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.

Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Paintings

My symmetrical painting is my favorite of the year, my asymmetrical not so much. I rushed through it to make sure my symmetrical turned out just the way I wanted it to. I wish I would have taken a little more time on it. On the other hand, my symmetrical took a long time to blend all the colors and make it look put together. These are my favorite paintings so far.

Color Wheel

The hardest part about this project was making the color wheel a different shape, and making it unique. I feel like this looks more like an awkward star then anything else. On the other hand, I faded the colors well, and the paints look well together. It took a long time mixing the color to get them right. This projects was one of my favorites.

2 Point Perspective City

Again, this was an easier drawing. I didn't take much time on it. I feel as though I could have did more to fill up the blank spaces, or made the buildings realistic colors. I could have also put more details into the buildings. The most difficult thing about this drawing was trying to make the buildings different from each other. I only have on that is different shape from the rest, I could change that. I learned to pay more attention to detail and to fill spaces so it doesn't look so weird.

2 point Perspective Name

I thought I did fairly decent on this piece. I drew too big so I couldn't fit my entire name on the page, so I went with my nickname. This piece was also really easy to do, and took very little time. If I were to do it over again I would try harder to fit my entire name on there, and maybe change where my name is the largest. I learned that it isn't the best thing to rush when doing my projects.

1 Point Perspective Hallway

This is one of the easier projects we have done. Just like my 1 point perspective city, every line had to go somewhere, and I like that more then free-handing. I wasn't as successful with these drawings as my others. I left out some of the details on my original hallway, and I could have been a little more creative with my redesigned hallway. Make it more my own. This was also one of the more difficult things about this project also. I have figured out that I tend to rush through the easier projects just to get them done. If I took more time, maybe then I would have a more original and creative hallway.

1 Point Perspective City

I think I should have added in more buildings, and made room for more streets and details to make it more realistic. There is a lot of open space that needs to be filled. This is one of the easier projects we have done so far because we used a ruler, and every line had a place it had to be, instead of free-handing it. I think the most difficult about all my projects is the detail you have to put into it.

Super Hero

This is one of my favorite drawings I have done. It turned out great! I thought that coloring the superhero with dimensions in the color were going to be the death of me, but it turned out that it was easier than I anticipated. I think I could have spent a little more time on the arms of Iron man, make them look a little more realistic. The most difficult thing about this project was, like I said, the coloring. Giving all the red dimension and making it look realistic was pretty difficult and took time to make it look good.

Still Life Drawing

I'm really excited about how this piece turned out. I'm not very good at shading, I think it's the most frustrating thing we can do,and it turned out great!I think all the dimensions and shading really add to it. The one thing that really didn't work is the glass jar and vase. Shading glass is harder then regular shading, so compared to everything else they are really dull and lifeless. If I were to redo this project, that is what I would redo. Maybe take them out overall, or position them better on the paper.

Pop Cans

This is one of our first projects we did. I really liked drawing this because of all the detail and work you had to pay attention to. For this being one of the first projects, I thought I did really well on it. I think I should have made the cans a little more proportional, because it looks a little weird that one is bigger than the other. Even though I liked having to pay attention to the detail, that was one of the hardest things to do. Looking at all the creases and cracks and drawing it on the paper is a lot harder then it looks.
