In the beginning when we did the painting project with acrylic paint I learned, grew and developed so much from it. The reason I know this is because all my life I was very much only into drawing and pencil drawings and I thought that was the only type of art I was good at and I dreaded painting because I personally thought I was afoul even though I never tried it. So after this project painting I realized I really enjoyed it and it sparked a new hobby, I was so inspired after watching the painting videos and listening to Mrs. Sudkamps painting stories it really moved me, and ever since that project I've been painting at home and taking lessons because now its become something I would really enjoy to do in the future. I learned all the different painting techniques and how to identify the different brushes and which ones I should use depending on what I want to paint. I also developed my skills more than anything because when I compare my first painting when I first started in class compared to the most recent one , there is a huge improvement realistic wise and mainly just skills. I also benifited from this project because I learned how to mix colors to get a specific color, and I learned the terms monochromatic and complimentary etc. Overall I learned so much and I think this class definitely inspired me to continue painting outside of class. (seond image) 3. Sketchbook: pick any warm-up from your sketchbook that you found beneficial, interesting or simply felt you handled well. Describe the activity and reason for selecting it above the others. Include photo. The warm-up that I found helpful and beneficial and very interesting, was the painting of the sphere. What we had to do in this activity was paint a sphere, and get detailed with it, like add shadows and light points. The reason I selected this warm-up was because I really benefited from it, because it helped me put all my skills together. And since i'm a hands on person , just learning the skills didn't make sense to me, so when we painted this simple shape it really opened my eyes to how much I could do knowing a few shadow and light teqniues. It was also fun to paint and made me feel like an artist instantly.

CRITIQUE an older piece of your work USING THE PROCESS FROM #1 You are going to evaluate your piece using art vocabulary and in-depth discussion of your piece, what it means, what you learned, etc. Make sure you defend all your statements. When I read this I should have a clear understanding of the evolution of the project and your use of problem solving and critical thinking skills were used to make the piece successful. Starting from the early development stages of brainstorming through sketching and final product. In simpler terms you will describe, analyze, interpret and judge your artwork. Use the art vocabulary on the blog page. (yes photo!) The first step is to describe what you see, what I see in this image is my artwork of flowers in a vase, I used the medium charcoal. The flowers are different sizes and there are shadows as well as light spots. Before I started this project my first thought was who I wanted to represent in this art piece. That's what gave me an idea of how to brainstorm and what I should do. So what I saw in my head I put in this piece. The second step is the analysis. Here I will look for the elements of art, rhythms and different shades and color and identify what I see more deeply. In my artwork I see a lot of shaded areas like the back of the vase and the inside, i also see how I put the highlights on the petals of the plants. I added a shadow behind the second one to give it a more three denominational look. The color of the image is gray and black and hints of white. The charcoal I used was only dark but i added the white hints by using an eraser. I also put dark lines around the neck of the vase to define the image and make the flowers stand out. The third step was to interpret why I choose this image and what it means. This image to me is obviously an image of flowers in a vase on a table, but there is a deeper meaning than just that. My mom was always obsessed with plants and our entire house is filled with different flowers and leaves and vines. I drew this with charcoal to represent her love for plants. So what I think this image communicates to viewers and myself is peace and re-laxness , because plants are relaxing to look at and they smell good to. The last step of the process is the judgement, this is where I judge the artwork and say how it was successful even if its not my favorite artwork. I think this piece was successful because it looks like flowers on a table in a vase and that was really the main goal. This piece I would say is definitely not one of my favorites but it does have a meaning and it looks decent even though I've never worked with charcoal before. But overall it was successful and i'm proud of it. Flat Wash- basic technique that will help you if you need to cover a large area on the paper.
