Describe:
My piece is made out of cookies. I broke up one kind of cookie to create a half circle to go around the other kind of cookie. I was trying to create a star out of my cookies by switchen directions of each cookie. Analyze: My color of the cookies are the same even though they are not the same cookie and I did that so that the texture of cookie stands out and not the different colors. My pattern is every other cookie is reversed in direction to create 5 points like a star at the ends. Interpret: What inspired me to use cookies is that since we are all staying home my family has been eating pretty good and sometimes its hard because of things like cookies. So I decided to use the cookies and make a star because its a reward and a treat when we eat them. My piece shows this by the color of the cookies is golden and the shapes all together create a star shape. Judgement: I found having enough cookies was successful and I really wasn't sure if my idea would work out but it did. I learned during this project that it is pretty difficult to cut cookies all the same size without them breaking.

Describe: My piece is 3 pictures of how I feel during this virus and staying home quarantined. I captured what I thought most teens right now are feeling. Having to stay 6 feet apart from one another, eating out of boredom, and doing school online. I started by having my neighbor wear a mask and gloves with a measuring tape to symbolize the distance between us. Then we got all the snacks out that we have all been eating non stop because that's one of the only things to do right now. Lastly, there is a picture of her doing online school on her couch to show that we are doing school anywhere and still working as hard as we can. Analyze: I decided to instead of going with black and white for my pictures I would switch it up. I picked these orangey brown filter to use because life doesn't feel the same or real right now. It feels like we are all in a movie and that's what this filter reminded me of. I had a pattern with the color and expression. I wanted it to all look like its happening in a day and how we feel doesn't change much on what we are doing all day. We are just always bored. Interpret: My idea behind my photos was to show how teens feel during all of this and what we do during all this time. I was inspired by what my friends say they are doing all day and the rules we have to follow during this. I wanted to show how we are all helping by staying home, away from others even though its hard. The pictures show this with the expression, colors, and what she is doing in the photo. Judge: Something that was successful was what I wanted the pictures to represent and show how we all feel right now. Something I learned was lighting and the direction it should be coming from to help everything else pop and show. Warm Up
Describe: My piece is a selfie of my best friend being funny and ridiculous with underwear on her head. Her facial expression is a half smile with her lips together and shes staring at herself with her eyes wild open. Her face has lot of different colors and textures in it with her freckles, highlight from the flash, and a little bit of a sun burn.
Analyze: Her picture has lots of different colors and tints of each color especially in her skin, she has freckles that are all different sizes and tints and she has some red in her cheeks like a sun burn. Also, the way she took the picture adds some highlight to he nose and forehead because of the flash. The picture also has a lot of balance with the proportions of her face and the colors together. I had to figure out how to make it where you couldn't see her ears because of the underwear but still able to see her eyebrows and not make it look to preposition and balanced. I also had to mix colors to evenly to get the right skin tone in the right places. Interpret: I pick to draw my best friend Emma because she has been my best friend for 15 years and she knows me better than anyone else. I wanted to draw something that was meaningful but not to serious because that is just not us. We are always making each other laugh and our bond is like none other and I really wanted to represent our friendship and personalities in a picture and this is the best one for that. Judge: I think I was pretty successful with her face features being the right proportion and showing her facial expression. I learned from this assignment that sizes and details in the face are very important when it comes to making it look more so realistic and actually like what you're drawing. In the Process:
In the process we had to start by picking what size I wanted to make my painting and the I painted the whole thing red with water. Once I got everything sketched out on it I stated with my sky and moved down the painting to the water. Then I add the the sun and reflection, the little bit of land in the middle, and the big rock in the front. Lastly I added the highlights on the sun, water, and rocks. Describe: My piece is a painting of my neighborhoods favorite spot to hang out. Our sunset spot at the lake. There is a pinky blue sky with the sunsetting over the water. There are a few rocks that would be perfect to sit on to enjoy watching the sunset. Analyze: Color- My colors in my piece were a struggle to blend and make it look like a natural. I had to make sure that while blending the colors on my painting to not accidentally create a color that didn't belong. Proportion- My proportions were a little off at first with the sky, sun, water, and the big rock. Towards the end I was able to fix the proportions of the sky and water with the land between. I was also able to fix the big rock by blending the water more down. Interpret: My idea behind this piece was that this is one of my favorite places to be and some of my favorite memories come from there. Whenever my neighborhood goes camping we always try and find a special place to watch the sunset together. At Jordan Lake we found and amazing campsite from exploring and it's my favorite part of the trips. I wanted to paint this place because it means so much to me and I want to show other people just how beautiful it is. I wanted to show just how the colors blend and how it looks reflecting off the water. Judge: I found success in my sky blending of colors and how the sun reflected off the water. I learned in this assignment how to really blend paint and that adding water definitely helps. I also learned what kind of texture and technique I should use to paint the water and rocks. I also learned that multiply colors go into each part of the painting to make it look more 3D. |
Drawing UnitThe warm up that was the most helpful for me was the upsidedown Picasso drawing. This warm up helped me only focus on some shapes at a time and keeping my preposition right. It help me not think too much about what part i was drawing was because I was only going shape by shape and because it was upsidedown.
Composition is how something is made up. Its the placement and arrangement of the visual ingredients. It means “putting together” and apply it to any art.
Value is the lightness or darkness of the color. White is the lightest value and black is the darkest. It defines the depth in the work of art. Pros for pencil drawings:
-Good for details because of the small tip -Easy to go back and forth with shades -Can be used at different angles for different textures Con for pencil drawings: -Harder to create shading Pro for charcoal:
-Can wipe away mistakes easily Con for charcoal: -Finger prints and gets snugged easily Pro for pen:
-Good for details and value Con for pen: -Can’t eraser Marianne Eriksen-Scott Hansen ArtThis art it done by Marianne Eriksen-Scott Hansen and she makes “paper couture”. She is located in Copenhagen, Asia. For years she has been making paper flower and her progress includes, cutting through 50 to 60 layers of paper at a time to create the flowers. Her work is inspiring to me because it’s 3D, colorful, and very different then most. The paper flowers look real and beautiful to look at. All the layers really make it stand out and detailed. Her work makes me want to work really hard to created something that I can be proud of and makes me happy.
