For my portrait project I used oil pastels to make the face in blue, I used string for the hair and I cut paper to make the shirt. To make this portrait I started with the face and just drew the shape and outline of the face. Next I started with the lightest shade of oil pastel and eventually i built up the shading and color. Then I moved on to the hair and I pulled the yarn apart into thinner strands and glued them onto the head with the gel medium. The last thing I did was cut out some strips of paper and glued them down with gel medium. This picture is of me as a baby and I chose this picture because I thought it was really cute and not many people in my class chose to do themselves they mostly did someone else.

Required Questions 1. The art criticism process is a 4 step process you can use to observe and critique art pieces. The first step is to describe the piece and just observe and tell what you see as you look at the piece. The second step is to analyze the piece and use the art elements and principals to reflect on the art and critique. The third step is to interpret the art and think about what the art is trying to say, what caused the artist to say it, what is the historical meaning that surrounds the art and why was the work of art created in that specific style. The last step is when you decide how successful the work of art was in your eyes. 2. 3. Describe- I see a sunset watercolor painting that is a blend of many warm colors with the contrasting color of purple to make it pop. Then I see the wind mill drawn in sharpie pen to make it stand out. Analyze- In this piece the colors are blended well but I think they could have added more oranges and yellows to lighten up the lower half of the painting. Also the sun looks good and blended but the red could have transitioned to the purple a little better. The windmill is very clear and crisp and well drawn and it brings the whole piece together. Interpret- I think this painting was supposed to represent summer and relaxation because of the warm colors that make you feel relaxed and calm. I think the artist was trying to say to relax and the sunset also represents the end of the day and completion of work. Success- In my eyes this piece was pretty successful because the composition is good and the color scheme is well done. The one thing I would change is to take a little more time to make the windmill lines more straight and just make sure that the colors are more even. 3 Questions that I picked 1. What is Art? To me art is whatever you want it to be. Art is and expression of your emotions, feelings and personality. It's you putting your thoughts or ideas into a physical form for others to reflect on. Art is a way for you to share your ideas with others and for people to communicate. Art is universal and anyone can feel a specific way about any art. Art is something anyone can look at have feelings about. Art is inspiring work that can come in any form. 7. What is the point of this class? What did you get out of it? For me this class was about learning new art techniques and trying something new. This class was to be able to move onto other art classes and be able to continue my art journey. This class was to learn new forms of art and learn about artists and lots of other ways to express yourself. I got a lot of new ideas and thoughts about art and I also learned a lot about what art I like to do and what I struggle with. 9. Illustration Fridays have been completed almost every week this semester, do you feel this assignment helped you brainstorm for main project or helped you skill levels in any way? Why, or why not? I think illustration Fridays helped me expand my skills and practice some of the new techniques I had learned. I think they were very helpful because they helped you be more creative and try to think of something to draw based on a word given. I would also try to draw something different than everyone else so no one would have the same drawing as anyone else. I also think it helped me to not procrastinate even thought I missed one or two drawings. It makes you create something every week so you can take your mind off he project you are working on and do something different. For this project I chose to make a paper sculpture because I thought it would look cool and I didn't do many projects with paper in this class so I wanted to try something new. To start this project I had to pick the color scheme of paper that I wanted. I went for the cool colors and a contrast color to change it up a little. Then I also chose what I was going to make the base of my project out of and I got come poster board and painted it black. Next I looked up some techniques on how to make small paper sculptures and shapes. Then I folded the paper and glued them onto the board with a hot glue gun. I just kept folding and adding more and more until the base was filled. I think that the color scheme and the variety of shapes was successful in my piece and if I was going to do this project again I would try to make the hot glue not show as much in my piece and I would plan out where I would put what instead of just figuring it out as I go along.
