Night Sky


 My theme is beyond, beyond the stars beyond the sun and beyond the galaxy. Space goes on and on forever.


Tiled Pac-man







My theme for this was the old arcade game Pac-man. The high point and my favorite part is Pac-man, himself, in the middle.

Clay tiles





Abstract design -Peter

WA ECC Champs


Made of four 4"x 6" tiles of clay my piece tells the story of the Woodstock Academy Football Team making it to the ECC Championchips in the future. On the bottom I have my personal number and in the middle I have a football to attract the eye to the main idea, Football. -Tyler

My Toothpick sculpture

My Toothpick sculpture is based off of Puryears work. He really inspired me to be simple but creative with shapes. I went for a more triangular shape that would be more open at the bottom. I did this by making spaces between each toothpick at the bottom, but glued sheets together for the top. This was quite the enjoyable project.

The negative space in my piece is under the bottom piece of plaster, where I carved out so that there would be less of the plaster touching the base, making the sculpture more interesting. There is also negative space inside the hole in the bottom piece of plaster, and underneath the top piece, where the two pieces meet. I think the best part of my sculpture is the sharp, zig-zag lines that I made with a clay tool.

Collision




My project's main focus is on the two pieces of plaster that I transformed to make a finished sculpture together. They collide in the center of the bigger piece, in the process of colliding the illusion is to seem as if the collision made cracks. Along with the cracks there are intricate details to make my sculpture unique and bold. In the process of creating this sculpture I think the details was the most entertaining and came out the best.

Holy Coral

 For my plaster sculpture I used Coral as my theme. I love the shape, and the texture, and I incorporated that into my sculpture. Its very organic, it flows, and its rounded in shape. I believe the best part of my sculpture is the second larger piece, with the millions of holes. It was very tedious but I love how it came out. There is also variation in each pieces surface texture, which is also interesting to look at. If you look hard enough the smoother looking piece, has larger holes on the ends of what look like coral tubes. Finally, the smallest piece, has lines to represent tubes, and small holes. This was a lot of fun, and I would definitely do it again.

Left Behind





The negative space comes in where the smaller pieces where cut from the bigger pieces and moved back to symbolize something that has been left behind from the main piece. The best part is how you can tell the smaller pieces were once part of the larger piece, making it more clear how the smaller pieces where left behind.
