I Reflect When did you step back and analyze you work during this project? After every project I would step back and I would look at my work from a far. This is would allow me to gain a new perspective so I wasn't constantly looking up close at a piece. by doing this my piece didn't become distorted. Did you consider how ideas would work before you tried them? I always consider my work before I start. That way I can sketch or lightly draw something and build off that idea to develop a larger piece. By doing so, all of my pieces look well thought out and fully done by the end because I have thought through the process of executing them. | My favorite project was the final, I really enjoyed having a long amount of time to dedicate to a single piece. with this I was able to apply distinct details and shading with no rush and had a realistic amount of time to enjoy and really apply to the piece. Out of all the mini lessons the hardest was the forced perspective photo and the easiest was the charcoal. This was because the forced perspective needed to be done on a day when the lighting was poor and the weather made it difficult to photograph. The Charcoal drawing was the easiest because i really enjoyed doing it. I previously had never used charcoal and it was fun and exciting to learn how to use a new art medium. I Developed My Art Making Skills Did you learn new techniques or processes as part of the work for this project? I learned many new processes and techniques through the development of theses projects. Examples of this are how to use charcoal, how to photograph with perspective, and how to shade with pencil. Did you gain skill with familiar materials? By doing many of the projects and mini projects with pencil i gained a new understanding on how to use pencil in a more detailed way such as how to shade and add contour lines. I am very familiar with using a pencil so learning these new techniques made using this medium more exciting. |
