Taylor's self portrait

This is the vessle i created for my self portrait. It is a high fire glaze and is also very useful. i threw it on the wheel and put my all into it. It portrays me due to the fact it is a vessle waiting to be filled.

Morgan's self portrait

This is my self-portrait. It took me about 3 days to complete, but I have to say that this is probably my best work of art I have ever done.

Patrick Laughlin's Self Portrait

I made this on my computer using a program called ArtRage 2.5 (its free, go check it out!). I used simulated oil paint to trace over a picture of myself in layers of dots working from large dots to very small ones for the specific details, this resulted in a LOT of clicking with my mouse. 

This is a piece i've decided to add onto for another class as well. I feel like this represents me because it looks very similar to me and I intentionally left the left side of my face blank because when I was fifteen years old I had a small stroke on the left side of my body. The title will be "Anxiety", I have an anxiety disorder leftover from my episode when i was fifteen.

Public Art

Education Fountain

This is the fountain is located here on campus next to the education building. I don't really think even this fountain fits in with the building it is next to, the education building is pretty old and rigid looking while this fountain really stands out. It is probably just there to make the education building look less depressing, surrounded by flowers.

JOE'S

This is the sign used on a coffee shop in East Atlanta village "Joe's." The sign definitely fits in with its neighborhood, East Atlanta Village seems a lot like more conservative Little Five Points. I imagine that the owners of the coffee shop wanted a more appealing sign than just something with "Joe's" written across it, so it is affective. 

IRON HORSE

I am not sure that I know that full story of this artwork, but this "Iron Horse" stands in a field in Greene County close to Athens. Created by UGA artist Abott Pattison, it has stood since 1954 in a number of places. What is suprising about it is the location it is in, it stands out so strongly in a wide open field. Perhaps someone from UGA would know more about this work.

Outdoors- Kevin

This is a picture of me jumping out of a tree into the chattahoochee.

Asad Malik - Great Outdoors

Our theme was outdoors, i decided to use a picture of when i went camping this past weekend.

The Great Outdoors - Natalie

Ever since I was a little girl I've always been amazed by the sky and clouds. I would always lay on my trampoline in my backyard and just look up to make out pictures or animals in the sky. With this picture I love it because it reminds me of those times again when I was little girl.

Saud's Outdoor Picture

My last spring break a couple of my friends and I went camping. During one of our daily hikes, we saw this waterfall.

The Great Outdoors (Famodun)

The Great Outdoors by Morgan

I chose to take a picture of this Autumn tree because the color of the leaves define what time of year it is. Also the dreary weather outside makes this definition of the great outdoors questionable. Is it still the great outdoors if its ugly and rainy outside?

Patrick Laughlin's Photo (Art Team 9: The Great Outdoors)

The Great Outdoors




For this theme and photo I really made it a point to focus on composition. When choosing the great outdoors I wanted to include the colors of fall in the picture. This photo is of some trees on campus that contain some browns, green and bright yellows. I wanted make the brightest yellow tree the focus of my picture so I made sure it was centered. I used a Polaroid One-Step Close Up Camera for this picture not only because I enjoy the way this type of film looks but also because since it is a small square of film it is easier to center and even provides a natural frame to surround the subject in.

Asad's Graffiti

I saw this graffiti on the side of a train. While I was waiting for the train to pass.

Saud's Graffiti

I saw this graffiti almost every day when I went to biology class. I didn't recognize it as graffiti until taking this art class. It showed me to open my eyes to certain that I didn't notice before.

Adedayo Famodun (On the Graffiti Beat)

This work of art was found right here in Carrollton. Am not sure but the building it is painted on might be a bike shop. If you notice the main focus of this graffiti are bikes. All different bike ridden by everyday people going about their business. It sort of depicts the evolution of bicycles and the people of carrollton on these bikes. I definately consider this art done by a folk artist.

Patrick's Graffiti

I found this very large piece of graffiti on the side of a venue in Little five points, Atlanta called "The Variety Playhouse." I unfortunately was unable to get the entire wall due to how narrow the alley was. I am not sure what the subject matter of the graffiti was other than just having very bizarre figures. I definitely consider this art as it is not far off from painting a mural. 

Morgan's Graffiti Model

This is a graffiti mural that is located right outside downtown Carrollton. The reason why I chose to pick this particular piece of folk art is because the artist uses really unique and different approaches to spelling out the word. The way it appears is that it is layered on top of another image to give more depth. The contrasting colors makes it pleasurable to look at and overall its a really cool looking piece of art.
