The claw

This is supposed to be an alligator claw. I honestly liked this project. Artist take risks like I did I used prisma colors and I have never used them before. I used my own unique ideas by having the red to yellow fade in the back because they are the compliments of green and blue. This also makes the claw the focal point and the details stand out. When I started this project I decided to make it super zoomed in so that one of the fingers is off the page this creates a good balence of the artwork on the page. During this project I learned how to use prisma colors instead of crayola. I improved my techniques with colored pencils and I really think that it turned out to be a good piece. I think that I could have put more contrast with the webed feet from the fingers. Also I think I could have blended the claws Better but it was hard to blend black and white. Overall I liked this project and would do it again. But I I did it again I would do the webbed feet differently.

Colored pencil

I loved making this project because colors pencils are my favorite things to use. I feel like they are nice and easy to work with and it is easy to show the value in the lollipop. I found again that the lollipop was very hard to draw because of all the wrinkles in the wrapper plus it was hard not to eat it.  But I find that the things that work in this piece is that the values in the pole of the lollipop and the values in the wrapper. The bad things are the control of the pencil and you can see streaks of the the pencil. I liked this project and I most likely will choose color pencils for my final because they are the neatest  to work with and I have been using it for the longest time.

Chalk

This project I found to be really hard. I found the chalk to be a lot like the pastels but harder. I found it to be messy and kinda hard to keep neat. The strengths of my project are how I blended the colors and showed the translucents of the wrapper. But the weakness of this project was how the wrapper looked I think it would be better if I was neater and looked better. Overall I liked using the chalk but I will not choose chalk for my final because I found it hard to use.

Scientific

This project was very fun. I choose to do pencil because it's it is the eaisiest way to show contrast. I showed contrast in the way I shaded the the astronaut so that he would stand out from the moon. I think the most successful part of my artwork is the shading, it really makes the astronaut pop out and become the focal point. The exercises that we did we too repetitive and a bit non explanitive, but pretty easy. Overall I liked this project.

Scientific

This project was very exiting we had about 5 stages to this project what we did first was draw 2 pictures from our pictures from the internet and then picked the best picture then, found the best angle. I choose the tail just to be different and i thought it was hard. The hardest part was drawing the dots for the texture, the dots didnt turn out round so my craftsmenship needs work. I think that the overall idea is what brought this print togeather after we carved it we made five of them. I just like how it is an original idea and how well the chamealon stands out from the back ground.

Frog tongue

This was an extreamly fun project and i would love to do some thing like this again. i had alot of struggles with adding the color of the toung to the frog. I also had trouble adding the 3-d affect to the tongue. I had to restart a couple of times because of the different layers so if your doing this watch out for that. I think that for never doing this before i think that the tongue turned out pretty nice it has the color of the tongue and it looks quite disterbing to be quite honest. I think that this project was fun and we should do more.
