Final Project
For my final project I did 1 point perspective with water color and pen. I thought I did a really good job at making this project look dimensional, fuzzy, and realistic. I wish I would have added fish scale siding, however; I didn't have enough time. Overall I really liked this project but I wish I would have had more time to do a two point perspective house or even my own house.
Perspective Project
I chose two point perspective for my project because I thought 1 point was too easy and 3 point was too challenging. I also really like this picture of a house so I decided to draw it. I changed up some of the porch from the picture but other than that the house is almost the same. I thought I did really good at making it look 2 dimensional and real. I wish that I could have added color but I was running out of time so I use pen ink. I thought I did good with showing value with the ink and tried my best not to mess it up.
Abstract
I think that this was a weird project. I don't have a very big imagination I guess. I thought I did good on gradation and filling the whole page. There were a lot of weird things that I just tried to make balance with and I think I did good with that.
Alebrijes
This is my bird with a dinosaur tail. I thought I did really good since this was one of my first experiences with clay. I thought that I could have done better on the handle (dinosaur tail). It is really thin and I am scared to pick it up without it breaking. Speaking of breaking I thought I did a good job at covering the cracks after it blew up in the kiln. I am almost finished I need to paint and sand down the cracks I covered with the grout...
Self Portrait... Better
I feel really good about my nose in drawing my self portrait. I think it looks very realistic. I also Think my hair is very realistic. My drawing does somewhat look like me in my oppinion. I think that the shape of my head could have been fixed. I could have also concentrated more on centering my eyes. My symbols are the basketball on my shirt, the home plate, and the golf club. I used those symbols because those are all my favorite sports.
Self Portrait
These two pictures are my practice drawings before my self portrait. I am really bad at dimensions which is something I will practice on. The one on the left is my teacher drawing. The one on the right is the do it on my own drawing. I thought I did good at drawing the lips. I need to work on drawing hair. It is really hard for me to draw curly hair like I have.
This is my final project. It was a really fun project becuase I really liked making 3D demensions. Busch Stadium is what I drew. It means a lot to me because my family and I travel there almost every summer to watch a St. Louis Cardinals game. I had a lot of trouble blending in the sky and the road. It took for every and I was running out of time. I think I was a little in over my head when I said I was going to do colored pencils on it. I think it would have been a much better idea if I painted it or did water color.
These are my intaglios. These were really messy to make and they took a lot longer. My favorite was the greenish blue one that was my 10th one made. My least favorite was the one with blue and orange in it. It was my 7th one made. The orange one was my 6th one made. The one that looks like it has red and a little bit of peach was my 8th one made. The 9th one I made is the one that is just pink.
These photos underneath are my reliefs my favorite one is the pink one it was the 4th one made. I thought that one printed out the best leaving almost a glow around the bird. The one that I liked the least was the dark red one. The color of the red didn't make good sharp edges like the other ones. The grey relief was my 5th one made it was my second favorite. The red one was my 1st one made. Then the yellow one with less coloring was my 2nd one made. Then the yellow one with a lot of color was my 3rd one made. I did two yellow because I didn't think I put enough paint on the first one.
These two pictures on the top left are my plates. The other two pictures are my prints for my reliefs. I really liked how how the string on my plate looked better then the plate that was cut into.
I really liked this project and I really think that I made this picture come alive a little more by adding color. I don't like how there is a lot of grey in the middle. I tried to fix it the best I could but now I think that it helps show what way the hair is moving.
Book Binding Project
I liked this assignment and I thought I did really good on it even though I was in a rush to get it done. I thought I did good on trying to keep the pages in tight. I thought I could have done a little better on making my end page more creative.

Value Project
I really like shading so this assignment was really fun for me. I thought I did good on the shading and making the shapes come alive on paper. I could taken a little more time on getting the shadows at the bottom of the table.
