Reflection:

For my AP Art History midterm project, I took photographs inspired by each chapter and then used the drawing app on my Ipad to drawing on top of the images. By drawing on top of the inspired images I was able to incorporate more themes from each art movement into the drawings. The challenging part of creating this project was the drawing on top of the images. It was hard to get the details I wanted using a pen on my ipad. I used many different shape tools to create designs over the images. My favorites of all the images are the 14th century Italian art and Romanesque art. What I struggled with most was finding a way to incorporate the different themes from each chapter when some chapters covered a wide range of different events/ themes.

Reflection:

For my final project in AP Art History, I continued on with the same project I did for my midterm. I chose my favorite images/ themes from each chapter and I took photographs inspired by them and then I used a drawing app to draw on top of the photographs. My favorite image that I created is Early 20th Century Art and The Pacific because I was able to combine four works of art into one image. Something I struggled with was how to depict an entire chapters worth of art by only selecting a few images. I tried to use the photo to show one art piece and then the drawings on top to include a few more images from the chapter. I used many different shape tools; including lines, rectangles, and circles. It was challenging getting the drawing to look that way I wanted them too by drawing on the iPad. I feel like by doing this project it has help me memorize the art history images. I spent a long time taking the photos and drawing on top of them so I was able to study in the process. If I could change any of the images I would redraw a couple of them to make them incorporate more of the themes from each chapter.
