Altered Book "Stuck Screws"

This is another altered book piece. I took hot glue and a spread it all over the surface of a gessoed page, then while it was hot i stuck 11 drywall screws in it, then spray p[ainted it black, and then misted it with a green.

Altered Book

This is my duck that drew for my altered book. It had to be a catoon, so drew a duck that I had doodled on a math test before. I drew it on an open page that hadn't been gessoed, then paited it and then outlined it in black ink.

Precisionism



This is my Precisionism piece. I took a photogragh of some steps outside of school, and then drew an upclose image of them on a piece of canvas board. Then I took hot glue and made the texture of the grass. Then I took hot glue again and made the outline of the steps, but before the glue cooled, and while it was still hot, I took sand and poured it over them to get the texture of concrete. After that I just painted over it all with tempra paint just like a piece of paper in the image of the steps. Im relly pleased with the way the texture came out.

Cubism



This is my cubism inspired piece. It came from a still life that was drawn from observation. I took white pieces of paper, and splattered paint over them. I then cut out pieces from the still life that I drew and then traced them over the splattered peices of paper. Then I painted arount the edges to give them definition, and then outlined them with a silver sharpie.
