The Clay Food project was by far one of the most enjoyable art mediums and subjects we got to use in the class. I particularly liked how much time and leisure we had to get our art done as opposed to other projects. This allowed us to be stress free, which was definitely needed given the complexity of clay and sculpting it. It took me awhile to come up with something original to make, so I got off to a slow start. It's not that I even like spam, I just thought of it randomly and it seemed like a good enough challenge. Making the walls of the can even and balanced was the hardest part and took me the longest ( a couple days ). My art ended up having to dry a bit longer so I had to wait to paint, which ended up being quite the challenge. I couldn't really make it look like a can of spam in the end, but the size of the thing is proportionate to an actual can! In the real version, there's a picture of a hamburger on it, and I didn't end up being able to do that. If I could have mixed paints better and more accurately, it probably would have came out better in the end. Still, it was in the top two projects and mediums we did, and it contributed to me enjoying Art 2 at Apex High School.

A little introduction, this was by far one of my harder projects. It took me awhile just to get started, come up with ideas, sketch, etc. before I even got to the tedious part of cutting the linoleum. If I had more time and actually did multiple colorful layers, a different outcome probably would have happened. This is not to say it was a complicated project or undoable by most, because it wasn't. Just not one of my favorite mediums out there and it would have been cool if it wasn't our last project. In order to be successful, the cuts must be smooth and the ink must be even and not messed up, that's why we picked our best three out of a series of five. I just wish I would have had time to layer it out and add more colors to get the full effect of this project. Nevertheless, here is my final print making product. |
