Concentration 9 & 10


I was pleasantly surprised by this unit. I actually liked doing the plaster forms. I'm particularly happy with my first piece - the one where I injected red die on a condom filled with water and then put it inside a condom filled with plaster. I also like the red rim - I think it gives some dimension. I'm a little disappointed that the second one broke but I think its okay.

Intro to AP3D

My AP3D Goal:
I think my main goal for AP3D would be to remain calm. I'm pretty nervous about taking it just because I haven't worked in 3D since middle school so I really don't know if I will be good at it or if I like it. I think I have to adopt the mindset that things will go wrong when I create 3D art and that its just part of the process.

My personal goal:
I think this year everything is about balance. I feel like I am being pulled in a million different directions between school, family, and friends and so I have to find a way to fit it all in while making sure I have some non stress time to myself so I don't crash and burn (which I know will happen inevitability but I want to reduce the amount of times it happens). But I figured the way that I will remain sane is by making sure I have at least one night in alone on the weekend so if I want to I could watch a movie by myself or get work done that I'm feeling extra stressed about.


What is art?
Art for me is the purest form of letting yourself be completely vulnerable with creativity.

What is form?
The form of a work is its shape, including its volume or perceived volume. A three-dimensional artwork has depth as well as width and height. Three-dimensional form is the basis of sculpture.

There are some other terms commonly used to describe form and shape in composition; these have to do with what kind of representations the forms have. If we can recognize every day objects and environments, we refer to the images as being realistic, or naturalistic. However, if the images are difficult or impossible to identify in terms of our normal, daily visual experience, we may refer to the images as abstract.

Form and shape can also be described as either organic or geometric. Organic forms such as these snow-covered boulders typically are irregular in outline, and often asymmetrical. Organic forms are most often thought of as naturally occurring.
