Painting



If I were in the place I painted, it would be very hot and sunny.  It would hear the birds flying above. I would feel the sand in my face in the wind.  I would see camels in the desert and maybe an oasis on the other side of a dune.

Flowers in Illustrator

These are the flowers I made in Adobe Illustrator.  I like how i put two distort stars on top of each other to make it look more like a flower.

iPad and Clay Sculptures

 I felt this is probably my best project in this class so far.  My fish looking monster has good looking eyes and my clay sculpture looks very close to my iPad sculpture.  I think I could have had more details on my sculptures and had it more exciting.  The hardest part pf this project was actually making it on the iPad, because it was a new program that I had to learn to use.

Zentangle


 I feel like this zentangle project was an overall success.  We were able to fill up a big space and make it look good.  At first we weren't able to tie the whole picture together, but at the end we did it.  If we did this project again, I think the picture could be pulled together better and planned out from the beginning.  The hardest part of this project was not getting paint on our clothes and to be able to have constant lines.  The paintbrush didn't keep the paint on the brush very well and the brushes were so wide so there was no small details able to be done.

Reflection from first quarter

This is my most successful piece of art.  I  feel like this is my most successful artwork, because I took my time and I like the background.  Even though I only did one stencil, I had two different colors for the background.  I also like the white border that I made out of wood.  I think I'm going to hang this piece of art on my wall.
This is the piece of art that I learned the most from.  I learned that it takes good teamwork to reach a goal.  My group did not coordinate very well, and there was no real team leader.  We ended up throwing up random stuff and it ended up almost looking like a UFO terrorizing a city.  We could have also planned out what we wanted to make, and then tried to make that.

Giraffe Prints

This is my prints of a giraffe.  I feel like my actual pad that I used to make the prints, was pretty good.  On the other hand, I don't think my actual prints look very well.  This is probably because I used too much paint on the pad.  I like the spots on the giraffe, but i don't think the trees worked very well next to the giraffe.  I think that if I had a chance to do this over again, I would be more careful, applying the paint to the pad.  Through this project, I learned that I need to take my time, and be more careful as to what I am doing.

Spray paint portrait

This is my Spray paint project.  I personally think that this portrait could be better, because instead of choosing multiple colors to spray paint on, I painted multiple colors in the back.  I personally felt that this project was fun, because we not only used spray paint, but we also built the frames for the picture.

Self Portrait

This is my self-portrait.  The most important thing that I learned, was that my face isn't white.  It is all lightly shaded, and then shaded darker a little bit more for darker areas.  I also learned that my eyes are in the middle of my face, and the distance in between the two eyes are the length of one eye.  It was very hard to do the hair, because of the difference in the values.

Stencil Project

This is the picture for the next stencil project.

Value Scale

My value scale was very well done and the shadows worked very well in the drawing.  I would choose a more complex ppicture to challenge myself if I had to do it over again.  The hardest part of the project was finding the shapes of different shades.  I learned that nothing will be one color in dfferent lights.

Shadow Project


 I felt like the group as a whole did not do very well, especially Griffin.  Many of my group memebers didn't work very hard or at all.  I thought this scene looked very cool with the UFO and it terrorising the city.  The hat worked really well as the UFO, but I don't think the tape on top of the building worked very well.  If I could have done this over again, I would have chosen to do an individual thing, not a scene.  The most difficult part of this project was the working together as a group.  I learned that we need good teamwork in order to get stuff done.

I cut out a Rhino using photoshop and then I put it on top of the leaning tower of pisa.

Chick's Skeleton

My sketchs of Chick in my opinion is a very different.  I felt that I improved drastically from being an amateur to becoming an intermediate.  My second drawing has a lot more details, such as the jaw bone, neck bone, and the ribs.  I think that I could have done better on the arms.  If I were able to do this over again, I would draw smaller, because I ran out of space.  It was hard to make sure the porportions were right, because the ribs were twice the size of the head and I made the head really big.  I learned that I need to plan out my drawing, before I start drawing so that way I won't run out of space.

Newimal Bone Structure

This is my drawing of a newimal.  It is just the bone structure of the newimal.  There are the main bones such as the skull, spine, and hip bone.  The tail has multiple bones attached to each other and the ribs are attached to the spine.  the claws have two seperate bones.  The wing has a border of bones and also three seperate bones attaching the spine and the border.
