Douglas murder


These various pictures were taken at the scene of the crime on January 10, 2014, at 10:06 A.M. Mrs. Douglas called the North Pole police, alerting them that her husband Mr. Douglas was found dead. The only evidence found was an axe left at the stump of Mr. Douglas. His son Douglas Jr. was the only witness of the crime but as of now, is too traumatized. 

I honestly struggled with this project because I had absolutely no idea what to do. Senioritis was getting to me and it became hard to really do anything. I wanted to do something Christmas related, maybe from the tree's perspective. It took a really long time to get this in the kelm. About two weeks top and today is the last day for any art projects so I rushed to finish this. Not my best work. I actually learned how to make Christmas trees by working with fondant and I applied this to my advantage. I originally wanted to put cotton around to make it resemble snow. Unfortunately in the kelm, one of the trees shattered. Originally Mr. Douglas was suppose to be missing but instead I used the shatter tree, which was suppose to be Mrs. Douglas, as the dead tree. I think it's pretty funny

Toothiana

I had such a hard time deciding what to do for the project. I wanted something that was cheap but versatile. "Hey, cereal is cheap," I thought. So I asked my dad to get the fruity pebbles but he got fruit loops instead. First I was disappointed but I made it work. My favorite part about this project was crushing the cereal into a fine powder to make the wings. It gave it texture and made Toothiana pop out. Even from a distance you can tell what it is. This took a while to make...cereal and glue is messy. But I'm happy with the end product. Everyone ate my leftover cereal. I enjoy the different textures and colors.
