Rough drafts:

Green wear stage:
Reference:


   For my principle of design project I didn’t have a certain reference of an artist I went off of. I thought of the idea of making a bowl with a spiral illusion because I thought it would have a cool effect. My principle of design was movement because your eyes move in a spiral around the piece. My piece hasn’t been fired yet so I don’t have a final picture of it glazed. 

Describe: The goal for my piece is to create a black and white spiral effect on a bowl. There are many cut outs in the bowl that I will be coloring to crate the illusion. If you spin the bowl around the goal is for it to look like the spinning spiral illusion. The design of the bowl is very basic but I didn’t want to add too much to it because I wanted to focus on the movement of the piece and the illusion. 

Analyze: The principle of design my piece focuses on is movement. The spiral black and white illusion creates a movement effect. Even if you don’t spin the piece around your eyes still move all around the piece noticing the indents in the piece. Another principle of design in this piece that is less noticeable is pattern. There is a pattern  in the cut outs I did in the bowl and once I glaze it there will be a black and white pattern also.

Interpret: This piece is based off of the popular black and white spiral illusion. Magicians and hypnotists use the famous black and white spiral to attempt to hypnotize people into believe or doing certain things. I wanted to recreate this because I have always found it interesting how hypnotists can convince people to act a certain way just because of the spinning blacks and white spiral.

Judge: I like this piece a lot because of how basic yet creative it is. I like the idea behind the piece and how it’s aimed to look like it will be moving. I have always found illusions so interesting and I like how I incorporated it into one of my pieces. Once I glaze the bowl I think it will look really nice and you will be able to see the full effect of the spiral and the indents in the piece.

Utilitarian piece      Describe: My utilitarian piece Is a leaf green jewelry holder. The leaf is 3-D mold that can fit rings    and necklaces and bracelets. I painted it green since it was a leaf shape so the color goes with the nature theme. The leaf is shaped jagged and has indents in it to make it seem more realistic since it is 3-D.        Analyze: A principle of design for this piece would be balance. Balance is in this piece how both sides of the leaf are jagged but jagged similarly so one side doesn’t look exactly different than the other. The color is also the same throughout the piece.        Interpret: This piece was created to be a holder for jewelry. It symbolizes a leaf but is in the shape of a bowl since it’s caved in. I have always seen the leaf mold and thought it would be cool to make a piece I could use out of the mold and I thought this project would be perfect for the leaf mold.         Judge: I sort of like this piece. I like the meaning behin

rough draft  inspiration  final draft Description: In this piece i decided to do the quote “every rose has its thorns just like every night has its dawn”. i did the words thorn and dawn in a bold font and the rest of the words a less bold cursive font. the background is radiant from dark to light. for the visuals representing the quote i drew rose thorns on a stem with a rose petal to the left. For the night part of the quote i drew a moon with stars to the left of that, and a rising sun representing dawn. analysis: one principle of design in the piece is emphasis. there is emphasis on the quote because it is darker and more bold than the background and so is the lettering. there is also contrast between the light and dark of the background . there is more contrast also between the subjects of the piece where it’s more of a dark and sad subject then it turns into a light and happy subject. interpretation: this piece symbols that everything bad in love will eventu

Rough draft/Reference Pictures inspiration-Artist Reference  Jeff Koons -Jeffrey Koons is an American artist known for working with popular culture subjects and his reproductions of banal objects, such as balloon animals produced in stainless steel with mirror-finish surfaces. He is he artist who created the balloon dog sculpture. I took his balloon sculpture and created my own version of it creating a giraffe like balloon animal. Final piece My final piece is a orange balloon giraffe. The balloon giraffe is bouncing on balloon flowers with balloon clouds in the sky. I colored the flowers pink and green and the clouds grey. There is a reflection on all of the balloon drawings to help the drawings look more like balloons. One principe of design i used in this piece is emphasis. There is emphasis on the giraffe because it is the biggest and brightest part of the piece. Another principle of design is contrast. There is contrast within the background and every
