Watercolor

I did not like this project as much as I thought I would this was a lot more difficult than expected. I do not feel very successful on this project due to the sloppiness and not very well mixed colors. The idea worked well for this project, but the colors did not work well together here. If I were to do this over I would change the color pallet and make the colors flow more. The most difficult part was putting to much color in one spot. I learned brush strokes and time will make a project better or worse.

Character Skeleton

My overall thoughts on this piece is that i loved doing this project I have always wondered the characters that I have seen on TV looked like if they had structures like us. I overall feel pretty successful on this piece because I put a lot of time into it and lots of detail. The actual character worked, but the skeleton was more difficult and I had trouble trying to make it fit its shape. If I would do this project over again I would not make any changes I think its good as it is. The most difficult part was the skeleton and trying to make it fit the shape. I learned that there is more than meets the eye when it comes to animation.

Cell

I thought this project was cool because we got to see how animation cartoons are made and we got to start our own.I feel pretty successful on this piece because I got to create my own character and I feel I did well on the painting. The backdrop and character worked well together, but the size difference made it so it had to be shrunk. I would have added some more detail if I were to do this project over again. The most difficult part was trying to create as much detail as possible because detail is everything. I learned how animation characters were made and how important detail is.

Letter form #2

This piece made me think of how you can create new objects and shapes by using other shapes and stuff. I overall feel pretty good on this project because of my letter choice. The combination of the letters worked well here, but the paint strokes were kind of blotchy and messy. If I were to do this project again I would take my time on the paint strokes to make more straitened lines instead of blotchy. The most difficult part was the overlapping and trying to make it flow in which in this case it does not. I learned better brush strokes and taking your time can make or break a piece of art.

Scavenger Hunt

My overall thoughts on this piece are good thoughts I felt this strained my shading skills to the limit and truly tested me as an artist. I feel overall pretty successful on this piece due to the organization of the items and the extensive shading I put into it. The organization worked well on this piece, but I could have done some things differently on the shading there needed to be a little bit more light parts. If I were to do this again I would go a bit lighter with the shading in some parts. The most difficult part of this project was the shading and trying to make it light and dark this was due to my lack of skill with shading. I learned how important shading is and how it brings more life to the piece.

Letter Absract

My Overall thoughts on this piece are that I did pretty well choosing the letter shaping and the format. There could be some improvement on the painting job other than that I think it is a good piece of art work. I feel overall successful for this project I put a lot of time into it and focused on how it shaped . The lettering format worked well with this project, but the painting could have been better I need more strait lines across the border. If I were to do this project over again I would do a better job on painting it and making it look strait on the borders instead of blotchy. The most difficult part about this project was trying to keep the paint in the lines and making it flow nicely with the shape of the letter. I learned that while painting in such a narrow area it is best to have strait border lines and make it look like it flows.
