Feedback on collage project

• Maybe have a lot of faces and just scatter them in the background and fill up the page
• Make a stand where the people or the faces could be

Drawing from observation

Drawing the cup, pin cone and block was fine drawing the darks and lights was a little harder because at first glass the whole thing looked a solid color with not much difference in lights and darks.

suggestions on paintings

My group said that my painting looked good. They said that in the background of my monster maybe I could put some sort of design or something to make it even better.

Pour Pantings

It was okay giving up control when we where making a painting. There wasn't a whole lot of things forming on the page there where a few bunches of blobs that I was able to make something out of them. When I returned to my painting to add on to it after it had dried I saw a bunch creatures and some animals starting to form. I ended up making a monster out of one of the big blobs and a whale out of a smaller one that kind of looked like an oval. I think my picture is almost done maybe if I wanted I could put a few finishing touches before I call it done.

Collaborative Drawings.

Having someone else work on my drawing was an interesting experience to see what other people thought I was thinking. I had a few things already on my paper and the people who changed my drawing just added on. The kept working on my tree and added some lights and darks. It was kinda nice to have others work on your drawing as well because it gave u more opportunity to have it look more like something else or give you more ideas. I think at first it was hard for me because my picture had changed a bit. There was now lights and darks at the end when I hadn't exactly thought about doing that. I had just planned for a bear chasing a monkey up the tree and a cat getting scared and running up a tree.

Talk and Draw

A challenge that I had doing this project was that we couldn't look at what we where suppose to be drawing. We had to get as much description about an object as we could from our partner who was looking to be able to draw it. Sometimes it was hard to draw an object because our partner had a little bit of trouble describing a shape to us. What I might do differently is I might have my partner when there drawing to draw the shapes and things bigger so that it would easier for them to put the other things next to the proper shapes in the right spots cause it was hard to describe the shapes.

Thinking about the Artist.

Everybody can be an artist if they want to and set there mind to it. Being creative is coming up with different ways you can make your thing or project you are doing look good. An artist needs to be able to be open to suggestions from others on certain art projects they may need or end up doing. To be productive and creative u need to plan your time and use the materials u have to make your projects look good.

Reflecting on blocks, play dough, and finger paint.

When I played with the play dough I made coil strands. The block I played around making towers until they fell down. I made hand prints with the paints. I knew what to do because I just played around and tried something out and if it wasn't exactly what I wanted I went with it and moved on and made it better. I have used these materials before so they weren't knew to me and I just used them in ways I have before.
