Paintings


My roommates and I have been making many different crafts to hang around our apartment this year. These are some of my contributions:


The two canvas paintings were made by cutting a design (palm tree and turtle) out of a canvas, painting the canvas, and gluing some black foam board into the back of the canvas.


 The pineapple painting was a mixed media project involving newspaper, paint sample paper, spray paint, acrylic, glitter, and cardboard. The picture project is simply one picture that I took of our boat while we were deep sea fishing that has been adjusted four different ways.


 The track and field painting was done on a large piece of plywood. It is simply spray painted and has the signatures of everyone on my college track team.

Stationary Gifts









For Christmas this year I decided to make stationary for my friends. I purchased some card stock, scrap-booking paper, envelopes, and rubber cement, from Walmart for about $20 total. Then I simply cut different shapes and designs from the paper and glued them to the card stock. This was a relatively cheap craft to produce, however, it did take a sufficient amount of time. ~Caroline~

The Arts


The above pictures are of some of the drawings, paintings, projects, and crafts that I have completed. These two are from my senior art class. This spider-man picture on the right was part of my senior art portfolio. We had to choose a theme and do several projects related to that theme. I choose a superhero theme and this was my stippling picture. That basically means that this entire drawing is made of little tiny dots, in various sizes and concentrations. The lizard was also a senior project. It is a large piece of wood, painted, and stamped with a print that I created.
