Clay

     I really liked doing our clay projects because it was a different experience for me. When I was younger, I really waned to be a person that could spin clay and what not. For Christmas one year my parents got me a clay set because they knew I wanted to do it so much. Since I was a kid, my interests always changed so I forgot about my clay set and eventually my parents threw it away. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with my clay when I first got it. I was just hoping that it wouldn't turn out horribly. I think my pot turned out better than I thought it would. I really hope that when it gets glazed, the blue with be the color I wanted it to be. When I found out we got to make a kiln creature, I knew what I wanted to make. I have liked turtles for a long time, and I still do. I used to collect a bunch of turtles. When I finished making my first turtle, I thought it would be better looking if I added a baby turtle on top. I'm really excited about seeing how my clay things turned out. 

Doodle

     I really like doing assignments like these because I like finding different designs to incorporate to my drawings. I only really like the after product of assignments like these. I don't think it looks cool when you first start. I wish I had so much more time because since we were glazing our clay projects, I had less time to work on this. I was more worried about my clay project than my doodle assignment. I am glad i spent more time on my clay though because I can re-draw something like this over if I wanted to, but I don't have clay sitting around to just make things with. I think it was hard to keep coming up with deigns. 

Color Wheel

    I thought the color wheel would have been a lot more fun. I was so excited to paint, but when we started painting I was scared to mess up. Even knowing that I could restart, I didn't want to mess up. At first, my color wheel looked fine because I was taking my time. By the time I had my primary colors painted, I kind of rushed through everything else. Before I started painting, I tired to erase my lines but they were too dark. I thought that when i painted over them you wouldn't be able to see them. But I wish I would have drawn the lines a lot lighter than i did. I no realize painting isn't easy, at all. 

                                                      Two Point City

I liked drawing my city, but I wish we could have drawn it on a bigger piece of paper. I didn't like shading it, but in the end I think it turned out good. If I would have colored it, I don't think it would have turned out very well. I think half of my drawing turned out well, because one half had better shading. If I were to do this project over, I would take more time on shading and less on making my buildings look good. Shading was the hardest part of this project, and I learned that shading takes a lot of time.

Two Point Name Drawing

 

           I didn't like drawing my name in two point perspective. I also didn't like making all my letters uppercase. The hardest part of this project was drawing the letters that were closer to the vanishing points. I liked drawing my name in one point better than two. If I could do this project different, I would color it differently. Before I started coloring, I had an idea of what I wanted it to look like when I was dont with it, but in the end it didn't turn out how I wanted it too. I wish I would have colored it lighter, because I colored it too dark. I learned that I don't like drawing my name in two point perspective, because my letters look funky.

One Point Hallway 

 



           I did't like this project, because I'm not very creative. It look me a long time to think of what I was going to do with my walls and my floor. I think I did pretty good on drawing the turtles. It was hard coloring them though becasue of all the little details. If you look at my drawing, you probably couldn't see all the little details on the turtles. Everything else in this project didn't have that much detail, becasue it was just lines pretty much. If I did this project over, I would probably draw more turtles in my floor, other than that I wouldn't change it. I learned that turtles aren't easy to draw.

Still Life Drawing

 

      I thought the still life was easy but hard at the same time. Some shapes were easy to shade, but others were difficult. If I could do this project over again I would try to shade my lighter values before my darker values. I thought the shading and the foreshortening was the hardest. I learned I need to shade my lighter values first, and also fill all the little white spots I missed while shading.
