1) Day one, video notes
Kurt Schwitters popularized collage, he used this technique as an extension of painting. His works are a German approach to the cubist and expressionist movement. However, Schwitters’ never became a direct follower of any movement. His ideals remain on his own experimental use and free to constantly change and be a radical figure in the art world.
Joseph’s Cornell’s work created scenes, narratives, mysteries stories, characters as well as having touches of music and movement. His works would create curiosity among the meaning of art in correlation to life directions. What are these objects speaking to you? What’s the symbolism to a greater, unspoken statements.
Louise Nevelson collected scraps of wood in the streets of NY, which she created large scale sculptures assembling these pieces together. Her sculptures are called assemblages. “A life that surpasses the life which they were originally created.”

Clay comes from eroded and weathered granite for millions of years, they are broken down into fine particles that slide into one another, wherefore, forming cay. If clay is compressed for years, it becomes a new stone named “shale” which can be grinned and formed clay again. Clay is composed of layers of alumina, silica and chemically bonded water.

They are all igneous or volcanic rocks, when magma from a volcano cools. In the wild, granite can be composed of quartz and mica, a shiny, flaky rock, which is historically used to create cookware because it can handle rough temperatures.

3) Final product
Title: Playground
This was my first time working with clay, there was a lot of technicalities I had to learn such as "scoring" and more of the process adding elements to a flat piece of clay. The concept of Symmetrical and Asymmetrical components was not new to me, I have studied them in 2D, being mindful of negative space and repetition. In the Asymmetrical tile (right) was the first tile I did, there are elements added on top of each other, looking at it, I could've made the shapes less wonky and respected more negative space. The Symmetrical tile (left) was the second one I did and most proud of. I liked how I played with add ons and slight indentations in some of the shapes that created more depth to the object. The last step to finalize this project was glazing. Once again, it was my first time glazing and what I would change is the colors, I did 2 layers of one color and a final layer of another. I would also refine the way I applied it to prevent unwanted texture. Im overall satisfied with this first project and truly prepared me for upcoming assignments.
4) Process Soap Sculpture
5) Soap Photo shoot
Title: Pulpo
Learning how to carve was a skill I gained and took the liking to in this assignment. The objective for this piece was to lose the rectangular shape of the triangle into a more organic shape with three openings. As I started this assignment, I was doing really good but carved more than I had liked trying to make the soap lose its original shape. I was lost in the last step which was to "polish" with easy going strokes of the knife to get rid of the texture from the initial bigger and careless strokes. Despite my mistake, I loved making these soap carvings because it was a very satisfying and calming process, and wakes up the mind for creativity.
6) Ephemeral Art- Process Photos
7) Museum Inspired
Title: T-Roar
"T-roar" was inspired in a duck shaped ink holder found in the Lowe Museum from Thailand's 14th and 16th century, using pinching technique to create a circular base shape and coiling to create the high top rim. I created the tiger head using the same skill as the peer caricature: grabbing a chunk of clay and molding it, creating space for eyes and adding small balls for the irises, once my shape was done, I proceeded to cut the head in half and hallow its inside to then spring it back together and adding into the pot and then I coiled a piece of clay and add the tail and spall teeth. Once my piece was leather hard, I used the same technique as my second cup and craved out the tiger stripes. I really enjoyed this museum inspired piece, and I believe I was able to put into test all my skills gained throughout this course.
8) Ceramic Work Process Photos
9) Museum Sketches Study
FINAL ARTIST STATEMENT
a) Throughout this course, I explored various artistic processes such as additive, subtractive, constructive, and critical thinking. Each method gave me an opportunity to get better at working with clay. Additive allowed me to build form piece by piece (as seen on one my cups, peer caricature, tiger and the tiles), subtractive helped refine shapes by removing excess (as seen on one my cups, soap and tiger), constructive focused on assembling parts into a whole (as seen on tiles), and critical thinking pushed me to apply everything I have learned for a final assignment)
b) My favorite process was the additive method because I enjoyed the freedom of building my sculpture and seeing it take shape. It gave me the most control and flexibility, especially when experimenting with texture and form. However, I did find myself struggling to keep the clay from getting too dry.
c) I would highly recommend this 3D course to others because it helped me grow more confident as an artist. I didn’t think I had the skills to build a 3D shape into a real life ceramics piece, but I was proven wrong. I really enjoyed getting my hands on the clay and shaping the distinct features on each pieces.

