Artist Statement
I'm Joe Batchelor and I'm in art class because, I know I can be better at art than I am now. Abstract art really gets me excited! And what motivates me is, when i see some on do something challanging, I have to do it too. The materials I like to use are ink,paint, and pencil. I'd prefer to do abstract art because its more creative. I have a well planned out process that works for me to accomplish my art. My biggest challange is to show and impress my fans. When people see my art I want them to look closley. Lokk for things like faces, symbols, and figures. My goal in this art class is to be the best I can be in this class.
I recently tried a new challange this semester. I began working with clay, and I wont lie this was really hard. With the 8 projects I did in my ceramics class I think i have a lot to work on and I learned a lot. My favorite project was probably the Vace, because I spent more time on it then any other porjects. The materials I like to use are fresh moist clay, because it is easier to build with it. I like to make anything that starts out as a bowl. I like to use glazes that make the project shiny and dark rather than shiny and clear. My favorite piece is my bowl, it was easy at first but i put a lot of extra time in it, to make it perfect. With all the sandimh and smothing I spent about 4 weeks on it. But it turned out great.
I want people to look at my art work and tell the things they like and dont like. My goal for making art is to become even better i want to be able to look at my work and say I did a good job.
