Artist Statement~ArchitectureFor my architectural project I made a cabin. The title is "Grandpa's Cabin". I was inspired by an actual cabin that I go to in the summertime. For the roof of my cabin I painted a swingset of top of it, I did this because the actual cabin has a swingset on top of the roof. It is built deeper into the ground so the land overlaps the roof and my grandpa wanted to be funny so he put our swingset on the roof. I painted the outside walls blue and the floor and roof white. On the real cabin the walls are log cabin style and the floor and ceiling are also the hardwood log style. The tools and materials I used were cardboard, paint, glue, and an exacto knife. In my artwork I tried to show happiness, I did this because I am always happy when I go to the cabin. My goals as an artist are to just always try my best. This artwork sort of reached my goals because I did try my best but it could have been a little bit more accurate. During this artwork I learned that thinking about something to make and actually making it is a lot harder than I thought it would be. It didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it to, but I still like it. Target EvidenceTarget A~ I looked at different artists and their sculptures. I learned that there are many different ways and materials to use to make an artwork.
Target B~ I started working off of my floor plan. I learned that it is easier to work off of a plan than out of your mind. Target C~ As I started working I am seeing how different materials work and cooperate with each other. I learned that different materials work differently. Target D~ I looked at different things. I learned that there are a lot of different kinds of artworks. Target E~ I tried to do things in different ways. I learned that there is more than one way to build the same thing. Target F~ I practiced by making a smaller object before the big thing. I learned that you should always practice something before trying to make the big and final artwork.

Target A, Seeks out artists and artworks~I was going off of architects that build houses and other buildings. Artworks I was looking at were in ground houses, cabins, and many other buildings.
Target B, Documents inspiration and ideas~My inspiration came from a cabin I go to a lot. The roof had a painting of a swingset on it because, at the actual cabin the swingset is on top of the roof. The cabin is in the ground more than most normal places, so the roof is basically ground level. The cabin is really small and the only thing that is not accurate is the the cabin is brown and not blue. Target C, Make observations about subject, materials, or artwork~My artwork is pretty close looking to the real cabin, though the real one is brown and mine is blue. The materials I used were cardboard, paint, and glue. Target D, Explores new media and techniques~I tried different ways of building and using different materials. I also built something similar to my cabin, but out of different materials. Target E, Researches new skills and techniques~I used different ways to do the same thing. Also i played around with some different materials, or materials I liked, when I was done with my main project. Target F, Practices new skills~I practiced new skills by using different materials, building different kinds of sculptures, and thinking of new ways to copy one project but also make it different. I would do this by using different materials, different places, or maybe even a whole different sculpture inspired by this one sculpture. |
