About My Art Work

This term for art we did string art. First I picked my design which was a duck and put it on a doc. Then we printed it out and stuck it on a piece wood. I drew crosses on the corners of the duck and nailed nails on the crosses on the duck. After that I picked a coloured wool that was yellow and and started twisting the wool from one nail to the other. It was hard because sometimes the wool keeped undoing and you had to keep doing two loops around the nails.

Once I did the wool I started to rip the paper off of the wood. But it was hard because it was so tight that when I keeped ripping it off little bits of paper was still under the nails. I came up with the duck because I was looking at animal string art and I found the duck. Why I picked the duck was because I wanted something with yellow in it and something that was an animal so I found the duck and it was yellow. I was going to do a orange beak but there was no orange. I found a brown and started the beak but it keeping coming undone because there was too much wool on the nails that the brown wool was going to go on.
