Final
For my final, I am making another Ukrainian egg. Since the first time I made an Ukrainian egg, it broke so I am trying again. I enjoy making Ukrainian eggs and if I can be more careful than I did the first time I did this, I will keep making more. On my Ukrainian egg, some designs that were on the sketch have been moved around and placed differently on the egg itself. The symbols I put on the egg are symbols of Christianity and good things. Alwyn has made an egg holder for me to put my egg in. Thank you Alwyn!
Mosaic
In this project, I had to make a mosaic. I had the option to make my mosaic on a glass jar or plexiglass. I am making mine on plexiglass. My design will be clear and different shades of blue background of my pink flower. I really enjoyed this project. I would do this project again.
Paper Art
In this project, I had to make a design and cut into squares of paper to make different layers with different colors. I chose to have my project 6 inches by 6 inches and 15 layers of paper. I enjoyed this project. The only thing I had struggles with is using the X-Acto knife so carefully for certain parts.
Etching Practice/Etching
In this project, I had to first create a small practice to practice etching and getting used to how the tools work and how tools work with the patterns.
With the actual project, I had to first make a sketch. I decided to make a seahorse with an abstract design. I have to have at least five prints of my design. I will make at least four my progress and the fifth my final print.

Ukrainian Egg
My first project in Art III is an Ukrainian egg. I had to use beeswax to keep a certain color I wanted on the egg and then dye it a color, wax it, dye it, wax it, etc. until I get my last color on the egg. As the picture shows, I have dropped my egg before I was able to dye it for the last time. If I had enough time, I would have started over and be able to complete it.
