India
Preflection
In this project we will be taking orphans pictures from India and drawing them in our own style. We are doing this out of the kindness of our hearts and to give hope to those orphans that there are people out there that love them and see them. I feel really excited about this assignment and I'm ready to step outside my boundaries and challange my artistic abilites.
Reflection
The most important aspect of this portrait is that I capture the personality and the little details of the orphan I am drawing. This activity is considered a form of worship because we are taking God's creation and admiring and creating it into something even more beautiful. I would consider this project successful when I'm proud of it and am happy with the results.
Thoughts
I think these past four weeks have shown me my weaknesses and my strengths. I've realized that I am much better at colored pencils and I enjoy them more than just pencils and oil pastels. I have also learned how to trust the process. I have especially learned this with oil pastels. Out of all three I chose colored pencils because I know that is my strength between the three and I want this project to look as good as possible for this child.
Servant Working
This project has helped me to stop focusing on myself so much and to appreciate the beauty of others. I really was nervous to start this project because I wanted to make them look good and I was scared I was going to mess that up in some way, and I also want them to see just how beautiful they are through my artwork. I think that it turned out really well and I really do hope that they enjoy the portrait I did of them. It has also helped me realize that my artwork isn't only going to be enjoyed by me but also others as well.
Reflection
This project was so fun and I really enjoyed doing it. It was so fun to be able to draw a portrait for someone other than myself. It really challenged me because I wanted this project to turn out perfect for this orphan. I wanted him to be able to see the beauty that I was able to see in him while I was making this project. Overall I was pretty happy with the final results of the portrait, I was really nervous at first but I really am so happy with how it turned out.
