1. I think the printmaking project was both my favorite and most successful piece all year. It was my favorite because I liked to carve out of the linoleum with the cutting tools. I also liked using the brayer to roll paint onto the print. I also think it turned out pretty good. After the original black one, I used more colors like blue, orange, and yellow to make it more interesting. I liked the print because it had nice texture and designs. I especially like using the smaller cutting tools for the hair because it make it look more realistic. It was even good enough to go on Mr. Sands' board!
2. I think I learned the most from doing the portrait project. It taught me how to draw facial features proportional to the head. I also learned a lot about shading and lighting. Even though the final product doesn't look the greatest, I still learned a lot of valuable things. I think the only thing that turned out good in the end was the hair. It has good detail and looks like it reflects the light. I think the major problem was the shading. It seems too dark everywhere, there isn't enough difference for the 3D effect. Too bad the kid I drew left the class the next day..
3. For the landscape project I used techniques from many different projects. I learned to draw the trees proportional to the trunks. I also shaded in everything with different colors to add effect. I think this project turned out pretty good in the end. But I still had a hard time making things look 3D. I think I will get better at that though with more practice. My favorite part about this project though was painting the sky background. I enjoyed that part because I got to experiment with different colors to find what was best. I definetely learned a lot in this art course. And I think that was represented well in this piece.
4. I think the moss project was the least benificial out of all. It was a cool idea, but I dont think anything actually happened to the moss. We also didnt apply any skills we learned from art to paint the moss. It was just fun. I would do it again because it was fun, but it didnt test my artistic abilities.
5. I think this stencil piece refelcts me best out of all the projects. It used my favorite color, and it's a car! I also like the way the shadow was added (with the help of Mr. Sands). It makes the whole thing look cooler and more detailed. I liked this project a lot also because we got to make our box out of wood. I liked cutting the wood and putting it together. But i didnt really like glueing the paper to the cardboard. But overall, I think this piece is pretty good, and reflects what kind of 'artist' I am.
