"My artwork looks like someone printed it and colored the piece. The title of my work is 'Humans' because it's based off of human destruction. The most obvious things in my art are the human and the beach full of plastic. Create - the media is dry point etching in acrylic, Sharpie, and colored pencil. I think, just what's going on in the everyday world, has inspired me to make this piece. What I'm trying to show is that the bad things that have happened in this world are nothing compared to what's happening now on this earth. My goal was to make a better cleaner piece and I think after this piece I realized how to make my piece better. I learned a lot and I think what I finished was very close to what I had hoped and I'm very happy for my work. "

"My artwork is an elephant in the forest with a sad expression to show how depressing poaching is. You can also see a trickle of blood running down the elephant’s tusk, considering all this, I named my piece “The Red Forest”. The most obvious element is the intricate designs on the elephants ears to show it's beauty. I printed my design on etching paper with super thick ink. Printing my design was much harder than I expected, but I am very happy with my results. For my etching I used an etching scriber to create my art, I scratched my design into acrylic then printed. I was inspired by the death poaching has caused and how much I stand against animal abuse. To create this piece of artwork. I’ve tried to convey a sad expression to show poaching for what it is and shed light on it. One of my goals, as insignificant as it is, was to be able to draw a nice tree which I believe I have achieved with this piece of art. I learnt that if I truly put my mind to something, it can turn into something I am really proud of. This piece of artwork, if not better than, is exactly what I hoped for and imagined! I think this step was such a great learning experience for me and has really broadened my artistic capability."

" I have two different pieces of artwork, both look similar, yet different at the same time. One of the two art pieces I made, ““Written Memento”, is mostly consisting of handmade and handwritten things. While the other, ““Typed Memento”, is mostly consisting of printed and typed things. I created ““Typed Memento” by printing the main piece of the art piece which is a picture of cards, after that I typed the title and the meaning of Memento Mori and how it related to cards. After that, I drew the 4 aces, hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades and glued it around the main piece. For the other piece, I did the same thing just handwritten. ““Written Memento” and “Typed Memento” are both art pieces based around the concept of “Memento Mori”, the concept of remembering your mortality. I wanted to let people remember that the only thing certain in life was death and that we were all going to die, one way or another."

Our artwork looks kind of like space with tiny stars, and bits of stuff floating around in the background with an inversed color planet in the middle. We used spray paint and we also used a screen to make the earth, a screen is not a computer screen, but it is a frame to put ink in and you have to use a tool called a squeegee, which pushes the ink through the screen. We also used normal paint for the paint blobs. The big idea behind this artwork was that our planet is dying and it is losing a lot of resources, that's why the earth does not have any color except white and black to show that it is dead. Our goal at first were actually not to do the project together and to do the project individually, at that point we had the same goal: to use overlap using screen printing. So, in the end, we ended up doing it together with the goal of doing an outer space background with a white planet in the center. Our overall thought of this piece of art is that the background looks great: it came out better than we expected because we didn’t have purple spray paint. The planet in the center actually created a better contrast than we hoped and the blobs of paint added kind of like a 0-gravity effect look on the artwork.

My final piece “Tiden Er Omme” is 12 prints in 6 different colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. The colors of the rainbow. These 12 prints are set up in a rainbow, following the colors. The rainbow represents a cycle of life - you are born, you have the peak of your life, and you eventually die. My actual prints show the idea of death: a coffin, a vase of flowers, and a big clock in the background, striking 2 o clock. My initial idea of death evolved into 12 identical prints. I have had the idea of a coffin and a clock since the start of the “Time” unit, so my goal was to complete my wish. Overall, I feel that my artwork represents death in a subtle but moving way, and I really like it. It turned out really good!

"My artwork is a picture of a skeleton with a wood design in his head that has a design of a card deck of suits. I made the artwork using pencil to draw my design first, then I etched it using acrylic and an etching tool, last I printed using special texture colored paper. My idea was to have a skeleton face that had carvings of a card deck suit: hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs. I drew it to show that the skeleton is the “Ghost of cards”, ""The “King of Cards”. My goal was to try something new and since I am a new student I decided to do something I haven’t done before and that was etching. My thoughts of my artwork is I like it, but I could’ve done better by adding a bit more designs in his head like make it look more wood-like."

"When we wanted to make something about time, this came to mind, because time is going to finish one day, because of all these problems currently ongoing in our world. Herewith we created our project “6:60” We got the idea for it from the doomsday clock but then we changed it, because the clocks will never go to 6:60, it would go to 7:00. 6:60 means that something has gone wrong and it will never be reversed (e.g current ongoing issues). We first started out by spray painting the background, then we added and we created a stencil of a gun and spray painted that. Then a photo that Deven took was used to screen print on the background, after that with out stencil, we printed 6:60 and time is up. One question we got many times was if the drip on the 0 was intentional. Yes, indeed it was. I hope you enjoyed our work!"

Our piece shows two types of perspective the red describes a hot summer and the blue describes a gloomy winter. We used linoleum to make the sun and the tree. It wasn’t very easy to carve out the tree because the tree had a lot of details. We used different types of colors and combined them together. We also used the transparent base which made it clear to see both colors. The meaning that we are trying to send to the others is that the glasses are for you to help you see the different perspectives.

For my final project, I etched a drawing of a polar bear crying. My artwork is very clear to see and also very detailed. In my project, I was trying to transfer the idea that the world is dying onto my art. I think I did that very well. At first, I was going to do my art using linoleum, but then I decided that etching is better since my art should be detailed. The big idea behind my project is that our actions don’t affect just us, but everything. My goal for this final project was for people to actually look at the project and think about their actions and what they’ve done in the past that could’ve affected the world. My overall thought was that the project turned out well and I’m happy that I completed it in time.

Changing hours is a collage of prints in a panorama with different shades of colors in each print. This artwork was made with linoleum. I got inspired by a picture I have taken in New Zealand, it was a picture of a mountain behind a lake. The goal of this work was to express the different shade of colors at different times. I learned that sometimes you have to adapt and change things during the process.

For my project, I made a turtle that was eating plastic, the part of my artwork that was meant to stick out was the straw. To create my artwork I carved into linoleum then printed it, then i glued part of a straw going into his mouth. This piece of work helped me to reach my goal of creating a good looking piece. This piece of work is what I imagined because it immediately shows what I am showing.
