This week we started to work on our sketchbooks. We are making homemade sketchbooks because, we get to use watercolor paper as out end pages. Then we get to use fabric as out cover of the sketchbook. This is an interesting project because I have never done anything like this before and I think that it is unique and creative.
This week we started to finish our drawings and start to add some texture by adding color into out drawings. I ended up adding yellow at the end of the petals in my drawing up above. I really like adding color to this drawing because it was just so boarding when it was just pencil. Now I thought, "I want to be original for my drawing so I decided to add color in the petals instead of the background of the picture.
Today in class we had to choose a picture from google. It had to be a blow up picture because we want to focus on the contrast of the photo and not focus in the background. I like having the photo in black in white because you know where the darker shades of the colors and I can have a lot of emphasis.
Today in class we stared to make prints out of different materials. I used cloth and string for my first print, then for my second print I cut into the paper. I think this project is going to be frustrating because it's not going to turn out the way you want too.
Today in class I finished my Intaglio prints. I feel like this project is going to be very frustrating for me because I didn't want them to turn it out that way.
This is my final project! I am very proud of my painting because I pushed myself to try something that I have very little experience with painting and finding the edges. I feel like i could have done a little bit better job with the ladybug because it doesn't look very good. I tried really hard with the background and I think it turned out okay.
