Reflecting on the 4 Hour Project.

The more you write, the more I know about what you think, the better I can assess your learning so...write a lot. Be descriptive.

The way i went about the project was i remembered the poor painting project we did and decided to do that again, after i decided to do the poor painting and then i didn't know what to draw on top of it so i decided to draw random items. So i just thought of fun crazy things that would go well with the poor paintings. Then after i drew them in my sketch book i picked out what i liked and then drew it on top of the painting after it dried.

The Book Project...progress and planning.

What's the story you're trying to tell?

• The story i am trying to tell is that of a women who's brother is an alcoholic, it is one were the sister is a big time lawyer and her brother is always calling on her to help him out but yet he keeps making the same mistakes over and over. Final the sister has had enough because she is constantly helping out her brother she hasn't really been able to buy and achieve all her goals.
  

what challenges have you faced so far?

• The challenges that i have faced are more with the verbal talking that i wanted to have.
  

What's going well?

• so far the i am doing well trying to put the pieces and people together the way i planned, i also am making sure that the backgrounds and the people relate or in some way relate to the topic.

What isn't?

• more the placement and the organization is a little challenging, also trying to keep to the topic, story.
  

Shades of gray.

• The goals for today's drawings were to draw form observation and start by erase some of the black. and then make the objects on the table and then make, use five different shads of gray in the picture.

• I achieved these goals very well because i completed the drawing and had 5 different shads of gray very well.
  

• The challenges that i faced while doing this assaignment in class was using the different shades of gray with the objects becuase alot of the objects were white or a light color. there for i had a little trouble. but i just did what i could and i think it came out really good.

Reflecting at mid-term.

Through out the first term I think i made great progress because i enjoy making and creating art I also started the term really excited because were weren't getting any homework but once we got the first homework assignment I thought the class was corny but after we were getting homework i started to see how it was not hard and was short. I also made progress because in the penguin project I didn't really like what some of my classmates drew on the paper. But i got over the fact of what they did, i looked at the final project and it wasn't what i really had in mind. I also made progress bye working with Sophia on both the robot BOB and the race car track. We worked good together and made two really cool sculptures.

Reflecting on Found Object Sculptures.

BOB was inspired from Sophia's mettle heater, which we had no clue what to use it for. Then we started talking and looked at the materials we both had and decided to create bob the robot. We used many different shapes and patterns and colors to create bob and as you can see it came great.
