Project Two

Art Elective Project Reflection

Please answer the questions below. Do not delete the prompts!

1. Describe your project

For my project, I created abstract art by melting crayons with a heat gun onto cardstock.

2. What knowledge did you already have about the project before you started?
   I didn’t have much experience or knowledge about this project besides that I had a general idea what melting crayons would look like.
   
   
   

3. What new skill did you want to learn coming into the project?
   I wanted to create something that isn’t perfect, something that doesn’t have to be completed in a certain way or it won’t look right. I wanted to learn how to work without being such a perfectionist.
   
   
   

4. Did you accomplish this goal?
   I did accomplish this goal, although it was hard at times.
   
   
   

5. How do you know you accomplished the goal? If you didn’t accomplish the goal, why do you think that is?
   I know I accomplished this goal because there were a few occasions when things didn’t turn out how I planned and I wanted to give up. However, I kept going until I completed my project and I was happy with my results.
   
   
   

6. What other skill(s) did you learn along the way?
   I learned how to work a heat gun properly along the way.
   
   
   

7. What are you most proud of in this project?
   I am most proud of the creativity and individuality in my project. I am also proud that it isn’t precise and clean cut like my other projects usually are.
   
   
   

8. What would you do differently if you had to do the project over again?

If I had to do the project over again, I would plan out a color scheme for my crayons so that all the colors are complementary and flow together nicely.
