Post Cards

For my 2D design class I had to make 4 postcards, and boy was it fun. I cut up a cereal box and covered the smooth picture side with paper, or paint, and then I just wrote the words and address on the cardboard side. 

This one is obviously a giraffe, I sent this one to my older sister Eileen. 

This one is obviously a bird on a branch, I sent this one to my older sister Lawna.

This one is obviously a bee, and I sent this one to my grandma Koyle. 

This one is not as obvious, but it is the ocean and the sun and there are a lot of animals and things in the ocean. I sent this one to my older sister Robin.

Shape and value; I cut out the black pieces and glued them onto a gray piece of paper and then used chalk pastel for the value.

Guatemala

Apparently Guatemala has art too. Who would have thought? These pictures are of my missionary, Elder Andersen, in the Guatemala City South Mission. 

Give Hugs

So in the Aggie parking terrace there is an elevator and it is by far thee sketchiest elevator I have ever rode in. It is right by the LLC which houses a bunch of freshman college students. Some of these college freshman are apparently very immature because they are ALWAYS writing and drawing inappropriate things inside the elevator. And the janitors are ALWAYS spray painting over the inappropriate things inside the elevator. So one day I went into the elevator, hoping I wouldn't die on the way up, and I found this lovely statement. I'm not sure if it could be classified as art, but it is pretty close, and also funny. 

P.S. Please do not do drugs.

Hello Cold Days

Made this out of three almond roca wrappers the day after Christmas, because I was bored. 

I love embroidery. I found the picture of these mittens online, added the words, printed it off and copied it onto the cloth, then I embroidered it, and WaLa!

Crayon Art

There is a lady that I know that is a beast when it comes to crayon art. She can do so many cool designs, and she has them all over the wall. So basically she inspired me! I consider myself semi artsy, I mean I am an art major after all, so I was pretty excited to melt crayon on a canvas. 

 Well turns out it is a lot harder than it looks. They did not turn out as well as I would have liked. 

But hey, it was fun!! That's all that really matters right? Plus I got rid of a bunch of Crayons that my parents were accumulating.
