1) Originally I made my tray set without any thought about what I would do with it; I thought the idea just looked cool. But as I was making it me and another student came up with two different ways it would work for. I think that it would make a good sushi tray. One could place a standard sushi roll on the tray part and in the speaker you could put soy sauce in one space and ginger in the other (no wasabi for me). My set could also be used as a mini hibachi tray. The actual food could go on the tray itself and in the two different compartments of the speaker I could place those two sauces you typically get. I thought that those were really the best two ideas. 2) When I was planning this project I designed a rectangular prism with two round compartments that reminded me of a speaker. I enjoy listening to music and thought it was creative enough, so I designed the rest of my project around this. 3) The first thing I did was draw out a plan in my sketchbook. Then I physically began creating my piece out of clay using a variety of tools. I used an existing tray as a mold for my tray and made the other piece by hand. Then it was bisque-fired and I glazed the entire thing. Finally, it was glaze-fired.

1) I used 3-point perspective.
2) The background is chalk pastels and the rest is color pencil. 3) The photo this is based on was taken on the Moroccan pavilion at Disney's Epcot when I went on vacation there a few years ago. 4) I thought that drawing the perspective and choosing a medium were the two most difficult components of this project. 1) I used 6 different mediums: tissue paper base, acrylic paint stamped on, pen & paper (the person), acrylic applied with a brush (hair), dried acrylic, and glitter (key and background).
2) My word was "secret". The objects in the person's hair are like secrets and their keyhole for a mouth is meant to be locked by the key, showing that the person is unable to tell those secrets. |
