Assignment #9: Spring Concert Program Design
In this assignment we each had to create a program design for the spring concert. I was feeling very creative and did not want mine to look like any of the other ones. I feel that I succeeded with this goal. My design is very different than all the others and it adds a sense of comedy to my art work. This assignment was pretty fun and we were free to do what we wanted.
Assignment #8: Bookmaking and Marbling
In this project we learned how to marble paper and make a book out of it. The two sheets of paper we marbled were made into the covers of our book. I personally enjoyed learning the different types of stitching. The basic method was extremely simple, but the tortoise shell was so much cooler looking. I really enjoyed the whole bookmaking process.
Project #1: Gyotaku
In my Gyotaku I had no definite color scheme. The colors i chose are the colors of the actual species of fish. I used a blend of cool and warm colors including orange, red, purple and green. These colors combined are very pleasing to the eye. When I first began the project i was skeptical of how it would turn out. As we worked through the steps of modifying the fish i began to see a miracle unfold before my eyes. When i got my wet mounted fish back i about had a heart attack because it was so beautiful. I really enjoyed this project and all the steps in completing it.
Assignment #7: Cross Hatching and Hatching
Assignment #5: Elements of Art
For my elements of art assignment I created a poem with my group members. It had a rhyme pattern of AB. This assignment really helped me understand the elements of art further.
Assignment #4: Modified Contour Drawing
Assignment #1: Zentangle
The Zentangle assignment gave me a chance to unwind and focus on the simpler things in the art classroom. It was completed using line as the only element of art and it just incorporated the use of graphite pencils. The picture on the left is my fully self guided zentangle and the one on the right had some instruction. I really enjoyed this assignment and it reinforced my love for art. I have mad many zentangles on my own at my house because this assignment influenced me so greatly.
