1st Project:

Reflection:

One thing that I have learned so far while doing this art piece is drawing eyes. I used to not ever be able to draw eyes. I try to ask people what they see too, because sometimes I have just looked at it for to long to be able to see a mistake. I am still working on getting the shading look smooth and not ruff and blotchy. I tend to lay my drawing up against something and step back to see if I can see any of my mistakes or things I need to change. Overall I need to keep working on my shading and values of everything.

2nd Project:

Reflection:

Overall I think that this piece is going to be challenging due to me not ever doing stippling. I am going to learn a lot during this project, just like I did my last project. For this project I wasn't to sure if I wanted to do it due to me never doing something like this. Some of my hopes for this class is for me to actually learn how to do stuff this year rather than me trying to teach myself.

3rd Project:

Reflection:

This piece has been challenging, I feel that it has to be very detailed and overall just how I want it to look. I feel that it will be very challenging and overall help me as an artist. I think it will further my drawing skills as well. With me now working on two different project I feel that that will help because I wont be as overwhelmed because I get to back and forth.

4th Project:

Reflection:

I am working on this piece at home. I am just starting this project and have never done a colored pencil drawing. So I don't know how much outline I needed, so I just keep doing more and more but I think I will start to use colored pencils tomorrow.

Pt. 2

Reflection:

I am really liking doing this project, I am currently working on the ear of the dog. The way I know that my piece is finished is when I am fully satisfied with what it looks like. I try to do everything to the fullest that I can I don’t try to leave stuff out especially if it is something that will mean something important.

Progress/Question:

I am doing a drawing/medium that I have never done before. I decided on my own that I am going to watercolor it, and then outline everything in thin point sharpie.

Reflection/Progress:

I have never even done anything on the potter's wheel so the whole entire thing is a new technique

Reflection/Progress:

I am starting to actually be able to create something by this new technique I am learning how to do

Reflection

I messed up at first, but then I just made it look cool

Reflection

This was my first actual okay looking cup that I did by myself

2.12.21

Reflection

I made this to put a succulent in on my nightstand

2.17.21

Reflection

I made this bowl because I eat cereal all the time whether it's for breakfast lunch or dinner, I feel like I am actually starting to learn how to use the wheel, I started this without knowing anything about it, and I feel that I have started to actually understand how to do it

Reflection

I am very happy with how this turned out, I love the abstract colors and the overall look of the bowl. I didn't really know what design I was going to put on the bowl but I'm happy with what I chose.

Reflection

How did you respond to challenges that occurred as you worked?

When we started we were trying to have it be a dolphin but it looked more like a turtle so we problem solved and decided to do a turtle

Did your work take an unexpected turn due to a mistake or did something happen that was unplanned?

it started as a dolphin and ended as a turtle

What was your approach and what outcome have you achieved from the problems you encounter and faced?

we had to figure out what else it looked like and try to work with what he already had made and the closest thing it looked like was a turtle

Reflection

How does “stepping back” help you to make decisions about what you are working on?

it makes you see a different perspective of your piece

When have you stepped back and analyzed your work during this project?

i have stepped back two or three times and have changed things, for example, I redid the shell design so it matched better with Auroras

What changes, adjustments or other decisions have you made during the creative process as a result of a “step back”?

I redid the shell design so it matched better with Auroras

Reflection

What are some artists or cultures that you find inspiration in??

I like the Mona Lisa/ Leonardo da Vinci because its a painting of a person and I like to paint/draw people as well

How do you use technology to assist in your creative endeavors?

I use it to create a grid and find inspiration

As a member of a community, how have you participated in anything regarding art?

I created a logo for the zero suicide foundation and I created the trailer that they use

Reflection

What makes a person a successful artist?

I work really hard in what I want it to look like at the end

What is valued most?

I believe it has to be that you truly like your piece and that it doesn't

matter what others think because it is what you like and that all that matters.

Can someone be highly skilled not be “successful? Explain.

yes, because they could be able to do something it just wouldn't

be meaningful and would be pointless of them to do it

Can someone be considered a successful artist but lacks skill? Explain.

yes, because they have tried to do something as well as they could and if

they like it then that is all that matters
