Op Art

This probably one of my favorite pieces. I think I did really well at making this confusing and almost life-like. It was difficult to start this piece because I didn't know where to begin but once I started moving, it almost drew itself. I am happy that I decided to do only black because I think that multiple colors would make it easier to decipher and wouldn't look as good. If I had to do this project again, I would make the transition between the circle and the lines less noticeable. I would draw something more or add color n places so it all flowed together. Overall, I am very proud of this piece.

Water Colors

I am very pleased with these pieces. I think I did a good job at making distinct lines without the paint running. I thought it was a good idea to use the hair-dryer to dry a surrounding area before painting a different section to make sure that colors to blend together. I think I did well except for the bottom of the paw I didn't give the paint enough time to dry so it smeared. The most challenging part of this project was using water-colors different than I had learned how to use them. I had to change the way that I painted but over-all, I think I did pretty well. If I were to do it over again, I would make sure that I gave every piecee a while to dry so I would not have any with smears.

Magazine Reflection

This piece was challenging for me but I think that I completed it to the best of my ability. I've never tried to fill in parts of a picture that weren't there so it was difficult for me to make it match up to the pieces cut out. But looking at it now, I think I did fairly well. I succeeded at shading to make it look more realistic and I added the same features that the characters originally had. If I had to do this project over, I would make sure that I was more cautious when I glued the pieces to the paper because I accidentally got some glue on the part I was supposed to color, making it look blotchy. Overall I think I did fairly well.

Character Skeleton

This is my drawing of Dory and what I think her skeleton would look like. I think I did a good job considering Dory is an animated character, making her features more difficult to draw. I also like how I made her skeleton look similar to her body form but I also made sure that it also resembled a fish's skeleton. If I had to do this project again, I would make the bone for Dory's left eye-brown a little less pronounced because it almost looks like an eye. Other than that, I think I did very well on this project.

Text Collage

I like this piece a lot. I think that I was successful being creative. It worked to use different colored words to make a shape; it didn't really work to have such big words as the background. If i was to do this again, I would use smaller black words so they wouldn't distract the viewer from the shape. The most difficult part of this piece was finding yellow words. I learned that typography is more important and influential than I had though.

Cell Animation

I really like how this piece turned out. I think my character turned out great and I'm proud of it. I think that it's very successful for my first try. It really worked to paint on the opposite side of the tracing. It didn't really work to make the walls look red. If I had to do this project again, I would change the color of the background to be more subtle. I learned how important it is to exaggerate characters appearances.
