Mid-term Reflection

     I think that my engagement in class is pretty good. I enjoy art class and I look forward to it durning the day. I do my best and put as much effort as I can on my project because I like seeing a good result.
  In art so far I have done my pour painting ninja , A ninja flip book , The robot magazine collage , and last but not least The sculptor of a pirate.
  Out of school we do sketch books. In my sketch book so far I have done ; A magazine college with things I like. I did a drawing of the famous painting "The Scream" . Wrote my name out using shadowing. I cut circles into the page so it looks like a dice. Another thing I did was make a huge spiral , starting from the middle of the page and going out into the edge. A other thing I did which I do a lot when I'm bored on work sheets is write my name. Write my signature , my full name written in different ways, and a few more.  

   Every tuesday morning we " stop everything and draw " We always draw still life. From small like acorns and building block to big paper structures with twist and turns and a billion of folds. Something we work on was lighting and shading. How to draw the objects when the sun is hitting one side of it and really bring it to life, adding shadows. The hardest of the still life's were when Mrs. Robert's would add things and take it away. We started with one jar then adding things like string, wood, blocks , pans , and others. and at points she would take some of the things out. So we would have to work fast drawing from general to specific. To add things and to take things out when necessary .

    Lastly I want to say is that I'm enjoying art and I am having fun in class. Also thanks for letting us listen to music it helps :)

The Changing Still Life

One of the things I had to do was just draw . Not caring about how it would turn out. Just drawing what is there. Another thing I had to do was to try to put everything in the right place so when the next thing came in I would have space for it. Lastly erasing the things and when I did that adding n defining what is still there.

Found Images Collage Reflection

           

The concept of my project was to be colorful , random and funny. I wanted to use a bunch of different things  that coming together could form one thing . Take bright colors and put them in with random objects like toys and a mountain and make them one body part. Taking things you wouldn't see together , different patterns and make one big robot with it like my original image.

            The cool thing in my project was I could get what ever I wanted to. What I did was the more colorful the better. Things with cool designs and patterns . Anything that caught my eye I tried using. I tried to put all different colors in each body part.
I think the whole thing came out great , You can see all the different things but it looks good all together, and thats what i was trying to do :)

- Thats its good.
- Like the different type of things
- Thinks I should put some sort of paper to make it harder so it doesn't wobble/
- Likes the robot
- Think its ties with the original idea  

three forms drawing

We this drawing today I have learned a bit more about how to draw using brightness and darkness. Making the picture come alive depending on where it is light or dark. Seeing how the shades make the picture and how you can tell a lot about A picture when you do this all right

Extending our findings from The Pour Paintings

 In my pour painting there was a big black blob in the center of the paper. After thinking for a little I started seeing legs coming out and of its side like someone kicking, sort of like a ninja. Then after moving the paper a little the head started to you. When I finished moving it it was clear to me, there was a ninja in mid-air doing a flying kick. So with the ninja idea I thought about doing something about fighting, thats when I thought about doing a flip book. I could make him fighting and he could be moving and doing punching and kicks and you could really see it in action. 

Feedback: Some feedback that I received was that it was good. But I should make the movements clearly and then with the words make it bigger and appear more then once so they can see what they say.

Pour Paintings

For me it was really cool because I didn't know what shape there were going to form and it could really turn out into anything. Also i was a bit nervous I wouldn't get any images and I would be stuck.

        My picture was a big, black, blob, kind of centered with 3 lines going to the right and I thought it could be a body of some sort. Then I saw like a head shape with hair and I deiced to make it a ninja. But I couldn't just keep it at that . so I made him like jumping over a fire almost falling in.
