Half-way Point

 This is the linocut that we made and it is my favorite project so far. I really liked cutting out the stamp on the linoleum the best. I think the main reason it turned out the best is because I didn't draw it. I can't draw too well but I still like art. I also think that the blue and orange to together really well which makes it much better than the other one color stamps.

This is the portrait that we drew using shading. I think this project definitely taught me the most out of all the projects so-far. I wasn't really good at shading but this project really helped me with that as well as how the face looks.

Stamp Snake

This is a linocut of a snake. We took some linoleum and scraped out some of it to make the absence of colors to draw a picture. This was a really fun project and then when it worked that made it all the more fun. I wish there was a better way to line up the different colors but i still think that it worked pretty well.

Spray Paint Final Product

 This is the final product of the spray paint me photo post I made last month. Wehad to trace the different colors of the photo, then cut them out (which took forever), and then finally spray paint on the picture frame we made. While cutting out the different color stencils, I learned that accidentally cutting yourself really hurts. I didn't do the best job tracing because as you can see the colors don't line up at all but it at least still looks at me.

Self Portrait

This is a self portrait that I made by looking in a mirror (so amazing right?). It wasn't finished yet at the time of this photo. I added some more shading to the neck and ears and I also worked on highlighting the hair some more. I learned a lot of things about how the face is spaced out. Your eyes are half way down your head, you nose is half of the way down from that, and then your mouth is one-third of the way down from that. Your head is really differently shaped then I thought.

Spray Paint Me

Spray paint me.

Value Scale Project

This is the first drawing that I have done with actual shadowing. I do think that the shadowing looks all a little lighter on the computer and I also think that the transitions are really choppy and its like a puzzle of different shadow values. I also think that when I got to the left side of his face everything is off of where it is supposed to be. Next time I so a drawing I will make sure to make it have smooth transisions.

Junk Pile Shadow Art

This is a shadow bridge. We used a slide projector to cast a light on the wall and then put random junk in front of it to block the light and make a picture with the shadow. I thought it actually turned out really well. You can see the water underneath the bridge and all of the different support ropes and beams. The water was made by taking a transparent paper and coloring it blue with wet erase overhead markers.The ropes were made out of strings and cut up toilet paper rolls. In the end this was a really fun project that was rather difficult because finding trash that looked how you wanted it too can be hard.
