Perspective Drawing

For my perspective drawing I decided to do a top-down perspective of a concepted city. Above, you can see the finished image of my perspective city. While I was making this I used several reference photos of cities like New York, and Chicago but from the top-down point of view. During the duration of the drawing I became more acquainted to perspective viewing of cities, especially from the top down view. I also became more known to how to shade from different angles on a top down point of view on a city. Below is a rough draft image of what i was going to do with the picture.

Pokeball
Artists Collaborate
I had help figuring out what i wanted to do for this project, and also how to go about doing it.
I was helped when figuring out whether or not I wanted just the pokeball, or if i wanted more in the background of the piece. 
Artists Take Risks
I wasn't entirely sure if I wanted to the Pokeball or not; however, after consideration I'd decided it was what I was sure i wanted to do.
Creating an extra connection from the Pokeball to the edges of the piece could have been unneeded in the piece and could've even worked against the piece. Although I feel as if it made the piece almost pop out more.

Unconventional Material

Pc Tron Disc
Artist Collaboration
I had a lot of help from others in this project.
For starters i had help actually coming up with the idea of turning this pc disc into a tron disc.
I had to use the tape from inside the disc to make the disc look more solid so i needed help getting the tape out of the disc itself.
I also had help trying to figure out how to make the fluorescent color for the disc lining.
Artists Take Risks
I had to take a risk with whether or not i wanted to take out the tape from inside, if i hadn't of liked the way it looked wrapped around the disc then it would've been a lot of wasted time.
Also when i put the neon paint on the disc and hadn't liked the way it was then i would've had to start again with getting the tape out.

After visiting artist

1) My expectations lined up exactly i thought they would.
2) I wasn't sure how to do the wire and wrapping it.
3) The body was somewhat proportional.

before visiting artist

1) Bryant Holsenbeck is an artist that does sculptures of animals and living things made from non living, abiotic, manufactured items.
2) I expect her to have a very artistic attitude.
3)i don't expect my project to go as planned
4) I plan to do an lion cub

Questions

Did you learn new techniques or processes as part of the work for this project? 

Yes. I learned how to make a mug first of all, plus i learned a lot about clay and clay making materials.
Did you gain skill with familiar materials?

I learned an easier way to score and slip and keeping the clay from drying out.

Questions

When did you step back and analyze you work during this project?

Before it was bisqued I made sure it was what i wanted from what i was making
Did you consider how ideas would work before you tried them?

Yes, i thought about making a bowl before realizing i can't have tea very successfully in a bowl.

Artists Collaborate

I had other students look at my work to make sure everything was level and proportional. Miss Sudkamp had helped me with learning how to clean glaze off parts of the piece so the colors wouldn't mix.
