Banner

My banner turned out very well besides the fact that Puffpaff had us use the wrong paint and we had to waste a day scraping off the paint. It also took a while to blend all of the blues together to make it look like it was going from dark to light. I like to paint, so this project wasn't so bad. I probably should have made the lines on my windmills a little straighter also, but that's not so noticeable.

Pop Art

I absolutely loved how this project turned out, even though making it was so frustrating and annoying. Originally it wasn't supposed to be this big, but it all worked out perfectly, but that is the thing I would change. While making this project I have learned that paper mache is really hard to do, and I probably won't be doing it again anytime soon. Now this huge sombrero is sitting happily in my Spanish class :)

Stop Motion

The stop motion was pretty difficult and frustrating. This project was different, which I liked, but our video was simple and kinda cheesy. If I were to redo it, I would think of a better concept and different things to add to the video. I also wish we made the video flow a little more. There were parts when the shark would be in one place and the all the sudden it was in another, but it turned out well.

Character Skeleton

I'll be honest, I didn't really like this project. Drawing the character, that's fine, but drawing the skeleton was something I really did not want to do. I did a terrible job with the skeleton, it was very difficult to do I have to admit, but the character looks very good in my opinion. If I were to do this over again, I would have maybe worked harder on the skeleton and put it on the big black piece of paper I was supposed to put it on.

Cell Animation

This was more of a boring project. I didn't really do my best on this one, but it turned out pretty good. I wish that I would've done something different with the bleachers and the field, but trying to make the background work with the character is pretty hard. For this piece I learned to make straighter lines, or else it will look terrible when you look at it up close.

Scavenger Hunt


I think I did very well with this project, even though I hate shading. If I were to do this project over again, I probably would have chosen easier things to draw. I would have taken the ruler out because o all of the little dash marks, or the baseball ticket. The most difficult thing about this project was the shading, but I think it turned out well.

Clay Mug and Creature

I have to admit, working clay is actually really difficult. It's a lot of fun though! I was pretty successful with both my mug and creature. I absolutely hated hollowing out my creature though, I ruined it multiple times and it was very frustrating. I wouldn't change my mug, however I wish I would have done my penguins fins a little differently, they look a tad odd. Overall, I learned that clay is very difficult, frustrating, and messy, but it turns out good in the long run.
