My artwork is a building made out of cardboard. It is a 4 by 8 building with a 2 by 2 extension on the side. The roof is painted dark brown, and the sides are painted beige. There are black lines going horizontal on the side of the building to show the siding. There is a set of double doors on the front and a single door on the extension. There are two skylights on the back side of the roof. I created my artwork by cutting cardboard pieces to make the sides first. I then used paper tape to connect them. After that I made the two roofs, connecting them with paper tape and then I hot glued them to the sides. Then I painted the sides beige and the roof brown. Finally I drew lines on the sides to represent siding, and put doorknobs on the doors. The big idea behind this artwork is that it is a model of my cabin. I chose to make this because that is one of my favorite places to be, especially in the summertime. My goal for this artwork was to make it look as much like my cabin as possible. I thought it went really well besides the little extension not looking quite right. Overall I think this artwork was a success because it looked very similar to my cabin, which was my goal.

I am making a sculpture of my cabin out of cardboard. I started out by making a sketch of the whole thing. Then I figured out what size I wanted it to be and wrote the dimensions down. After I figured out my plan I made the side pieces. The two studio habits of mind that I used were envision and express. I used envision by thinking about how my cabin looks and how I would be able to make a sculpture of it out of cardboard. I used express because this artwork will have a meaning. I decided to make my cabin because it is one of my favorite places to be.
One of the studio habits of mind that I used was stretch and explore. I haven't done any hand sewing until I made this plushie. The other one that i used was reflect because I talked about the artworks that I have been making for the past few weeks while trying to figure out what I want to use in the future. I don't think I will use the soap again because it was really hard to get good detail on it. I would be interested in using the plaster again because I got some good detail on it and the paint looks really good when you finish it. I might try to use the sewing again because my starfish turned out pretty good, and it was pretty fun to make.
There are many different things we have been working with in media fair. Here are some of the things we have worked with. I have worked on develop craft because I used some different tools and materials in the subtractive sculptures. I also used envision to make plans of what I would do to create all of these things.
