Final project

For the next couple of days I am going to draw in my sketchbook. I could not think of one project I wanted to do, but I thought it would be fun to make different drawings. I have been looking through pictures of peoples drawings in their sketchbooks on Ms. Roberts site and it has given me great ideas. Also, looking through the material in the art room helps me a lot. I can't wait to see what all my finishing drawings will look like

End of year Reflection

Art this year has gone amazing for me. I really have gotten a lot more into art class and I think my skills have improved a lot. I have always loved art, and coming into this year I thought my feelings for it wouldn't change, but I have grown to love it even more. I have learned new skills and techniques that will help me forever. I think my strengths are my creativity in projects, and figuring out how to use different materials, and drawing. I would love to be better at making my artwork more detailed. I will leave this class with a whole new view on art class, and a bigger passion for art. I am looking forward for the next three years of art class at Beaver.

SKETCHBOOK ARCHEOLOGY

When I look at the cover of my sketchbook I see myself in the beginning of freshman year. I remember all I cared about was bright colors and fun designs. I think I have learned a lot this year, I still incorporate bright colors into my art work, but I also learned a lot this year about symmetry and texture and adding it into my work. I also started to love pencil drawings and using charcoal and oil pastels. As I turn the pages of my sketchbook I see all the bright colors I incorporated with my drawings and all of the collages I have made. As I turn through the pages of the middle of my book I start seeing more materials I have used like the xerox transfer of a picture of Marlyn Monroe and also many different designs with oil pastel. Towards the end of all my drawings you can see there is a very diverse amount of work. Anything from blendings oil pastel colors, pencil drawings, layering of paper, details in my drawings, to spray painting different designs. I have really enjoyed working in my sketchbook a lot. It has definitely helped me with projects I have done, and also expressing my feelings throughout the year. It has let me test out different materials and designs I wanted to try. I am really happy with my sketchbook from this past year and will hopefully keep it with my for a long time.

Sculpture brainstorming

I am making a portrait of my 3 month old brother named Adam. I am going to make a bunny because they are so adorable, sweet, cuddly,  and innocent. My brother shows all those traits, he is the sweetest thing ever. I am going to put the bunny right in the middle with a backdrop of New York City because he lives there. New York City is such a crazy loud and fun city and it shows all the traits of  how my family is.
