Bird in Water

This is done with the modeling paste and acyclic paint.

Untitled

This project was an interesting one. I found these strange BP gas trading cards in the closet and knew I wanted to do something with them. I put the Behr interior paint smooth on them then painted them with tempera. The paint color and texture were not working out so I got bored and put Elmers glue on them. This actually worked really well it made it so that the acyclic paint had more natural highligths to them. I ended by putting them on a piece of board and painting the squares and circles on them.

Extremes

Going with my concentration of texture in 2D design this piece i wanted to show the extremes of texture. One side is a really rough texure and the other is smooth. The texture is done with modeling paste and then the whole thing is painted with acyclic.

Trifecta

I started this project with just one of the boards but eventually I ended up with the three. The texture is made by Behr Interior Texture Paint Smooth and it was applied by a fork. The process is really messy and the paint takes about a day to dry but the effect is worth it. After the paint dried, I painted it again with acyclic paint.

Below are two close ups on the texture:

Ants Go Marching On

This is my favorite that I have done so far. It started off as nothing and then it evolved into this. The picture makes it somewhat hard to tell that there are little people in it but that is what the black lines are. This piece is done with modeling paste and cardboard the painted on with arcylic paint.

Angel?

This is done with the texture paint and on board. Originally it was suppose to be a person standing on stage but then it worked out better to make it like it is. The subject matter is really subjective and it can be an angel or whatever else you want it to be.

Foreshorting

Both of these picture are details of my foreshorting piece. And the one above is the actually piece. I found this piece to be hard to try to incorporate texture into it. The pictures make it harder to see the actually texture. But the shirt was done with molding paste and the rest was with

acrylic paint.

IBM Keyboard

This is so far my favorite piece. It is plaster that was craved into the shape of a keyboard. Then the background and letters were painted on with acrylic paint. The problems that I found with this is multiple times I did not know what to do next.

Flying Papers

This is done on cardboard and used acrylic. The papers have notes on them from when I was in the 7th grade or so

Guitar with Broken Bottle

From the picture you can't see the texture of most of the piece. Like for example the neck of the guitar is sandpaper and the paper behind the guitar in the bottom left is a yarn weaving.

It is mixed medium

Taps in the Closet

I have a story that goes along with this painting.

Susan was at home alone one night and kept hearing tapping and knocking coming from upstairs. So finally after listening to it for a while she was so scared she had to find out what it was. She made her way quietly up the stairs and the tapping got louder and louder. The tapping seemed to be coming from the linen closet. The tapping stopped as soon as she was in front of it. She waited to see if it would tap again but then all of a sudden something punched through the green door of the closet and this painting is a representation of the last thing that she saw....

It is acrylic on board with alittle tempera then the towels and sheets are magazine from l.l.bean and Crate&Barrel.

Taipei 101

This is an acrylic painting on cardboard of the Taipei 101. This building is actually the tallest in the world because of the needle on top of it. There are many reasons why it is called the Taipei 101. The 101 is the number of floors in the building and every year on 1-01 they have a huge fireworks display that makes the building look like one giant firework.

The problem that I am having with it is it still doesn't look quite as realistic as I would like it to be. And I know the way to do it is to add the floors and windows it but honestly I don't want to paint 101 lines on it. So if anyone has any suggestion of what would give it the effect of floors without painting 101 lines, please let me know.

Also I was thinking once I am done fixing the floor problem I may put fireworks on the outside to make it look like New Years but I'm not sure about that either let me know what you think

thanks jackie

arylic paint on board

Right in Front of You

In Art I we did a project whenever you would draw a line then make a picture around it. The line of the nose was the one that I started with then I saw that I could make a person out of. So then I just had this face with really big lips and nothing in front of it. It is hard to see but it is actually a faded Earth to show that what we need to help and fix is right in front of our faces like the painting. Its arcylic on board.

The Perfect Couple

I remember seeing one of the classes at school do something like this so I wanted to give it a try. It started out that I just was craving out circles in I thought it would be cool if I made it into people so thats how it came to be. Its again acrylic on cardboard.

Five Head Fish Face

This is actually me looking into a spoon. The way that I was sitting made me have a huge forehead and my eyes got really far apart. I thought it was a funny thing to look that and became more entertaining when I painted it. This is acrylic paint on board.

I want my rubber duck!

The picture is somewhat blurry but the words say "volo anaticulam cumminosam meam." This pharse is latin for "I want my rubber duck!"

Painted with arylics

Fading Cupboard

I wanted to make the actual objects look abstract and then make the outside very defined so that then I would have some strong contrast between the inside and outside.

This actually just made me think of a methapor to go along with it the outside of a person can be very put together but on the inside they could be fading between different things. Haha I have no clue where that came from but whatever.

Enjoy.
