Batik!

This was my favorite project!  We were to create a batik, which is pretty much a controlled dye.  We used squirt bottles filled with a flour/water paste to create lines and then we used tempura paint to fill in with color.  This is how mine turned out (it wasn't supposed to turn grayish, but it did).

Map project with artist statement

This assignment was assigned to us while we were at the University's museum of art.  We were to create a map about ourselves and write an artists statement.  I chose to write random facts about me in different styles on the front and a very condensed timeline of me on the back.  I chose to color each square a different color so as to illustrate how I am random and sometimes unpredictable.
