What can you do with Crayons?

For a project I wanted to do something with crayons. I descided that I wanted to melt the crayons to make this shooting star effect. To do this I had to paint a star on the board and then get my own crayons and hot glue them to the board and eventually melt the crayons. I love this project. I thought I did a really good job with this. I dont think I would change anything about this project. Maybe I would make the star bigger so there could be more crayons. The most difficult part was hot gluing the crayons to the board and then melting the crayons without making a mess or getting the wax everywhere on the board. This was a fun project. I think that maybe I might try it again but with something a lot more interesting. I learned that you can do a lot of things with art. You can create many different things in art.  

Summer on the Farm

My overall thoughts on this art work would be that it was a pretty easy painting to do. I think that I couldv'e done better than this because there are some spots in this painting that couldv'e been way better. For example, the fense for the barn could have been more straighter. I liked this picture because it represents the summer on a farm. With the sun shinning and the cow eating some grass. If I was to do this over again I would make sure I took more time on it and used better painting skills. Like better brushes and paint colors. There really wasn't anything that was difficult about this project but I think making the cow have the details it should have. I learned that if I take my time on projects they will turn out better. I like this project but it is not the best project I have done or will do.

Animal Water Color

When I did the animal drawing I thought it was cool. The only part I didn't like was the water color part. Water coloring isn't really my thing. I'd rather just paint with regular paint. But this was still fun. I defintiely didn't think that it was going to turn out this good. I really like his eyes and the color of the background. It looks kind of like its in the grass. I don't think I'd want to do another painting with water color.  

Stamp

This project was really cool. I enjoyed making the stamp. The tricky part was making summer backwards on the stamp so it'd show the right way. I think it'd be cool if we were to do this again next year. Another bad thing was that you couldn't get the stamp to turn out perfect.

Tile Project

On the tile project I am working with Sierra Nesen. We chose a pop artist because we liked the style. We want to do something like the picture above but we are going to change somethings. We want to make the background like paint splattered. Like this picture above how it has the spatters of paint on top, we are not sure if we want to do it like that or not. We are going to do the tree and background first then choose if we want to add in the paint splatters on top.

My Sketchbook(:

My overall thoughts on this sketchbook was that it was very colorful and bright. I feel that I did a good job designing this book. I enjoyed making it, but I think I should've used a different bag, so that I could personally design the front cover. So far after the two first sketchbooks, I enjoy drawing in it. I think this was a good idea for us to do. It lets us use our imagination for each drawing we do.

Art Career

     My art career I would like to pursue in doing would be interior design. I choose this because I think that designing a room or house would be fun, especially combining colors and textures and designs. The average salary for an interior designer would depend on where you want to live and become an interior designer. The most you can get is $68,000.

     Duing a Interior design job would consist of creating a room using colors, textures, shapes and designs all together. It would take atleast 2 to 4 years of schooling in the interior design. I'd probably be working by myself unless I have a helper. After looking into interior design I would still want to become an interior designer. I still think it would be fun to do.

Gesture Drawing

My over thoughts on this piece is that I think I did a good job on getting the details it needed. I believe that this is one of the best drawings I did that were people. Usually I cannot draw people at all but when I did this I think I did a pretty good job. The best thing that worked about this project is that I could pick out of any magazines what I wanted to draw. I like being able to choose what I can draw, even though sometimes I can't think of anything to draw. If I was to do this over again I would pick more detailed people because one of the girls is not very detailed. The most difficult part about this project was getting the shaded parts shaded, and using the white to make the lighter areas not so dark. I learned that it is not easy trying to draw someone with so many details in their clothing and getting all the shaded part shaded the right way. 

Winnie the Pooh

                                                                                 I really liked doing this project. It was fun because I love to paint, we got to pick whatever we wanted to draw for this project. I feel that it was the best project that I ever painted, I know it could have been better if I would've took more time but I really think this is good. If I was to do this over again I would probably pick something else to draw instead of Pooh, and like I said earlier I would have took more time to make this look better. The most difficult thing was drawing Pooh and making it bigger to zoom into one certain object because you had to make sure it was the same as your other drawings. I learned that if you take your time during this project it will turn out really good, but if you rush through the painting it gets messed up. I really liked doing this project.

Dot Project

                                Sea Horse

My overall thoughts about this project was that it looks better than I thought it would. When I was working on this project I thought that at the end it would look bad, but it actually doesn't. I liked that we got to use the other end of the paint brush to make this painting. I never thought that the other end of the paint brush could make a painting like this. If I was to do this over again I would make the dots a different color, maybe make them correspond with the Seahorse. The most difficult part was making sure you had the same size of brush for each color. I learned that you can pretty much do anything to make a picture. My favorite thing about this was that we used any colors, any object, and any size of brush to make this project. I would like to do something again like this again. :)
