1. Which project was your favorite or most successful this semester? Please explain.
The ipad art drawings was definetly my favorite, when it comes to drawing I don't have the skill, but the shapes and the different shades I was really good at and I love the blending of the colors. Not to mention the way the ipad screen really makes the color pop, and I could use the skill of shading and blending of the colors in later projects. With the modernized time we are in now, using the ipads made it that much easier because I had used one before and could control my hand when drawing. This is the best piece I have done.
2. Regardless of whether you liked or disliked a project, which one did you learn, grow, or developed the most from? Please explain.
The Skeleton Drawing was my first ever masterpiece in an art class, which meant I had to actually try, whereas it isn't the best but being my first I think I did amazing. This also being probably the only art piece that I didn't rush my way through. You can see the outlines of the cartoon, and the differnt thicknesses of the lines being not all the same, giving a shape and some life to it. This one piece had set the tone for the rest of the semester and that makes it a model masterpiece.
3. Choose 1 piece of Art that you used skills and techniques learned from previous projects. Discuss your growth as an artist and how you incorporated these skills and techniques to create the piece.
The lanscape Drawing had many flaws in my eyes but to others it was a success. Maybe thats just the drama of an artist but to me this wasn't my most successful painting. I used the skills from my ipad drawings to shape and shade the baseball, but I don't have many defined or blended lines and it doesn't look 3D, it looks like all of the foreground middle ground and background are stacked up on top of eachother. I also used the contour drawings to draw out the outline of my trees which might have made them better then if I were to paint out every single tree . This painting really showes how blind I can be to details but it helped me grow by recognizing my flaws so that in future work I can pay attention to detail, and texture and layers in my painting, then to be proud of my work no matter their flaws.
4. Which project do you feel was the least important in learning the concepts taught in this course? Please explain.
It was the Photo shop picture that I thought really had no point< I mean I wasn't gonna go into design and stuff like that. Not to mention this being such a small project that we sort of did out of the blue during another project just made this a fun little break. The examples, practice ones we had to do , one word for it CREEPY.You can see the texture in the toungue and the scary color and volume in the mouth of the pancakes. Who thinks of putting a fish mouth on pancakes or a frog for a human toungue. But maybe thats just what it is, no one would think to do that and that makes it special and stick out, unique which is exactly what an artist strives for. Though random Photoshopping was the most fun thing we did in this class. Maybe one day I will be able to use my extreme photoshopping skills to the test.
5. Choose a piece or artwork where the subject matter reflects you as an artist. One that you have a personal connection to. Please explain your choice.
This piece is one of the many I could have done better on. But then agsin any piece has room for improvement. This piece i feel is a lot like me in a way, this piece has so many colors, vibrant and defined. Also it has so many pieces to it, little details that make the piece come together. Like a personality it can change in different areas and no matter how hard you try you can never make the same piece exactly the same again. I Like to think of myself that way, Iam not super boring and laid out like the cardboard, but adding color to my masterpiece everyday. This is a picture of me and Kenison in this photo the colors in my painting, Blue which means peace and trust, White which means purity and innocence, and yellow which means potomistic and cheerful. I'd like to be all of these things, that the stencil project represents.
