4-steps

(No Picture)

I really enjoyed working with this piece and making it the way I wanted. I feel achomplished about this work of art, the design was very well done. The idea worked about this project and the design, but the painting and color template did not. If I were to do this project again I would taske more time with it to inmprove the color of the painting. The color template was the hardest beacuse I could not get the right color I wanted. I learned brush strokes are important and that a touch of color can make all the difference.

Clay

(No Picture)

My overall thoughts are that my clay could have been alot better. I dont feel very successful about this piece due to the fact it fell apart at the end. Sculpting it worked about this project although it dried out before I could form it better. If i would to do this again I would do it more quickly and get more moist clay. The most difficult part was forming it the way u wanted it because it kept falling apart. I learned you need to work fast and be elegent with clay.

9 part abstraction drawing

My overall thoughts on this piece are that it turned out better than expected, I thought that the design would be extremley tough, but once I got started it got easier as I went along. I feel pretty successful about this piece the shading turned out great. The shapes and designs worked about this project the shading worked in some places but not in others. If I were to make changes I would draw different pieces of ther object I was drawing. The most difficult part was the design of it, the object had small deatails everywhere. I learned every little detail counts to make the drawing better.

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.
