For my second challenge, I decided to do meted crayon art. The materials I used for this project were a canvas, crayons, a glue gun, and a blow dryer. For the process, the first thing I did was sort crayons out in the order I wanted. Then, I used a hot glue gun to glue the crayons on the canvas. The last thing I did was blow dry the crayons to melt them. The part i enjoyed the most was melting the crayons with the blow dryer because I liked seeing the melted crayon run down and off the canvas. A technique I used for this is to hold the dryer straight down on top of the crayons instead of holding the dryer horizontally straight forward onto the canvas. When I held the dryer horizontally, the crayon splattered all over the place other than running straight down. I think I would add a quote at the bottom to add something a bit more. When I was using the blow dryer to melt the crayons, my mom said don't over do it. I think that would be a good message.
My first art challenge was the recycled sculpture. The shape of it is the bear from the California flag because I really want to go to California someday. The materials I used for my project is a piece of cardboard for the back or the base. ( whatever you want to call it ) Then, I ripped pages out of magazines and rolled them around a pencil and then glued them so they could stay. For the process, the first thing I did was cut a piece of cardboard and then trace the California bear on it. Then, I ripped pages out of magazines and rolled them around a pencil and glued them. Then, I used a hot glue gun to glue the magazines down to the cardboard. The last thing I did was cut the rolled up magazines down to the shape of the bear. My favorite part of this project was the magazines because I could place the order I wanted them to go in, I could choose the color scheme, and the side of the magazine I wanted to face upwards. What I might add to my project would probably be the words California Republic at the bottom like the flag does in case someone doesn't know what it looks like. I felt confident in this project because I felt like I could push myself.
