This mini lesson was about cutting cardboard and creating a relief piece out of it. I thought this was a very interesting type of style, and I like the results. I decided to do a foreshortening type of relief, with "Dirty Harry" as my subject matter. I know it's not very original, but I was pressed for time and I had this as a cool idea. The main trick for this type of style is to nail down where to cut away the cardboard, and where to leave it be. In this case, the cut-away parts are the darkest most areas of the piece, and same goes for the lighter areas. I cut Harry out to give him a distinct shape, and then added him onto a uniquely textured background.

This landscaped based tile was the first step into our relief teachings. I chose this topic because the style of this piece show great opportunity for me to use relief techniques. The piece still needs to be fired and painted, but the viewer can already see what the tile is. It will be a joy to paint, and if I had to redo this tile I would have chosen to carve out a waterfall. This would make the tile compositionaly sound and peaceful to the viewer.
I built this knight out of a sophomore cup, and I think he turned out pretty cool. I tried to do something different from everybody else, which was making the cup be part of some abstract piece. I, however, wanted the viewer to see something that actually resembles a real life object. As seen in the photo, I cut slots and stuck each individual piece into it's corresponding slot, sort of like a model. In the end I think this turned out nice, and lots of people saw the different approach I had taken. If I were to do this again, I would create a more abstract piece that represented myself in a special way.
