Skittles, LETTSGO.

Currently we are working on doing mossaics of ourselfs via skittles :). It is way harder than I was expecting and a lot more skittles are needed than expected. Despite not much progress, I am seeing imporvement and looking at it far away I can see how it may look like my face. I wish we would have done the project with supplies that are cheaper like jellybeans but i think the overall project will turn out good! 

Work in progress...

Shadow Art

This project was fun and a way to make art out of garbage nobody would think to use. We got to try out our spontaneous ideas and brainstorm how to improve the images produced with the projector. It would have turned out better if we could have focused our ideas but overall I think it was successful!

Value Portrait


My portait drawing
My overall thoughs on my drawing is I think it is a huge imporvement from when I first started Art I. The eyes could have been more realistic and I should have done one eyebrow hair at a time instead of just shading it in. Also, the shape of the eyes and nose could have been more acurate. If I had to do this project over agian I would have drawn more shapes on the tracing paper and focused on my shapes more. I think the shading was successful but I could have been blended  it more. I learned that drawing portraits are actually possible and are easier with tracing paper. :)

Masking Tape


Over all this project was successful in creating a art pallet and paint brush. The shapes look good and can be identified. My contributation was creating the practice sample of the design and particpating in making the final product. Coloring the masking tape to represent paint on the pallet worked well but the diagonal lines could have been more straight. If I had to do this project again I would be more creative and contributed more to the design. The most difficult part of the project was taking a design on paper and recreating that. I learned art can be made with anything!

In the making.
