Final Project
For our final project we got to choose what we wanted to do. I am doing a patique and two hands that are holding pinkies. So far I have really liked this project.
Project 5: Clay Animal
For this project we had to pick 3 or more animals and make one animal out of them. I chose a penguin body with penguin feet, a dolphin tale, and elephant ears and elephant trunk.
Project 4: Close up drawing
This project we had to choose an up close picture to draw. I chose an elephant because I love them. This project hasn't been too bad as I am not the best at shading. It is coming along though. As you can tell in the last picture I got the background darker like I said I needed to. I started the cracks on the forhead and I am started to shade in some of the wrinkles.
Project 3: Value Practice Shapes
This project we had to draw what we saw again, but this time we got different pencils and we were in a different spot. I had troubles with this as I am not very good at shading. It also was a little difficult because the second day we could not get it exactly where it was the first day that we did it.
Project 2: Value and Shading
For this project there was 5 shapes on a table with lights shinning on them, so you could see the shadows. We were supposed to draw what we saw. I had troubles with this project. I am not very good at shading and it did make me frustrated. I think that once I have more practice I can get the hang of it and it will look better.
Project 1: Sketch Book
This is our first project we created a sketch book. I really liked this project because it didn't guidelines on what it had to look like it could be what we wanted. I did a blue inside cover that i finger painted. I picked out some left over fabric that I made pajama pants with and used it for my outside cover. Then we glued the paper and the fabric onto the boards. Next we had to put the signatures in. As we did this we had to put string through the holes we made. I decided to put the tails on the outside of the book. I tried to do it on the inside but I decides I liked it on the outside better. Once I got that done I decided to put corner coverings so it looks more like a book. I also put on the front page "Life's a Doodle".
