1. Describe your project

For my Quarter 2 Art Project I created a Minesion...a mansion created in Minecraft.

2. What knowledge did you already have about the project before you started?

I have created mansions before in MInecraft but never to the scale that I did in this case.

3. What new skill did you want to learn coming into the project?

Creating a new height at which I can build.

4. Did you accomplish this goal?

Yes because as Syndrome says “...Its bigger, Its better…”

5. How do you know you accomplished the goal? If you didn’t accomplish the goal, why do you think that is?

I know because 1 block is equal to 1 meter irl. The buildings I have made previously have been about 8 by 7 blocks and 4 blocks tall, rather than what I have done with this project where the building is 13 by 12 blocks and 15 blocks tall.

6. What other skill(s) did you learn along the way?

Scaling practice.

7. What are you most proud of in this project?

I am most proud of the amount of detail I put into it.

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

Worked even more on it.

1. Describe your project

My project consisted of  canvas stitching for a model of my child.

2. What knowledge did you already have about the project before you started?

I had done this project before when I was younger. I know that you have to stitch on an angle and you’re going to have to pull out plenty of yarn in order to accomplish pieces.

3. What new skill did you want to learn coming into the project?

I learned that you can not be rough while pulling your yarn out. A lot of times I had knots with my yarn and this was because I was trying to make sure I had this project complete, so often times I was rushing and trying to move quickly.

4. Did you accomplish this goal?

Yes, I accomplished this goal. I have a final and completed pretty project. I added her name as well.

5. How do you know you accomplished the goal? If you didn't accomplish the goal, why do you think that is?
   I keep getting compliments on my projects, so I know I did something well. I myself, am proud with my work. I am happy and like what I have created.
   
   

6. What other skill(s) did you learn along the way?
   I learned how to used the canvas as graph paper, because I wanted my bear to be symmetric on both sides. So, before I actually even started I had to label and use actually markings.
   
   
   

7. What are you most proud of in this project?
   I am most proud of how the actually bear came out. I did the bear by freehand and it still came out well. I didn't expect it to which made the project come over even better.
   
   
   

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

As an artist, I create art that speaks to me and others about the specific art that i’m working on. I don’t think i’m a very good artist but I try to get deep into my drawings and paintings so they can be as detailed as possible. My goals as an artist is try to make paintings or drawings that tells a story behind them. I love painting and drawing because it’s also a way that I can express myself on paper.

Part of my process before I begin my drawing was to research as much information about doodle art. I looked at different themes that artist have done so I can get and idea of what I wanted to do for doodle art. I came across an idea which was nature and peace. I drew the word peace in bubble letters and drew a peace symbol. For this project I used Crayola markers.

In conclusion, I enjoyed working on surrealism it was challenging.

1. Describe your project
   I made a girl and colored it in with water. She is okay I guess I used light colors for the colors, and gave her an eye-patch because I don’t like drawing the other eye
   
   

2. What knowledge did you already have about the project before you started?
   Sketching and Lining my art. I knew basic color theory.
   
   
   

3. What new skill did you want to learn coming into the project?
   Being able to execute water color skills, just get more experiences.
   
   
   

4. Did you accomplish this goal?
   Yes I know more then I did before, I would like to redo it though, one day if I had the chance.
   
   
   

5. How do you know you accomplished the goal? If you didn’t accomplish the goal, why do you think that is?
   It doesn’t look like trash, it looks okay. I think that because just look at it, it is so cute!
   
   
   

6. What other skill(s) did you learn along the way?
   Color theory

Painting

Lining again

7. What are you most proud of in this project?

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

Artist Statement

As an artist, I create art to demonstrate the meaning of self expression and freedom. I hope to achieve the gift of attracting someone to explore that art world, who doesn’t like art. My goal when creating art is to do something out of usual or express creativity. I started off thinking art was just for people who loved to draw, but art is for anyone who loves to create the unexpected like me!

Part of my process before I begin any of my art is to think about what I like and to research any type of art that fits this category. The techniques I utilize is if the art form matches a part of my identity.  

My current piece I’ve just created is “Alicia Keys Pop Art.” I created the theme of the piece by I like Alicia Keys and how pop art favors a lot of famous people. I am attempting to show how Alicia Keys can be n pop art too without using a computer program system.I used shading with various color pencils to sharpen her features. I used markers to make certain parts of stick out. I chose to sketch the picture of her from her album cover “As I Am.” The color of her lips shows how fierce she is. I wanted to make the features and colors of her face dramatic.

As an artist, I try to just gather all my current emotions into a funky idea for an art piece.

Reflection

My project was involving the concept of pop art. When I researched pop art I found that many famous people are involved in it. I chose one of my favorite R&B artist Alicia Keys to do my pop art on. I chose a picture from her “As I Am” album cover.

The knowledge I have already have about the project before I started was pop art was sort of vintage and colored oddly. Also, pop art was in a lot of comic books. Pop art targets the face of a person more than the body.

I wanted to acquire skills on shading, outlining, create all different types of pop art, and creating sketches of people.

I did accomplish this goal.

I know I accomplished this goal because I shaded, outlined, and created a great sketch of a person.  

Other skills I learned along the way was creating realistic eyes.

I’m most proud of how I actually sketched a real life person because it was hard for me throughout the project.

   My project is a still life of a plant in a jar. What knowledge did you already have about the project before you started?I did a still life in your class last year. What new skill did you want to learn coming into the project?I wanted to learn how to observe more things and sketch them better. Did you accomplish this goal? I feel like i did and didn’t accomplish the goal. I observed and sketched the plant but the background takes away from that. 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 I sketched the plant to my standards, but i wanted that to be the main focus instead of the background. What other skill(s) did you learn along the way? Another skill I learned along the way is how to use size efficiency at it’s best. It sounds stupid, but i usually do everything the same way and I don’t change things that often. So I experimented with size ratios to see which I liked the best. The thing I’m most proud of for the project is my ability to change the sketch this over time the plant started to die so i had to change certain details. What would you do differently if you had to do the project over again?I would change the shade of the plant to make it bolder.
