Shibori Dyeing

Michael Smith is a Shibori artist from Asheville, North Carolina. Michael Smith makes hundreds of hand made pieces and none of them are the same.He has been creating these amazing pieces for over 25 years. He has a website which i will link below in which explains everything that he does. He also has a shop on Etsy which is a website like amazon but for clothes. He does all different types of shibori and likes to keep his options open.

His work is retail design. He sells the pieces on Etsy where he has his own shop. I picked this artist because his work seemed very colorful and fun to look at. All of his pieces are completely different and not one is alike. Thats the beauty of shibori you never know what youre going to get.

Art History Music Video Project

The piece that our group chose was "The Arlnofini Wedding." It was a really fun piece to recreate. We all contribuated to the different aspects of the piece. If i were to do this piece agian i probably would have put a little bit more detail into it.

Perspective Project

What is this artwork intended to say?

This piece is intended to show the pier at the beach because that is where i used to live and the beach is my favorite place. 

Did you gain skill with familiar materials?

I used oil pastels for this project and i became more familiar with how to use them during this. I learned how to blend them so it looked fluent and not like a third grader drew it. 

Printmaking Project

I took a risk by using this justin bieber as my focus point on this project. A lot of people hate justin bieber and people could have totally rejected my piece because of my focus point. I am glad that I used him for this though because it wa a lot of fun. 

       Reflecting on this project I realize that I did better than I thought I would. I was afraid he would turn out looking like a monster but he doesn't he looks like a human. The only thing is that he doesn't really look like Justin he just looks like a guy. 

GIF

This GIF relates to me because i have a huge obsession with nail polish so i decided to draw a nail being painted.

My definition of art is a form of self expression shown on a canvas or paper. It is how some one feels or sees something.
