Do not procrastinate. No matter how much you want to, don't do it. Because you're going to regret it. Ask your teachers for help because I promise you they want to help, and they want you to succeed. (1) ·
Don’t procrastinate!!! That was the biggest struggle for me was actually sitting down and doing the work. Also my capstone ended up changing multiple times and that’s okay. Not everything will work and all you can really do is try something else. (1) ·
Pick something you love doing, but maybe something you don't know much about. Then you'll be able to have your school project and also have fun while doing it. There were many times I forgot I was working for a grade and I just enjoyed what I was doing, so it still turned out great. (1)
Before this whole mess started, I was going to be a Stage Manager in our school’s musical production “The Addams Family.” I was given the position as stage manager because my teacher, Ms. Gates, saw me as a responsible student and trusted me to watch over a group of students. At first I was he (1) ·
My capstone is based on the concept of seeing something you like, thinking "I can make/do that, too," and learning how to do it without spending much money. For this project I focused on resin, sewing, and propmaking (for cosplay). (1) ·
My capstone project is the process of carving and printing. Starting out with the original drawing I have in my sketchbook to having a print. (1)
I originally described it as a furthering of talents I already had — learning composition for drawings and paintings, making my own molds and designing my own resin pieces, and learning how to sew better (I had basic knowledge before). (1) ·
I started off with wanting to teach myself how to crochet, but after talking with Ms Gates, she helped me to decide what I wanted to do with my Capstone. (1) ·
Originally, my capstone started out with expanding my skill set with different kinds of printmaking to expand my portfolio. I had planned on doing three linoleum prints, three etchings, and printing on textile with soft blocks. The linoleum and the etching pieces were going to be a series of three, (1)
I took away the composition stuff because I found the resin aspect to be way more fun. I also added propmaking because cosplay is something I love doing, and I love designing different aspects of characters that I can make myself. A lot of the projects I had planned had to be cut simply because I di (1) ·
Things didn't really go as planned at all. I was excited for the upcoming Musical at our school, but Covid-19 started to spread and unfortunately school had to close and the musical was cancelled. Originally I was going to describe my experience as a Stage Manager, but then I decided to include how (1) ·
Unfortunately my idea for the etchings went out the window as the trip was postponed. Also, etching is a difficult type of printmaking that requires the copper plate to be dipped in acid. Without my own studio, doing these would prove impossible. I was able to finish one of the big linoleum plates a (1)
I learned the important values of responsibility, dedication, teamwork, and leadership. (1) ·
Like everything in the world right now, life is unpredictable. Things don't go as planned and that’s very true with art as well. Learning how to adapt to how life is currently and finishing out my senior year has had it difficulties, but like with anything you can’t give up and quit. Printmaking (1) ·
Resin is way more finicky than I ever imagined. It's also not safe to touch without gloves. That was a good scare. Also, fur fabrics are the bane of my existence, but they're worth using because they cover up seam mistakes (also if you use the right ones, they're such a nice texture!).
I also lear (1)
