The Great Doodle Assignment

This drawing was really fun and I was able to use my creativity while drawing this. I feel very successful about this piece, I think it's one of my best pieces I've drawn all year. In the beginning of art I wouldn't have been able to do anything close to this. I really like how its all black and white it looks much better than it would've in color. The hardest thing about this project was thinking of so many different designs to fill up the whole paper, but once I got on a roll it started to get easier for me. I learned that when you shade with a sharpie you can't just color with the marker you have to make x's and shade it that way.

One Point Perspective Name Drawing

This drawing was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed doing it. I feel pretty successful about this project. I had a hard time doing some of the letters, but with a little bit of help I was able to get the hang of it and understand it more than before. If I were to do this project over again, I would make my name bigger so it would fill up the whole page instead of being a medium size. I learned that all letters are different from eachother and have different lines and curves and some are more difficult than others.

One Point Perspective Hallway Drawing

This drawing was pretty simple and fun because I got to choose a hallway that I could design and it was all my ideas. This piece was pretty successful I think, I really took my time and used my creative side more than usual. The most difficult part about completing this piece was getting all the details in as the drawing was looking further away and smaller. From this piece I learned that every line that is not parallel must go back to the vanishing point or else it will not look right.

Two Point Perspective Building Drawing

When I first had to pick out a building to draw, I thought this would be the hardest project of the whole year, but once I started going and making all the lines go back to vanishing point it was pretty easy. I feel pretty good about this piece actually. I took my time and carefully shaded all the windows and put some brick patches around the building to make people get the impression that its a brick building. The thing that didn't work about this project is having the vanishing point on the ends of the paper, instead I taped two extra pieces of paper to put the vanishing point on and it worked easier that way. I learned from this project that sometimes the vanishing point has to be further away in order to make a bigger picture.

Color Wheel

The color wheel project was very different compared to the other projects I did. It was the first project we used paint with and it was pretty interesting. I didn't feel too successful with this project because some of my colors didn't turn out how they were "supposed to". But i followed directions and tried my best and thats all that counts. If I were to redo this project, i would probably take more time on the green part because I think i rushed it a little more than the other colors and it turned out the worst. I learned that there are a lot of shades of different colors and to get lighter you add white but not too much white. This was an overall really cool experience and I can't wait to use more paint,
