Calvin's Intro to Art Projects

Creative Lines Project

I enjoyed how challenging this project was.  I had to use a creative mind in order to actually make something.  I liked doing the 9 limes as one image more than the 9 seperate images.

Hand Drawing Project

I enojyed this project because I never thought I could draw something like this.  If you would have told me that I would draw this I wouldn't have believed you.  I thank Mr. Langmaack for the way he teaches the dots and shading because those helped tremendously in this project.

Landscape Painting

I liked this painting because I havn't painted in a long time.  I thought making the sky was the most fun part because I didn't know how to make clouds before now.  I thought the website we used to make it easier to paint was cool.  This project was fun and I enjoyed painting it.

Clay Jar

I enjoyed making this clay money jar.  It was fun to think of something that I wanted to make.  Being able to form different shapes and objects are enjoyable.  Overall, I enjoyed making bands and look forward to putting something inside of it.

Clay Whistle

The clay whistle was fun to make.  It was interesting to me how you make the whistle and that it actually works.  I love baseball and thought that making one would look really cool.  I like how when you pick it up you get to put your fingers on the "laces" like an actual baseball.

Clay Bowl

I enjoyed making this bowl.  It was fun to make the coils into what I wanted.  I also enjoyed making my own design so I could choose what my bowl looked like.  I was happy with how I did because mine doesn't have holes.  It also didn't crack so I would say I did pretty good.

Insect Oil Pastel

The oil pastel was not my favorite project but it was something fun to try.  It is very difficult and I have a new respect for people who can do it well.  The ladybug was fun to do because of the bright reds and the green background.

Fish Watercolor

This was probably my favorite project we have done in art.  It started off pretty rough, I wasn't sure what I was doing.  By the end I got better at it and feel good about my fish.  I think this is my best looking project I have done yet.

Bird Printmaking

I enjoyed this project.  This project was way different from any art I have ever done so it was fun.  Rolling out the colors and doing different designs was fun to mess with.  Cutting out the rubber was also enjoyable to me.
