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.
