Armor Piece

I had an idea to make an armor piece based off the terracotta warriors armor that i would make out of a bunch of tiles and the wire them together. i think i am going to pit fire it in the end to give it a really cool look. but this picture is the style that i'm shooting for.

Finished Shocking Piece

Here is a picture of my finished shocking piece. Although i am still going to clean up the base a bit more and repaint it again to get a better finish on it. I really got the reactions I was looking for on this project because a lot of people immediately thought that it was directed in a negative way at them. I'm still not sure what to call it but i like the idea of "fork you".

Shocking Piece

so over the weekend I had this idea to line a bunch of forks up and bend them so it looks like a hand flipping someone off. Here is a picture of one of the forks that I made. I was shooting for showing how people automatically assign a human trait to an inanimate object such as a fork.

This is the piece I am working on in place of the guest artist piece that I missed out on. It's just a simple pitcher form but I squeezed in the sides once it was put together which gave it an interesting look. I still have to do a few touch ups with the handle and spout.

AP art retreat reflection

I thought that the art retreat was a great time to get to know everyone. We had great group bonding time that I thought made everyone more comfortable with each other. Although I missed the guest artist I saw some of the work and it looked great. I did enjoy the second day's art project though. I think that it's a different kind of art that is really fun to go out and do and it was perfect for the setting out there. Plus it was really cool to see what everyone did for there Andy Goldsworthy project. Overall I had a fun time and would do it again. Here are some pictures of my project.