The way i approached this project was through the exploration of volume, shapes and use of space. I tried to create piece in which it looked different from all angles and create a sense of variety. I think the Asymmetrical balance successfully accomplished my initial goal. However, I lacked on creating a more cohesive shape that respected the use of negative space. I think it turned out good, the three openings are there as well as an interesting design in all sides of it.

Final Curated Portfolio
Artist Statement
These eight pieces reflect my creative qualities through the means of color, variety and balance. At the beginning i struggled a lot with straight lines, craftsmanship and overall grasping the concept of working with space. One of my first assignments was recreating Franz Klein’s art style but severely lacked of understanding non representational art. Therefore, working with lines especially curved, horizontal and vertical helped me create a much fuller and well representational world within the medium. As my time in this class went by, i was able to create space within white and black such as my white cut and paste on black square. Then, using this new learnt variety to create a sketch of flowers of different shapes and sizes that despite its differences, they harmonize. Color was something i really enjoyed, i was able to channel what i had learnt from the principles of art such as variety and balance in my “Three colors make four” assignment, making circles of different sizes creating a constant flow of dark and lighter blue illusion. All of these pieces lead me to the making of my museum piece with the tiger by the river. I used colors that complimented each other, cut and paste, and balance elements to create a harmonious piece.
In regards on my midterm I enjoyed using colors of the same warmth and so close to each other in the color wheel that made my piece look well put. My craftsmanship in this assignment could’ve been better i had grown too excited and careless of my cutting and pasting.
As for my Final, i was proud of using analogous colors of different blues in order to create a shape and texture to the whale. I could’ve done better on the typography aspect.
My work is able to follow instructions however i must work on the executions. I have learnt that im server flawed in the craftsmanships department and will work further to improve. Despite this, I think my understanding of principles of art is shown throughout my work as the semester progressed and was able to apply what I learnt to these pieces.

Final
Artist Statement
“Carmilla” by Sheridan Le Fanu tells the tale of one of the oldest vampire stories. Laura, is being preyed on by a female vampire named Carmilla whom has grown an obsession with her and haunts her nights. Despite Sheridan’s attempt to villainize sapphic love, Carmilla had quite the opposite effect and has been reclaimed as a lesbian cult classic. A very passionate love affair between the main characters has been of great influence in the media and despite its origins. This book means a lot to me since it was the first exposure to raw, unique tension between two women and has helped me further develop a more comforting relationship with my own sexuality.
Upon planning this project, i knew i wanted to have gothic themes heavily shown in my chosen font. I wanted red to be the color representing this book not only beacuse of its relations to blood and vampirism, but also because of passion felt throughout the story. The bag transformation is very important in this book, it shows Carmilla’s truest self but also wnated to include her human stare as told in the book, she would observe Laura at night. My aim was to show her a threatening hunter.
Submarine by the Marias is a recently released album, I’m a big fan of this band and has been anticipating this album for a great amount of time. The two songs they had released prior the album was “Lejos de ti” and “Run your mouths” which had made me in constant state of yearning. The entirety of this album feels very melancholic following its blue and underwater themes. I decided to represent it through a 52 Hertz Whale, which is said to be one of the loneliest sea creatures. The 52 Heryz whale has been used as a metaphor of loneliness due to being called after a frequency of 52 hertz, which is higher than any other known whale species and too low for humans to hear. Despite being discovered, this whale has never been seen. Like the singer, I believe she’s crying out her melancholia in a very passive tune. This album reminds of a time when I had cried out for empathy after a terrible heartbreak but never felt heard enough, as if everything i said was lost in the sound barrier. Therefore, I believed a whale was a great representation of how this album communicated to me.
I was overall satisfied with my work throughout this project. I’m specifically proud of how i decide to execute the themes of the book and album. I think i could improve the typography and filling our overall blank spaces.

Midterm Assignment
Artist Starement
I first started with creating a couple of color combinations, after knowing which colors i wanted, proceeded to paint evenly 4 pieces of 18”x 20” bristol paper and created my 6” inch squares and started making my other shapes. I especially used dark red, red orange, pink and yellow because i wanted my piece to feel warm. My preliminary work consisted of cutting various geometric figures and line shapes to create an environment for each square. I believe i did a good job since everything feels/looks very cohesive. I used variety of shape and size, repetition of shapes such as circles in every piece to create a sense of connection, rhythm to manage the figures, and balance by creating a harmonious composition.
