Zebra Painting

This prject was just a Zebra. I hadn't done anything that was very realistic looking so I thought it would be cool to do a real animal. For the background I scewed up a couple times so i wasn't too happy with how it ended up. But i really like the actual zebra part. I tried some new things that i never had, like blending the black and white paint together on the nose and making grays to add in the eyes. I was happy with how it turned out if only the background could have a little less messy and nicer.

Tree

  

I did this project beacuse I had a background and I wasn't sure what to do with it so I Decided a tree woud look cool. I added the white swirls behind it because it looked a little empty and i wasn't sure what else to add. So overall, this entire project i just sort of did as i went along, but i do like how it turned out. (I'm not sure how to flip it back over so sorry it's upside down)

Melted Crayon - Flower

I really liked doing this. It was somthing I never tried before and thought it was cool learning how todo something new! I thought the project went pretty well, except I didn't get the flowers as melted as I had wanted to. Nothing really went wrong with this project, the melting was pretty easy. If i did the project over again, then I would have melted the flowers right on the board rather than metling them and then trying to move them. The hardest part about this project was getting the crayons to melt where I wanted them to. I had to tilt the board a lot and it was hard to get one area to melt at a time so it wouldn't ruin another area. By the end, I learned that this is a fun project to do and that you could do so many different things with it!

Butterfly

At first this project was fun, however towards the end i was running out of colors so it got kind of hard to mix and use colors that i had not used. Altough i had problems with this, I really liked the way it turned out and think i did a pretty good job! Besides the colors everything went pretty much as planed. I probably wouldn't ever do this again because there were so many colors or else if I did do it again, I would make the areas where one color would go bigger, so not as many colors would be needed. Overall, i learned that if you really try there are a lot of different colors that can be made!

Stop-Motion Animation!

I was really excited for this project at first, but as it went on it just got very frusterating because it took a very long time and we kept running into problems! We had to upload our pictures over 3 times and it still barley worked! Although, we had so many issues, it would have been a really cool project if we hadn't and i think i would have really enjoyed working on and completing a project like this! (NO VIDEO)

Prints

This project was fun! I liked that we got to carve out the linolium tiles. I have never done that before and probably won't ever again, So that was really cool! I also think it's cool that even though our school budget is low, we still get a taste of what real printing is like!

Ceiling Tile

For our ceiling tile jessica and I decided to do it in the style of Wassily Kandinsky. Kandinsky uses lots of shapes and colors that all blend together to create something that is abtract.  This is something that we were both interested in becasue his paintings are all very interesting to look at. We both like that you have to look at the painting for a minute to relize what it really is. This is why we chose to do Wassily Kandinsky. (NO PICTURE)
