This past week we have been working with fabrics. I created a sock monster, a cookie, and bunny. To make both socks I used buttons and pom-poms to add to the plush. For the cookie I just cut out chunks of brown to make it look like chocolate chips. This past week I learned how to sew on buttons because I didn't even tho it is not hard at all. I am very proud of the blue bunny. I would say the material I wouldn't want to work again but I actually really enjoyed the materials we used last week and will use them again even outside of art. The two goals I have been working on are trying new things and to plan everything out in my sketchbook first so I have an idea what to make.

The past two weeks we've been working with a bunch of different materials. Some of the materials we used were plaster, styrofoam cups, wire, floral foam, and plaster gauze. I used these materials because I have not used the majority so I thought it would be good to try some different materials. I really ended up liking the plaster (the donut) because it was fun trying out something I have not before. This material was kind of hard to work with but once you get the right tools it wasn't bad at all. The one material I probably wouldn't want to use again is the styrofoam cup only because it was kinda messy and just was not my favorite thing ever. I am pretty happy with all my results of from using new materials.
Some of my goals for this semester are becoming a better artist and learning to use different materials. Along with using different materials I would like to try an expand my mindset to make better artworks. Making better artworks would be nice because it could relate to me more as a person instead of just an artwork. I would like to try and create different things that I never have created before or just try even if it might not work. Right now in art I feel like i'm doing pretty well but I know I can have a greater mindset in the future. I hope to learn more about different techniques and ways to improve my art. I will try my best all around to become a better art student in the class and hopefully my art improves!
