WORK IN PROGRESS...

UPDATED
I need to finish a few more than I can start working on my display


 I have been struggling with figuring out how I would display my tiles.I originally thought it would be nice to display them in a shadow box with a light but I wanted to be able to interact with them .I came up with an interactive innovative idea.I will post the idea for displaying them very shortly 


Final Tiles!!!...on coasters













Reflection: I loved this assignment. I was able to independently explore and create work on my own free merit. I loved coming up with a theme, I found that my interest are truly represented in these tiles and others can visualize and recognize my interest as well. I think it is a wonderful feeling when someone can associate  the art work with the artist and after the assignment was completed I took so much pride in my work and I am ready to dive into the next project.
