this project was totally awesome. im kind of a sneaker head so this was perfect for me. i drew my favorite pair of high top checkerboard vans. this to me gave it a great possible outcome for using different textures and values, as white and black contradict each other in the checker board and then to ge to play around with the suede txture on the toa and the plain canvas on the sides. we had to draw the front one first, obviously and then the back one half covered up or some how interacting with the other shoe. drawing the shoe was a really fun part. how we made it look so accurate and realistic with all the different dimensions and values, it was a really fun project

this project was fun, even though mine is pretty crumby. i loved working with three dimensional shaped and using value and texture to made it look 3d on paper. the various array of colors was also fun to work with. leaving an almost endless pallet of possibilities. i chose these arizona tea cans because theyre my favorite drink. we had to show light coming from an angle and a shadow following. it was really cool how we were able to make these look so realistic using just the pastels. we worked with thumbnails too. giving is a chance to chose which angle we would like to see our project from.

 

this clay project was fun. even for me, and im not that big of a cly working fan... too dirty. anyway we basically had to flatten a lump of clay out and cut it to the size of a stencil we made. i made mine tis rectangular spikey thing. i draped it over an old meatloaf pan. i made it mainly to serve chips or other small orderves, but sadly we had a mishap and it broke in my back pack before i could even get home. i learned that pottery is delicate, how to work a kiln, and the various stages that clay goes through while in the drying process. such as leather hard etc. and if there was only one ting i would change about the project would be the way i made it. it was very fragile at the center, as you can see it was the weak point. which is where it eventually broke at.

this was one of the funnest projects this year. i liked it because it was almost like two projects in one in the sence that we got to carve the rubber stamp and then use various inks to print on to papers. the carving was one of the greatest parts. ive done this stamp thing before actually so it was fun to go into it knowing what youre doing. it was awesome that we were able to do whatever animals we wanted so natrally i picked one of my favorites, the fox. then came the really fun part, posting your carved image onto an endless variety of papers. we even got to do multiple colors of inks like this one! so over all i think id have to pick this as one of my favorite projects of the year.

the process of this project was actually relitively simple. first we had to paint the furthest back object, which for me was that blue mountain. we had to make it look far away so thats why i made it the color of the sky.then we just painted every thing from furthest back to closest up front and tada, a painting. i chose this photo because i took it while on my favorite vacation when i went to alaska. a light source was a dificult part for me because this photo was taken near noon so the sun was directly above us, but i did show some lightened area on the mountain. the brush strokes were very important because you didnt want your sky to have the same texture as the mountain. so te sky was painted orizontally, while the land vertically. value was also very important. different shade of each color blended in to make it look more rustic and actually land like
