When My Three Puppies Were Born

End of Term 1 Reflection.

This term art has gone has pretty well for me. I think I was able to meat expectations on the class works that I did. I have learned how to make certain parts of my images that I have drawn stand out from the other things in my drawings. For example in my glass half full project I was able to make the people who were suppose to be friends in the photo stand out, but I was aslo able to have the school building there and make it kind of as tho it was in the background. Before I wasn't as good at doing this. I feel that after having art class I am a little bit better at making art work on my own. One challenge in art has been mostly how should I go about starting a project once I have an idea. How should I get going with the materials I have or intend to use. I think I can get better at this by doing more projects. If I work hard and think about the upcoming projects I do in class and plan out my ideas before I get to work and start, I think I will be able to have an easier time when I'm ready to start. I think I have grown as an artist a lot this year. Before this year sometimes when I did art I would be worried about how a project I did looked or turned out when I was done. This term I have been more able to just focus on projects we have done and not worry about how the final out come of the project looked even if I didn't intend it to look like it ended up looking. I have noticed this term that I have been trying new things on projects. Like experimenting with lots of different types of materials. This term has gone well in art and I think if I keep up with the class work and keep working hard on my projects it will continue to go well for me.

Chair With Coat.

I found todays drawing the coat on the chair wasn't to hard. It was easy enough when I got the general shape of the objects. I was then able to go back in and do some shading. This one for me was much easier than the fabric and stick drawings to create. To create my drawing today I just drew the general image and the went back in and added more detail. So I did general to specifics.

Coming back to school after summer vacation Glass Half Full project

Making my two drawings went fine. At first I couldn't decide what to draw. But after I got an idea it wasn't to hard to make my drawings. I got feedback from a couple people and they said maybe draw another person. They also said sense I hadn't started my drawing of the negatives of coming back to school that I could possible draw a person sitting at a desk with a huge stack or books or papers pilled u and the person looking nervous. I like especially how I was able to come up with an idea and draw it without being to worried  about how it turned out knowing if I made a mistake I could just erase and keep right on going.
