I slaved over this beaut for a week.

yeah.

I found this project confusing and difficult to complete. Although the finishing product was a beaut, the process was painful and I hope we never do anything like it again. The project turned out okay I will admit, Although I had trouble keeping it in perspective. I feel that I did a decent job on the game cards but the game board looks sickly. If you wanted to torture me and we were to do this project over again, I would definitely start by sketching the perspective lines before anything else. I would also go a step further and add shading and color the background. Today I learned that not every art project suits everyone's needs, even though it is good to explore all your mountains on your green earth.

This obviously goes deeper than the art itself.

THIS ISN'T MINE BUT MINE WAS FORGOTTEN SO I AM FORCED TO WRITE ABOUT SOMEONE ELSES:

In this colored pencils anamorphosis, a grid was used to measure the dimensions on photoshop. We stretched it upward and changed the perspective to make the top half heavier. By transforming and stretching the object, when you look at it from a certain angle, it looks realistic. To make it look even more realistic, you shadow the object.

The most important concept in this this project was to remember the scale. As soon as you screw up the scale, the rest of your drawing looks funky forever. That, and never forget the value of value! Colors are just as important visually as the scale is.

In Halloween spirit..

I dove into this project without a plan of action beforehand, and i'm very satisfied with how it turned out. I began this project by tracing Jack Skellington and then cutting him out with a Xacto knife. From there, I spray painted him over a background. I used purple and white to complete my stencil. I beleive I added the correct amount of depth to this project.
I used newspapers and pages from art history textbooks to create my stencil. I chose the pictures in the book that relatived to the topic of halloween, which was hard to pull off. I made a collage of the pictures that I worked hard to find.
I changed the threshold by adding different colors into my stencil, otherwise the proportions would be off. I think this stencil has a beautiful and well-balanced contrast. I beleive that I This stencil is creative and puts you in the mood for the holiday.

Overall, My artwork reflects my attitude. I beleive my artwork had perfect balance of colors and a beautiful rhythm. I added texture into the print by leaving lines while creating the leaves surrounding the iguana. This was important because it created a 'sketchy' look in the background. I used more negative than positive space to complete this project. Some obstacles include the fact that I dug too deep into the rubber that we carved on. An advantage included the fact that the leaves were very easy to complete a vast number of them.
I had a wonderful time doing this project and hope to do something like his very soon in the future.
