I don't really have any personal connection to what I chose. Just something that came to thought.

Through out this piece I had struggled with finding the colors I needed to use in my background through magazines. It took a lot of time looking. I also, had trouble with putting the magazine pieces on my gesture drawings. I had to cut them just right for them to fit on my gesture drawings just right. It was very time consuming and I'm very patient.

As my final piece I was somewhat of the outcome but, I know if I had more time to work on it it would of came out a lot better. But, as my final piece I do like it. I could of worked on putting the magazine pieces on gesture drawings a little better then what I did. This project was very boring and I didn't really care for this one. If I ever get the opportunity to do this again I will defiantly think of something better to do as a background

Kayleen & Tatianna Tape Sculpture



Throughout are Tape Sculpture we had to do first find out what kind of pose and location would fit the best. For our sculpture we don't have a certain location. It really just depends on were the #Cmswag crew uses it throughout there taping for the update every friday. Also, we had to find ways to get out figure to stand on its own because it doesn't have a certain place to stay so we had to make sure it was sturdy enough to go through anything.

Going through this process we thought it would be easy but, then we started to walk into problems that needed to be fixed. One of the biggest issues was getting our figure to stand on its own. we first tried putting marbles in the feet which helped for awhile but then again gravity started to pull down our sculpture making it lean. We stuffed the whole Tape sculpture with bubble wrap and used yard sticks in both legs and through the torso. This helped so much that now it stand on its own without any help.

We believe that this was a very successful piece of work which took a lot problem solving. But, the outcome was a success. It is a long piece of art but when all finished and done you can take a breather of excitement. We even had extra time to give it some hair and fix some other errors that would make our piece even more successful If I had the chance to do this again I would most likely go with a sitting figure then standing.
