3D Fedora

3D Fedora

Grid       colored pencils       anamorphosis       photoshop        transform         scale

Perspective      shadows             value                    

               

1. Describe the process you went through to change your object into the correct perspective to create the drawing. This is when you were in the lab.

It took me a while to actually think of something to get to draw. I could not think of anything, but I was where a fedora that day so I chose that. Then I found one with good value and photoshopped it.

2. How did distorting and stretching the object allow for you to create a drawing that would look different to the viewer?

It needed to be on a grid and be scaled good. That is what led to it being a good figure for anamorphosis. I used color pencils to give it perspective and good shadows to make it look realistic. When I finished I kept moving my sketch book to put it at the right angle. When I did it transformed from 2D to 3D. It looked great, I was actually shocked at the result.

3. What were the most important concepts in the project to make it successful? 

Probably the the photoshop, colored pencils, and the grid. Without the photoshop the fedora would not have been stretched out. The grid helped me know exactly where to put the pieces of the hat. The colored pencils did the finishing touches to make it look like the real thing. Also something that might have helped was me getting excited about it, I get excited about all projects.I prefer drawing than most other art and it used a little math and I like math.

Jamanji...the Painting

 

         In my opinion on this painting is that it is my best one yet, painting that is. I was never a good painter. Though it is a little to dark in some places than others. It is still a pretty good painting and I like how well hi painted the animals and the cards. I dislike the bottom of the box because it is more darker to the left than the right. This project mostly worked out on mixing the colors together. If I had the chance to do this project over again, I would change how dark I made the box and some of the black spots. The most difficult parts about this project was not going over the lines and not putting too much paint on the painting. I learned that I can be a good paper.

The Stencil of the Beautiful Statue of Liberty

The Stencil of the Beautiful Statue of Liberty

 

 

 

 

Stencil                 Spray Paint       Xacto Knife        Positive/Negative Space

Composition    Collage                Photoshop        Threshold              Contrast

1. Explain how you changed your photo in the lab to create a stencil.

The contrast between the photo in the lab and the stencil is the size of Ms. Liberty. When I photoshopped the photo to the left, the Statue was too small. So I cut out most of the things to leace only the Statue of Liburty.

 

2. When creating the collage background explain your choices of colors, materials (magazine paper, books pages, etc), and placement. How does it relate to your topic? If no relation discuss general idea.

When I first started the collage, I thought we had to do a college of what we were doing, so it took me a while to find just things to do with the USA. Then I realized you did not have to, so then I used random stuff from magazine paper and newspapers.

3. Discuss the way positive and negative space was used to create your stencil.

In order for me to cut the pasitive/negative space, I had to cut with an xacto knife and a threshold so I won't cut the table.

4. When using the xacto knife, explain the safety procedures, how to use the knife and any challenges you had to overcome while cutting.

A good starter is to not cut yourself. Also put a threshold under the paper. Another good thing may be to cut in on the lines that you already drawn.

5. How was your experience with the spray paint? Discuss how color choice is important, placement of stencil, and any other concepts you noticed while creating this.
I really enjoyed using the spray paint. It took me a while to get what I wanted, until I thought of the American flag. It was the final composition to make the stencil perfect. There was no red, so I had to use pink. I don't think you would have noticed  unless I told you. The black for the Statue really brought the collage to life.

Questions about Wild Meets Loki

1.     Describe the overall composition of your artwork (balance, unity, rhythm and movement).

  I say I did a pretty good job cutting the rubber off. I could have had a little more cutting by where the feet are.

 

2.     How did you add texture and contrast to your print? Is this important? Why?

I cutted out the trees and the feathers out hoping to get a good image, but I did not cut the feet out to well. It is important because you need to see how realistic the picture is.

3.     Explain how you used positive and negative space to show your image.

The trees and the feathers look very visible and well shown. Unfortunatly I did not cut out enough in certain spots so the paint is too close together.

4.     Describe the craftsmanship of your print. (How good the project is technically crafted)

The picture has in some spaces to much cuttting and others to little. I give it a 4/5. 

5.     Were you able to achieve depth by showing a foreground, middle ground and back- ground? Explain.

I was able to show the foreground and the background, but not the middle. I did not cut in enough places to show all of the details.

6. Explain your experience with Printmaking. What were the obstacles and advantages?

It was so much fun to cut out of the rubber. Sometimes I got a little carried away and cut too much. Other times I cut to little. It is not my best art piece.

Questions on Hold Your Talent

1. Explain your experience working on a team and executing your ideas for the mural.

It was great to see everyone working on an idea that I had. It was also great to hear how other people added to it to make in an awesome idea. It was fun trading jobs, adding or deleting ideas, and just hanging out and having a good time.

2. Explain the importance of collaboration when working on a team.

This is an important project to need more than two or three people. You need a person to either do a specific job and you need help from some one else. The drawing of the chalk everyone could do, but the coloring is hard and a lot of work for one person. Plus it is also fun to have other people around to keep you compuny and talk to.

3.  How successful was this project? Explain how and why.

I think this project was very successful, if only we had a black chalk it would have been better. My group was great on making sure we made the moon, Earth, and sun as realistic as possible. The moon looks so life like, Neil Armstrong would be proud. The sun looks like it is actually on fire. Plus if it rained, out drawing was not effected.

4. Explain how you feel about creating artwork that others can interact with. Ex. Invoving the whole school? 
I would feel fantastic and would be lots of fun. I love working with other people because I like hearing other people's ideas and working together as a team. My favorite part about working in groups is that you can be with friends or make new friends, I made two on this project.
