My name is Mitchell Diederich, and this is my piece of art I am half way done sculpting. I have titled this piece My Golf Club. The idea of a golf club came to me while I was searching online for what I could create. The Studio Habit of Mind I used with this project is I solve problems. The reason I chose this studio habit of mind is because I didn’t want my golf club to be straight down. First, I cut the tube down the middle the long way and rolled it to the right width I needed. This is so it looked like it dropped levels. Then for the head of the golf club, I took part of an egg carton coated the inside with glue and then paper mached around it. The element of art I used is form because the form of the golf club is unique cause it goes down in layers. Some terms that describe this golf club that I made are rough, and shiny, Rough, because after I paper mached it the club became a rough texture. Shiny, because I used acrylic paint so the paint wouldn’t wear off and it is shiny to make it look more like a golf club. In the making of this artwork I learned that there are many different ways to solve problems and that putting paper in something hollow reinforces it and that paper mache makes it stronger.
This is a project I made for school on the topic for bullying, its showing that you can see right through people that are bullied.
The studio habit I used in this artwork is I communicate through my work, because the window in the middle is the person being bullied and the spatter paint around the outside is everyone else. This artwork just started out as a usual splatter painting and then the idea came to me and then I started. After the splatter painting was done I took and exacto knife and I cut a a whole in the middle. Then I had to search for something I could use for the window, and I found saran wrap and I hot glued that to the back. Two elements of art I used in this artwork are color and texture, I used contrasting and bright colors in it and the texture looks rough and bumpy cause theirs more paint in some areas than others and it built up. This art used my own unique ideas because I wanted to make something that actually works and and with only one bow it didn't fire as far so I made one exactly like it. I am working on ideas how to connect them, once they are connected and I connect the strings it fires two time farther and is way more accurate. I didn’t use any source I thought of this all by myself and it is an original artwork.
This is the artist that we all know as Vincent Van Gogh. He is one of my favorite artist because he had some really interesting things happen to him. Some people say that Van Gogh severed his own earlobe and other say that he got in a fight and it was cut off. He even made a painting of what happened to his ear.
This artist art medium is oil painting because he uses the oils to blend the colors like in the painting Starry Night and the painting Sunflowers. He used the art elements of color in the painting Starry Night, by mixing the blue and the yellow together and texture so it look like the mountains in the back are real. |
