This term helped me grow as an artist because we worked on several different projects that were designed to help us learn about things like contours, value, positive and negative space, and artistic behaviors. If nothing else, it gave me lots of practice drawing hands. I found that I really enjoyed focusing on value, so in the future that is something that I would like to work on.
This paper-mache, day of the dead mask was created with paper towels, paste, and acrylic paint. I took a risk by using extra paper towels to create a pointier chin, and I also made the eye sockets a lot larger and more dramatic.
This project really helped me develop art making skills because it required me to draw two hands interacting, which is difficult if you're not used to it. I collaborated because I would ask the people around me for advice. Also, I created original art.
I created an original piece of artwork because I based this off of my own hand. This also helped me develop my art making skills because it helped me practice drawing hands. Right now I am reflecting on this which is also an artistic behavior.
I created an original piece because I didn't really take ideas from anyone else. I tried to make a more geometric pattern on the hand, so that was also taking a risk because it was something no one else did. Right now, I'm reflecting on my work which is also an artistic behavior.
The artistic behavior I used was taking a risk because I didn't follow the grid lines and instead let the watercolors drip down the paper. It made me think of slime, so I also did a slime-inspired design on the letter J, which I chose because it's the first letter of my name.
