End of Term 1 Reflection.

I came into the year excited for art. I am not the best at it by I enjoy it. Art has been going really good. I have liked most of the projects that we have done in class. My favorite has been the robot magazine college. I have learned how to do a lot of things this term. I learned how to draw from general to specific and also to not over think my work and worry about how it looks during the process but only when its done. My favorite and most successful art piece was the magazine college . I really like to use random bright colors and weird patterns and I feel like I did good job making everything different but come together nicely. My biggest changes that I know haven't came out so nice is the observation drawings. I plan to practice it more so I can become a better artist. An other thing I have to work with is to do everything with an open mind and not care about how it looks so I don't get frustrated. The term has been great and I can't wait until the spring to have art class.

Chair With Coat.

To me it was harder. It wasn't a free flowing thing you had to draw that object;The chair. Also The fabric on the chair.

The skill was drawing from general to specific. Getting the shape of the coat first. Then going back and seeing the brightness, and also how to use the brightness to make the waves of the coat.

The picture that I look at was Dempsey and Firpo  by George Bellows
 In the picture he uses MOVEMENT.  Boxing is a very active sport and in this picture one of the boxers just finished punching the other and the one that got punched is falling out of the ring. Another thing he uses is PROPORTION using CONTRAST. Everything around the two boxers is dark ; the back round is black. Then the two boxers are much lighter making them be the first ones seen. EMPHASIZING them by PLACING   putting in the middle of the picture. The BALANCE is ASYMMETRY with the fans.
