I chose this piece to replicate because I like FMA. I loved the storyline and the quality if the animation and I easily became a fan of Full Metal Alchemist. I just thought that this piece of fan art was very well done and accurate so I wanted to replicate it myself. I had a few annoying problems with trying to color with oil pastels. There were a lot of details that were quite small and it was hard to blend the colors. I ended up using my pinky for the smallest details. Also, I couldn’t really figure out how to do the rays of light that were coming from the circle. I did the rays last though by using white to go over the other colors, it turned out fairly well. I think it is a very successful replication. The colors might be a bit off but there is the contrast between the shades that was right. You can definitely tell that my piece is from FMA, if you’ve seen it anyway. I’m happy with the piece and that is what makes it a success. Couldn’t find the artist because they blocked tumblr and its fan art



Figure Drawings My skills have improved in that I can actually draw people that look like people! I never really could draw realistic people and now I can, at least their outline anyways. I suppose I'm not too bad with theexact-o knife either. My decision making process was pretty straight forward. It was all more or less impulsive, I saw a patter in a magazine that I liked, I cut it out and used it on the figure. I saw beautiful fall leaves and I wanted to keep them so I glued them to my background. I did have problems trying to figure out what I wanted to do with the drawings. I kind of wanted to put leaves of them but didn't want the leaves I had to crumble. I finally gave in and grabbed a few magazines and started flipping pages. I cut out patterns and used them as cloths for my drawings. Yes, I'm fairly pleased. It's shinny and colorful but not in the too bright way. The figures ended up looking pretty good and I love the leaves.



Tape Sculpture The pose that my sculpture is in is a reading pose. I chose this pose because I like to read and there are so many different options to choose from. I decided to put the sculpture in the library because it’s a reading pose, obviously. There were not a whole lot of problems when I was actually getting wrapped up in tape, though there was one time when my sister accidently cut a hole in my shirt, which I was not very happy about. The feet and hands were the easiest and all turned out pretty well. The legs turned out okay as did the arms and head. Being able to use a mannequin head was a plus; it would have been rather uncomfortable to have my own head wrapped up. I think the easiest part was the actual piecing together of the limbs and head, there was hardly and trouble with it, although I needed to add on an inch or so to the neck because it was too short. Over all, I think this piece was a success because it didn’t collapse inwards and has an obvious human shape.



Social issue plan-Crohn's disease

I plan on having a few pictures, quotes and a short explanation of the disease. My colors will probably end up changing but I will be using purple because it is the color of the Crohn's disease ribbon.

Social issue Projects

I chose to do Crohn's because someone I know has recently been diagnosed with it and more and more cases are coming up. One decision that changed the outcome of my project is to down size, I had a third of the board cut off so save time for other things such as the SA for the class. There weren't many problems and I found making the background the most enjoyable part. I think I have fairly successfully stated my objects, to make people aware of Crohn's disease and possible get them to look into on their own time. I think the colors work surprisingly well, I basically just stuck to purple because that's the color of the Crohn's ribbon. The idea of using graphite was spontaneous and it ended well in my opinion. I should have moved the "C" to the left a bit more so I could fit the "'s" at the end of the word but it still works. If I could repeat this assignment I would use a bigger board, more words and put in a description of what Crohn's is.
