Module 4

1. I thought that creating the value scale was not too hard but definitely harder then I remembered it to be. Once I got down closer to the white end of the scale it was hard to judge just how much lighter to make the next box. I enjoyed making the color wheel a lot, it took a few tries for me to get it to look the way i had envisioned but eventually I was able to get just what I wanted.

2. I enjoyed working with the paints the most even though it took me the longer amount of time. I found that it was more enjoyable mixing the true Primary colors to create the secondary ones.

3. I believe that the most important discovery is that the true primary colors are cyan, magenta, and yellow. Not red, blue, and yellow, like we are taught at a very young age.

4. The most important thing I learned was how to use the pencil and hold it at the right angle to create the values portion of the project. This to me was important because when I first attempted it, I was holding the pencil straight up and down and was finding it hard to know just how much pressure to but down, but once watching the video and seeing the technique they had shown it became easier for me.

Project 1

Line: Hockey Sticks Value: Black and White Image Shape: Box with circles Form: Jar in Snow Space: Street Light Color: Bright Orange Shoes Texture: Cinnamon Buns Balance: The River Contrast: Kid in Color on Black and White background Movement: Hockey Slapshot Emphasis: Face Shot Pattern: Suite case Proportion: Toddler in proportion to everyday living Unity: The Puzzle During the early stages of doing this project I found it challenging to find and create pictures that were able to represent the words and definitions above. Once I began taking just a couple pictures, I couldn't put my phone down and looking at things in different ways. When doing this project I allowed myself to look at the things around me with an open and free mind and photograph a lot of the everyday things around me that represent the definitions. This project was one that truly allowed me to free my mind and look at everyday things I see in a more creative and expressing way. During this project m...

Self Potrait "Blue Smiles"

Title: Elizabeth Artist: SN Media: Oil Painting on canvas with mounted butterflies Size: 47 X 51 X 3 IN 1. I chose this artwork because I really liked the use of black and white against the colored background and blue butterflies. Title: "A little bit louder now..." Artist: Ivan Durrant Date: 1999 Size: 91.5 X 122 cm Media: Painting 1. I chose this for inspiration because I really liked the high saturation in the picture, and thought that I would be able to replicate that effect in my own portrait. Title: Portrait of Tam Purves Artist: John Brack Date: 1958 Size: 91.5 x 122 cm Media: paint 1. This artwork was the one that influenced me the most. When I saw this one I liked the simplicity in it, along with the small detail that brings the whole thing together. I was inspired to try and create something with simple shapes while also capturing the picture as a whole. Title: "Blue Smiles" Artist: Alex Militello Media: Digital/Comput...

Creating the new Gmail was very easy and quick while creating the blog took me a little more time but was also pretty quick. I did run into one problem while using Google Chrome but to fix it used Safari instead. Throughout this course I expect to learn different aspects of art and to learn about different artists and their styles. Ive taken one online course and I'm confident that this one as well will be one I enjoy and am able to keep up with. 1)I have been told that I am not able to succeed and I have worked hard enough to prove otherwise. 2) I learn from my mistakes and try to take something from every experience 3) I don't give up after one failure
