Doodles

I liked doing this project I felt like I could draw whatever I wanted too, not to mention it's like doodling in other classes. I do not feel very successful with this piece it is not one of my best doodles due to that I had artist block and I did it awful fast. The bricks and the shading worked nicely here, but everything else looks kind of messy. If I were to do this over I would start from scratch and take more time and effort on this piece. The cactus doodle was the most difficult part of this project because it dealt with a lot of precision and took a lot of time to do and I fell I could do better.  I learned time will bring out the most of your art and show your true potential.

Clay sculptures

This piece was tons of fun to do,but it took awhile to complete. I thought I did overall well on this piece it looks very nice. I think this due to that it took a ton of my time and that i can use it around the house. The coiling worked well on this project,but the smoothing process took a bit longer than what I wanted. If I were to do this project again I would make it a little bit taller and I would adjust the handle a bit too. The most difficult part was trying to smooth the inside of the mug my hands could not fit and the tools would sometimes scratch the sides. I learned it takes time to make such simple things such as a mug and that the more time you put into it the more it means to accomplish something.

Color Wheel


 My opinion is that this project was fun to complete. Although I do think I could have done better on this project. I feel that I did overall well on this piece but the brush strokes could have been better this is due to my lack off wrist action involved in the brush strokes. The color coordination worked overall well on this project. The brush strokes did not work out so well you can tell it looks blotchy. I would consider to take more time and let the paint flow better instead of being blotchy if I were yo do this project again. The hard part of this project was trying to keep the paint inside the lines of the wheel and to make sure colors did not mix this was due to the type of brush and how it got more narrow. I learned that I need to work on my brush strokes and that use the right brush for the right job.


2 pt. Name

My overall thoughts on this piece is that it is good but not perfect there are some modifications that need to be done now that I look at it. I feel pretty like I did a pretty good job but I could have done better with this project. The three dimensional affects of the letters worked great on this piece, but the color coordination did not work as well as I hoped the colors don't blend like I wanted they clash. If i would do this project over again I would change my color coordination and make the colors blend together instead of clash. I would say the most difficult part about this piece was trying to make the letters fit on the page and to make the lines strait. I learned that I need to experiment with colors and figure out which goes best with which,also that I need to work on the proportional size of the letters.
