Question 1: I felt that drawing the facial features was challenging but they came out very well. the project made me think about how creative i needed to be. This project was very original in many way cause it was my own facial features. I used the videos from my teachers website to help me draw my nose, eyes and ear. They should me how to shade with this shading tool. When doing this facial features project you would have to know how to use texturize when doing the hair and the eye brows. also when doing this project i had to pay attention to the graphite in the pencil cause the higher the number the dark the color. during this whole thing i was really struggling with how to get the eyes the right shape. when i went back to watch the videos on how to draw them and i practiced i started to get the hang of it. overall i think i became a better artist and i have a better understanding on how to shade and to look at my pencil better. I would also say this is one of my best work i have done in all of art, cause i used all the tool my teacher game me.
Questions (6,7,3,2 6: my favorite medium to work with this year would have to be the shadinging with the graphite. how i was able to use this medium was to do the nose and you can get some really cool stuff out of shading if you know to do it right. Why i think this is a good technique to have cause it will help you if you are looking for some realism in your art work.
7: the one project where i felt like i was least successful was the still life project. what i would do to change this to make it better is to take more time on it and learn more about shading so that it make it look better. Why i say this is because at the time i didn't know how to shade well, that is where i think i needed more help.
3: all my work that is in my portfolio that i did during my whole drawing class this semester really reflects on my growth as a artist during this time. Cause when i walked into the class and sat down i did not think i was a good artist. Then when i started looking at others around me, they helped my and gave me pointers on what i needed or what i should work on.
2, my two pieces that i think how i have grown over the semester is the face features, and then my candy art i had to use my artistic vision and the creativity cause with out that i had to just wing it. during art it is not the best thing cause like with both of these art work i had to plan well and to use different elements. Cause they where such a hard project.
