Over the last month a lot has gone on in the the art room. We mainly focused on learning and practicing embroidery. We all made an embroidery sampler to practice and then each chose different projects. I used the hoop and made a flower using different colors. It was a little hard to get the embroidery floss through the needle but after a couple times and solving problems by using a tool to help, I got the hang of it. I ended up making it into a small pillow. It was very interesting to do this especially after being inspired by Faith Ringgold. I remember always reading her book when I was younger. It was very cool to be able to do something inspired by her because I’ve always loved her book. I made a second pillow for valentines day which I was then able to reflect on my first piece and build my skills and get better. After working with embroidery, I made a small painting just for fun. I thought it would be cool to do something simple so I painted the background and then drew and simple eye with some abstract colors.
