Op Art 2
I think I liked this one more the the first one. It was really easy because we were told exactly what to do, and then could add any colors we wanted. Nothing was really hard about it, except coloring in the lines, which is pretty easy! If I could do it over, I think adding more circles definitely would have made it look a lot better. it would have added a lot more variety of colors, which would have made it look a lot cooler. I think that any person can be pretty good at this kind of art, its really easy, and turns out to look pretty cool when your done.



Op Art 1
I think Op Art is really cool, and for this project particularly I like that you gave us a circle to start as a base for our creation. It helps the designs stay perfectly in line. For me, after filling in the circle with a design it was hard for me to imagine what would look cool outside of the circle, but the inside of the circle was easy. If I could do it over I would definitely do something different on the outside.
Magazine Reflection
This was a really cool project, and very cool idea. If you do it right, this project has the potential to look really awesome. I thought it was pretty easy, because all you had to do was copy the pieces cut out, and it looked really cool with the different composition. The body parts was definitely the hardest part to draw, but it was still fun! In mine, I got to draw part of face from side view, and I've never actually tried doing that before, I thought it turned out good. If I had more time, I definitely would have cut out more of the picture and draw in more pieces!

I really enjoyed this project, painting is a lot of fun, because you cant really mess up! There's always a way to fix it. I was kinda of rushed, I would have liked to add more things to it, because its kinda simple. But i thought it was a cool idea, I was worried at first, but i think it turned okay! I got a lot of experience with painting, also, using my imagination to think of what to paint!
Pop Art Sculpture
This project was super fun! Definitely, I think its important for this project to think a lot about how your gonna make it, and what needs to happen for it to turn out successfull, before you just jump on on in and start! I thought mine turned out pretty well, but i would have liked it to be a little more circlular, and i would have liked to actually paint on the monster symbol, but the green color couldnt overpower the black! So I learned its important to think ahead!  I had a lot of experience with mixing colors, and had fun with my first time paper-meshaing!

This project should have been really easy, but I'm not a very creative person so it was hard for me to think of something cool to do, so it ended up pretty bad! It definitely wasn't my favorite. I could have made it look a lot better, but i didn't really take the time to think about it, coordinating the colors better, and picking a different design definitely would have made it look a lot better.

             This is the kind of art I love to draw, well, the drawing on the left side! I love shading, and just drawing in black and white, thats why I had so much fun drawing this piece, and it was really easy. But drawing his bone structure was very difficult for me, it was just weird to draw and hard to grasp. But after taking a very LONG time I think it turned out pretty good. I definitely got to practice my shading while drawing this, and if I had more time I definitely would have shaded the drawing on the left side.

This painting was a lot similar to the other letter abstraction, but a little more difficult, and it took a lot more time! I had to be more creative and think of a lot more letters I could add to it. But it was still fun, and once I was done I thought it looked really coo! There was some areas that I messed up on though, mainly just because I was tired of painting! Towards the end I just got annoyed with painting the same thing. I learned a lot of techniques to help with making the lines skinny, fat, and curvy. Overall I thought this painting was pretty fun, and turned out okay.

Letter Abstraction


I loved this project. I thought each piece was really simple to make, and once it all was put together it looked awesome. It was definitely one of my favorites, I love how these kind of projects look when its all done! If I could do it over again I would try to draw more fun and creative letters. I think painting can be really hard, but when it comes to just outlining letters, its pretty easy. As long as i took my time the letters usually came out pretty clean and precise, but if I didn't take my time the lines would come out sloppy. So overall just being patient and keeping a steady hand really helped me with this painting.
