Magazine Reflection

This project took me maybe two class periods. It was very easy and quick to do. What I'm really proud about this piece, would be the hand of the person dipping the "Scoop" chip into the dip. Hands are very hard to do and since this picture had a hand in it, it made me very uneasy and nervous! When I was done, however, it turned out very nicely! I was really excited! The thing I would change about this picture would be the salsa in the bowl. I didn't know how to make the effect of salsa, so I just shaded a bit more in that spot. It still looks really good for not taking very much time on it. I like doing projects like these and would do one again if I had to.

Water Color Project

This project was my next favorite after the Character Skeleton. This project also took me a very long time to do. Water colors are very difficult but fun to work with. It was a challenge but I like challenges. Something I would change about this piece would be the moon in the sky in the third lighthouse. It didn't turn out the way I wanted it to but I wasn't expecting perfection. The part I like most about this piece would be the middle lighthouse. It is very clean looking and I like how the cloud in the sky turned out. I also like the sky in the first lighthouse. It was really fun to do. Overall, this project was very enjoyable and turned out amazing!

Pop Art Sculpture

This project was very fun. Amanda Corder and I worked together on this piece and made a big Nike 3-D icon sculpture. I would have posted a picture but I did not have the option too (the picture was not on Drop Box), but I can explain it just as well to give you a visual. The sculpture was all black in color, and then Amanda and I added silver sparkles. It looked really sharp and nicely done. My favorite part of the project was the thinking of something to do. I know that may sound weird, but there were SO many possible things we could have chose to make a sculpture of and I like having many options. The hardest part of this project would have to be restarting the next day because the tape we were using kept falling off, therefore, the cardboard base of our sculpture kept falling apart. All in all, this project looked really cool and I had fun working on it.

Character Skeleton

This project was my all time favorite. However, it was very time consuming. I like doing projects where I have the picture in front of me and I have to free hand the same picture. It's difficult but the results always look so good! My favorite part about this piece would be everything. I think this project probably took a total of about maybe....2 weeks? I had to include many details in this drawing because even the simplest little detail could make it or break it. Shading made this whole piece come together. Woody's eyes look a little crazy and cartoonish before I added shading to create his cheekbones and demension under his eyes. After I added a bit of shading, he looked JUST like the real Woody.The skeleton was by far the hardest part. But the hardest part of the skeleton was the skull. This part of the drawing was very tricky and the jaw, before I drew it just right, seemed to be unattached and floating in mid air. In the end, I pulled through though and made it the best drawing I have done yet. I was very proud of myself after this project!

Text Collage

This project was very time consuming. It took me a very long time to finish and I think this is because of how hard it was to find the color words you were looking for. Blue was pretty common, however, orange and green text in magazines is not used as frequently. The thing I liked about this project is how the orange fish pops out. The thing I did not like was how the blue and green almost blend together.I should have known they would because they are next to eachother on the color wheel. But I suppose it's art and you learn from your mistakes and use past experiences to improve future projects. I think I did well and had fun doing this project.

Animation Cell: "The Little Sailor Boy"

This project was very fun to do. One of my favorites. It was difficult to do because I had to paint small things to add detail but aside from that it was pretty enjoyable and easy to accomplish. The thing I would change about this project would be how I lined it up. This sailor boy's foot is over lapping the barrel which isnt very realistic and it kind of looks like he is floating. It takes away from the quality of the picture. My favorite part of this animation is my little sailor boy's face. He's so cute and has alot of personality. Overall, I feel I did really well on this assignment.
