Reflecting at the end of year

It seems like as I have been going back through my blog that I was good at using color in my projects. What I mean by this is that most of my projects were a variety of colors not one solid boring one. I think one challenge I had at the begging of the year was size and proportion. I noticed that somethings could have been a little better or turned out differentley if I had made them bigger. I noticed however by the end of the year I have been much better at doing this. I think sometimes one thing that could be hard for me was starting a new project. I would understand what I needed to do and everything but I might have a challenge getting started on an idea that came to mind that I could do. I think that I will take away that it is not necessellarly important to worry about how something will turn out but that it is soemtimes more important the steps it takes you to get to your final result. What I mean is that sometimes your tought process and how you went about doing something could be more important than a final result. I will also take away that even if your trying to copy or do soemthing similar for a project and the thing your tryng to copy already exist that you dont necessellarly have to make it exactly the same thing. You should think about how you want it turn out not how u think it should or is ment for it to. I guess sometimes this could have been a small challenge for me sometimes because sometimes I like to have things come out how they are suppose to if im trying to copy something.

Sketchbook Archeology

This year sketchbook has gone okay for me. I have noticed sometimes I have lots that I can put in it and other times I find I dont have many things to put in it. Some of my scketchbook is designes and shapes and some are pictures of me or of things I like or enjoy doing. I noticed I have put some baseball and sports pictures in it that show that I like baseball. I also noticed that many of the designes I put in are sometimes just shapes or one design overlapping another one.

Jacoby Ellsbury. He is really fast so I would make a rabit running and he would run to a house because he runs around the bases fast and because he stole home last year agianst the yankees. I might make a rabit and a house and have a path the rabbit would take to get to the house. I picked a rabit because they are known as pretty fast animals and Ellsbury is pretty fast.

The pictures we looked were terrible. It was hard to think how a place could end up looking like that.
I would probably want japan to have peace and hope in the rebielding proces of what was destroyed.

Getting back to materials

I used pipe cleaners to make a picture of my head. I used pipe cleaners because I thought it wouldn't be to hard to attach them together and they would bend easily into wahtever shape I needed them to. I felt that my project was okay. It was a little challenging making it at first but I think it came out pretty well when I was finished.
