Most Successful
My most successful project was my Black and White Cutout. This project was really precisely cut and it showed in my final product. I decided to go with an American themed piece by showing the Eagle, Medal of Honor and Fallen Soldier Flag. This piece came to me because I have seen some of these images around. I understood the difficulty of using an X-ACTO Knife because I have used this tool in the past. My product fit into the criteria that was needed for this project. The instructions that were given to me allowed me to be free with what I did with my project but also restrictive. I was able to come into the art room and get right to work without any instruction on what to do because I knew what to do from the first day.

Least Successful
My least successful project was the Handimal. I really enjoyed doing this project and drawing my hand, but the final project was not very appealing. I did not like my texture in this drawing. The hair was too long for a bunny and this made it not look right. I understand that the idea was to put an animal on a hand I drew but the ears were off to one side and made this look unproportional. If I had to do this project again I would change the length of the hair to make the appearance noticeably better. I also did not show any depth. In a future piece I would include shading to show the curve of the face or the shadows from the sun. The sun in the top left corner would also be changed because the sun is never like that in present day. The sun is not in the right place to make the lighting on the bunny realistic looking. |
Most Improvement
I chose two pieces of art work in which I thought that I had made the biggest strides in quality. In the beginning of this art class I had struggled to shade or create value correctly. Shown in the piece above (Handimal), my depth was lacking a lot. After gong through this semester, my pieces had gotten a much more realistic feel and made the work look practical. The other area in which I strived the most through was the texture of animals. In the beginning of the school semester the hair that I put on my animals was way too long in comparison to the size of the animal. Towards the end I realized that the hair appears shorter and began drawing it this way. This helped my artwork more than any other way. The artwork I am using for shading is Cityscape and the artwork for texture is the Print Making

Personal Connection
The piece of artwork in which I had the most personal connection with was the landscape painting. The reason this was the most person is because I took the picture of the landscape in which I painted. I was in Alaska on a train and we were going through the mountains. My whole family was looking out the window at the beautiful landscape and we decided to take a picture of it. This photograph was the best of all that I took while on vacation in Alaska. I decided to paint this because it reminded me about the good times I had on my trip there. Painting this in class brought back memories in which occurred in Alaska and I really enjoyed that. No other piece had as much personal value in it therefore making this one the most personal.

Medium
The piece of artwork in which I had the most fun working on was the Clay Tile project because I actually felt like I was making something. Using the clay to make a three-dimensional whale tale was proven to be quite challenging but fun as well. Molding all the items on my clay tile was really fun. after working with the clay I would think it would just be a fun activity to do with friends but some people are really good and create sensational pieces from clay. I believe that clay is a great solution for doing something productive and fun. Being able to mold whatever you want out of clay gives it a personal type feel, yet many people take this to another level and create outstanding texture art work from this.
