Standards EvidenceI seeked out my artwork by searching tree houses because I always wanted one when I was little and I like to watch treehouse masters. I also wanted a treehouse that looks all mossy and different, like a hobbit house. At first I was going to make a house but then one day I was watching TV and an ad came up of a new movie. The movie is called Onward. In the movie they had little mushroom houses and I thought that was cool. I wanted to make one myself so I did. Some observations I had while I made my artwork is that it was a very long process. First I started making a tree like structure out of wire. After that I had to cover it with tin foil, this took a very long time and the proces got boring. Once I was finally finished I had to use modge podge and paper towels, to cover the whole tree again! The modge podge was very sticky and sometimes hard to work with. I accidently got some on my clothes and it won't come off. I soon finished covering the tree, now it was time to paint it. I painted it a dark brown. Once the dark brown dried I lightly painted a light brown over the dark brown. This gave it a more textured look, I really liked how it turned out. I then made a little mushroom house, I painted it red with white dots. I struggled with the clay sagging down. We decided to put a cup in the mushroom to help support it. It worked out alright. I used all sorts of materials I never used. Like wire, tin foil, modge podge with paper towels, and model magic. I'm still not done with my artwork because the techniques turned out to be such a long process. I still have to put the mushroom in the tree, and then make it look all mossy and green. I had a lot of fun doing this project and I still am. I liked using all new materials. I can't wait to see how it all turns out. Artist Statement My artwork is a mushroom tree house. The reason I made this is because I love treehouses and the outdoors. For my Architecture Artwork I wanted it reflect that. I created my artwork by using all sorts of things. Here is a list: styrofoam, wire, tin foil, paper towels, modge podge, different paints, and modle magic. I haven't finished my artwork yet but if I did I also would have used, moss, little rocks, leaves, and all sorts of stuff to make it look over grown and cute. I'm really frustrated that I didn't get it finished but the process of making the tree took a lot of time and effort, I didn't want to rush because I didn't want it sloppy. I really wanted to see how it would have turned out. I was almost done and then school got canceled. :( There's a lot more emotions behind this artwork than people would think. I got inspired to do this artwork because I love the outdoors, when I was little I was always outside exploring, climbing trees and playing with frogs. I also had a little fairy garden, they had little mushroom houses too. I want people to be happy and feel adventures when they see my artwork because if I seen something like my artwork in the woods I would want to go and explore it. This artwork also helped me reach a lot of my goals as an artist because, I have used all sorts of materials and techniques. At the beginning of the year we wrote are goals down and one of mine was to use different materials. I have also learned a lot because when I think of it I have some of these supplies at home. I could make a cool model of something if a wanted too because I learned how. Overall I learned a lot with this artwork even if I didn't finish it. I learned how to use different materials, how to be patient with long techniques, how to think out of the box and dig deep into my brain to find something that means alot to me. Sense I didn't finish my artwork I put a picture of a cute little mushroom house below, because that picture makes me happy and gives me the same feeling as I got when working on my artwork. I'm very frustrated that school got taken away from us because I really enjoyed coming in and working on my artwork, it was nice to just relax and have fun.
