The nature of my design is the moon in the sky. The artist that inspired me was Georgia O’keefe because she is a wonderful artist and her artwork really inspires me. When I was thinking of what I should do I saw the moon and I said I was going to my design on the moon.

I am going to tell you about our tiles. We were inspired by Georgia O'Keefe and Frank Lloyd Wright. My tile is a mosaic with flowers and hearts in it. Georgia O'Keefe worked a lot with flowers and nature so we had to look at a lot of each of the artist's work to get ideas. First, we had to get our ideas for a design. Then we had to create our design. Then with my design, I had to put my shapes on sticky paper. When I got ready to pour I had to put my design on the table then we poured the concrete over it then smoothed it out.

Hey, I'm Lexi my 8th grade art and technology class has designed and built a garden with stepping stones and plants.Our project is mostly based on nature. A lot of the stones have nature themes to them. But others have their own theme. My influence on my concrete stone was from Georgia O'Keeffe. She paints many flowers and that's what my concrete stone looks like. But I put my own twist on it though. I put it off to the side, so it's only half of the flower. Then in the blank area, I placed broken mirror pieces in random. We used concrete, and we either embedded tiles,stencils, glass, or shells.

The natural things on my tile are the shells and the marbles. Well i wouldnt really consider the marbles natural because, they look like they were man made somewhere in a factory.They are the marbles you find inside of a design in your living room or something at your home. I don't think Georgia O' Keefe influenced me in any way. I used my own style and created something I thought would creative and that would fit my personality.As well as Frank Lloyd Wright he didn't influence me in any way because, I can't even remember his art work or any of his methods the ways he us to do his art work. For me to complete my tile I had to use small ceramic squares, sea shells, buttons, marbles, and pebles. Last, the technique iI used was enbedding them while the cement was still wet. I place them on ther carefully because if I didn't it would leave marks and it wouldn't be as smoove i wanted it to be.

My tile is a Georgia O'Keefe flower. It was made of concrete,and colored glass pieces that i aranged in the shape of my flower. I first drew my picture or my flower. The Igot some type of stinky tape and taped it down over my drawing. Aftre that I just cut up the pieces of glass &nd layed them across on my flower. When i was all done with the design i got some dry concrete mixed it with water, and mixed it up. When the concrete was ready I pour it on top of my drawing so that when it dried i could flip it over, and see the design. I used pink, and green glass pieces for my Georgia O'Keefe flower. Now that it is dry me,and my class dug up dirt so that our srone concrete could be stone steps for our school.

NATURE
One thing about my concrete piece is that it deals with nature. It deals with nature because it has nature like qualities to it. It has a sort of floral design. It is circular and colorful. I personally think it’s a creative design of nature. It is professional and neat. It’s like a beautiful flower with different shades of blue all in it. My piece is a form of expression of nature and I got all of my ideas from looking at Georgia O’Keeffe art works that Frank Lloyd Wright collected, they were my inspiration.

The nature of my design is the flower that I made on my tile and the concrete I used for the background. But the things that I used to color the flower in were not part of nature.
That is what I used for nature on my tile. The artist that influenced me the most was Georgia O’Keefe because of her amazing art work and beautiful flowers. That is way she is my influence in art. The materials I used were marble looking things to go on my flowers. The technique I used were poreing concrete into a square and smooth it out till there were no bumps

Okay, I’m Mckinzie, I’m in art/technology were making these designs. The designs were about nature, or other things but they were suppose to be about nature. I was influence by Georgia O’ Keefe by my design. She painted flowers and just did landscaping photos. Frank Lloyd Wright was another one but I was more influenced by Georgia O’ Keefe. The materials were landscaping tools and you had to dig holes outside for the garden. You had to draw shapes before you got to do the mold. Then you had too wait for about two days to sit out and dry before you got to get it out of the shape. Mine had these little stones in my mold that were colored.

For my tile i was inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe. In art class i saw a lot of Georgia's work, which was mostly flowers. She inspired me to make a flower for my concrete. By putting mosaics on contact paper before i made my design i was able to put it on my tile. First we created the form of our tile. Then we mixed concrete to put in to our tile. But like me i layed down the contact paper under my form so when i pour in the concrete my design is on there. I would like to call my design on my tile o'keeffe's nature,because the nature and Georgia inspired me.
