Introduction to Studio Art

Hand portrait

Doing this project I learned how to draw a photo of something onto a piece of paper and how to draw value. My favorite part of this project was drawing the outline of the picture onto the paper. My least favorite part of this project was drawing the value for the thumb. One thing I wish I could change would be the shape of the thumb.

Turtle Drawing

Doing this project I learned that you shouldn't be afraid to color in the picture dark. My favorite part about this project was coloring in the picture. My least favorite part of this project was coming up with something to draw. If I could change one thing on my drawing I would add a "T" in the word "Still".

Fruit Bowl

While doing this project I learned how to blend coils together. My favorite part of this project was painting the bowl. My least favorite part of this project was blending the coils. If I could do one thing better I would make it more sturdy.

Jar

I learned from this project that when making a jar you shouldn't give your jar a straight rid and lid. My favorite part of this project was scooping out the inside of the jar. My least favorite part of the project was getting the shape of the jar. If I could redo this project I would write something on the candy corn.

Watercolor Starfish

I learned from this project that when using watercolor you should always layer your paints, and that some areas might not take as many layers. I also learned that you have to be very patient. My favorite part of this project was doing the background. My least favorite part of this project was doing the pen part of the project. If I could redo one part of this I would have done the middle of the starfish different.

Spot the Differences

I learned from this project a lot about how to photoshop pictures and different tools you can use like how to make something disappear. My favorite part of this project was making pole on the right hand side of the picture disappear. My least favorite part about this project was trying to figure out how the website worked. If I could do one thing different in this project I would make the window on the left hand side a different color.

My Story

I learned from this project to be more creative and think outside the box. My favorite part about this project was finding stuff around the house to use. My least favorite part during this project was trying to make the people. If I could do one thing different I would make it more colorful.

Whistle

I learned from this project how to add clay onto another piece of clay. My favorite part of this project was painting the bee. My least favorite part of this project was trying to make it whistle. If I could do one thing different I would make the eyes smaller.

Insect painting

I learned from this project how how to make shadows. My favorite part of this project was was sketching out the insect onto the paper. My least favorite part of this project was how bad the paint trays would smell. If I could do one thing different I would blend it better.
