Book sculpture

This is my book sculpture. It is feather quils writing in the book. I love the colors used in the feathers. The quote says "noise and activity are the refuges of the bereaved and the guilty"

Blue photo

This is my random display of feathers in my room. I really love the blue one, so I put it in the middle. I made this when I was a freshman. 

B&w high contrast

These were my favorite shoes. In reality they are green.

Paint drip sculpture

Birds flying away, off a feather. I used dark colors to catch the positive/negative effect of the black and white

Water color resist

My water color resist was a picture of Detroit.I visited the city this summer for the Elca national youth gathering. The city was very beautiful with its unique architecture 

Animal drawing

My three animals are a mountain lion, eagle, and beta fish. It lives in both land and sea. 

Machine

This machine is holding someone's shop project in place so they can work on it. It's kind of like having extra hands with limited abilities 

New angle

This is my different angle photo, it's a sun but it's really just colored pencils and a glue stick arranged a certain way

Jump photo drawing

This is my jump photo drawing. Mikayla is jumping into a pool from a diving board

Halloween art challenge

I spun a mummy and yarn. My mummy was made out of plaster strips, and painted. His wrappings are burlap, the fake blood is cornsyrup and food coloring. The nails are fake nails that i found

Golden photo

This is a sunset, the sun itself is golden but I love how the clouds are pinks, purples, and blues. 

Ordinary object turned extraordinary

These are compasses that spiral up like a stair case. 

Quote

This was my quote painting. My quote was "nothing haunts us more then the things we don't say" the girl is being held down and haunted by things she wish she had said

Sunlight behind object

The sun is behind the clouds and the barn. This was a sunrise that I took a picture of before school.

light painting. 
we drew in the dark with fake candles, to get the effect you need to save the shutter speed set for a long time.

Board game

This is a game of checkers. I think the black is winning

Watercolor progression

This is my water color cloud. The point was to make it gradually get darker as the image grew. I used watercolor concentrate 

Triptych

This is my really warped tree. I wanted to hang it but it is really heavy. I used clay

Posed portrait

Mikayla posig

Ants eye view

This is the ants view of a water bottle 

Architecture

This is the arch I front of the school. It bothers me because the tan pillars are heights and the base of the entry is also thinner at one end than the far end 

Something new

This is a new way I've tried painting. It's called spray pain marbeling. Basically I sprayed the spray paint into a tub with water and dipped my black canvas in it. 

Motion photo

The motion is the candle flames flickering below the cross

This is a birds eye view. My medium of choice was drinkable liquids. The eyes are V8 juice cans, the nose is a juice box, the smile is bottled water
