Papier Mache Sculpture




















For our papier mache sculpture project I made an old iPod Nano. I used cardboard, newspaper, paper towels, black paint, silver paint, and papier mache. For I made the cardboard into the right shape and then papier mached newspaper on, and then papier mached paper towels on, and then painted silver paint on and then black paint. I even added in a place to put headphones and to charge it! I do like how it turned out though.

Light Bulb Structure Project

For my light bulb structure I made a penguin and a snowman. I used light bulbs, paint, glaze, and wire for my project. I pretty much like how it all turned out. I painted both of the light bulbs with regular paint except for the face on the penguin- I used glaze for that because there wasn't any orange paint that I could find.

Advanced Ceramic Project



For my advanced ceramic project I made a checkerboard with checker pieces. I glazed the checkerboard with a gray and black glaze. The pieces for my checkerboard are supposed to be like little Starburst pieces and for half of the pieces they are red and yellow and then the other ones are pink and orange. They have two different colors because when you are playing the game of Checkers, once you make it to the other side then you flip it over because it is a "King" piece. The checkerboard is 1x1.
I kind of like how it turned out. I think that I could've done a little bit of a better painting job on it though.
