Underwater Scene

For my fourth project I chose to do the underwater scene. I did a copy of the tutorial and then added something to it to make it an original piece. This project turned out almost exactly like I thought it would. I am proud of the whale and the planets I was able to add to the scene and how good it ended up looking. My favorite aspect of this project was creating the top of the water and the light. The project was a lot quicker and easier than I expected. If I did this project differently then I might try and make the water a different color or add some type of filter to it.

Metal Collage

For my third project I chose to do the metal collage. I decided to go straight to my own metal collage instead of doing the example. The project took longer than I thought it would but I think the time spent on it was well worth it. The final piece turned out probably better than I thought it would. I am proud of the detail I was able to add to the Darth Vader helmet, it was the most difficult part to do. My least favorite thing about doing this project was finding all of the pieces to use in the collage. I would rate my final piece as a nine.
