I choose to do a zoetrope for my final project becuase zoetrope is one of first pre-film animation devices people used back in the days, and I grew up watching anime and comics. Also I choose this specific character for my zoetrope is becuase the anime (Crayon Shin-chan) he appeared in is probably the first anime I’ve ever watched even today the show is still ongoing but sadly the original artist who created him passed away a few years ago and just recently the voice actor of this character’s dad passed away too due to cancer and I was pretty upset with it, so I want to make a zoetrope as like a memorial thing to my childhood.

This is my final I made it with candle. So, first I had to melt lots of candle, make it big square, put the melted candles in the square box which is “Solid Forms”, let the candle dry and start cutting into the shape the hand which is “Hollow Geometric or Organic Forms”. I try to make it look like my mom hand.

For my final project I decided to make a dream catcher. I really like them, dream catchers are meant to stop bad dreams and have good ones. The materials I used was a solid circular shape I had, then wrapped around it a brown rope. For the feathers to hang, I pushed strings through them as well as through the black beads to separate them,I chose to use beads because it will make it easier to push through the strings and feathers. For the ropes in the middle I had to tie them with one another to make that form. Lastly to add color I colored the brown rope black.

In this project I have a combination of Hallow Geometric form(Circle), Modular forms employing unit shapes and axis, Linear forms in wire(brown rope, vertical strings hanging down, as well as the linear form in the middle of the dream catcher with the ropes intertwining) Moving forms(the feathers), Assembled forms(overall dream catcher is the assembled form)

Here is my final Project, I decided to do a zoetrope of a dog running because doing a mask was very complicated. It really like how this turned out

.

The title of my project means knowledge. It is written in greek.

The pronunciation of this word Is “i gnósi”

The pedestal is a hollow form that serves to display the brain made of clay which is solid.

I made this leaf based off of a plant in my house. The shape is made from wire and string. I decided to make a leaf because I have been missing the outside and nature. The wire form is a take on the “natural” shape of leaves. Creating this artificial leaf was therapeutic and did make me appreciate both the outdoors and the physical act of making something with your hands.

STARING MONKEY LEMUR

For my final project I only used a type of clay for sculpting, i want it to sculp a type of animal and came up with a monkey lemur. The tools I used for the shapes were knife, a butter knife and my hands, and for the fur texture of the animal i used a little pointing metal. The base of my sculpture is a circular shape and i tried to make it symmetrical specially for the face.
