quilted craftminship and artistic enginuity

Quilt

the quilt was made by hand and it appears to have a dimond shape that ripples out as if it where a rain drop on a lake, but if u look closser the "ripples" reveal a whole different intrecit design under laying the obvious one ... as if there was first an ellaberate quilt that had been reedone over with a more simple design but some one found the cool one on the inside and cut out a design to show every one else

Panting

the painting appears to be of the artist studio or living space or both. there is a lamp on the ground providing light to his work space where it appears that plant in the panting is leeping off the canvis. also in the back ground here is a chrack in the wall and spray paoint or perhaps he was mixing his paints on the wall to get his colors just right. also the canvis it self is made from an old window pane and scrap wood

Mcgiver in space!

Wash began today , we where given a scenario of astronaut having to construct a new booster with the materials they have,or they will surly meet there fiat. to simulate the situation the we where all given a news paper and access to tape and glue. Most students including my self found that it was a challenge to make the structure strong enough to balance the center block with only one news paper. so in a last min collaboration we found outstanding success.
