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.

Letter Form Abstraction

I like the overall appearance of this piece and I like the letters that I chose. I feel like it was successful other than how the edges aren't as straight as I'd like. It worked to do half of them black and half of them white so I like that. I don't like how the edges look shaky because of the brush I used. If I had to do it over again, I would've used a different brush. The most difficult part of completing this piece was trying to make the pieces stay down because they were curling up at the edges. I learned how the contrasting over colors make a piece more interesting.

Letter Form Abstraction

Overall, I think that this piece is okay. I think that it is pretty successful because I like how it looks with the letters mashed together. The only thing that didn't really work was making the edges of my letters sharp because I didn't use the right paint brush. I needed a thin one with a flat bottom. If i had to do this project over I would have used a different paint brush. The most difficult part of completing this project was painting it the right way and making the letters stand out. I learned that the way the letters look and what colors they are really affect the appearance of the paper.

Cartoonist

Cartoonists are probably my favorite out of art professions. I wanted to research this profession because of how important cartoons are. They're actually really important to common life because young kids and even many adults love too watch cartoons. I love how they're so fun and creative. People would be blown away by how much work it takes to create cartoons; they creators deserve a lot of credit. 
In order to become a cartoonist, 4 years of college are required. After you've scored the job, you'd be working with artists and/or with TV channels to make a profit off of your work. Mostly, cartoonist are drawing and animating their work on the computer. They use special computer affects to bring their characters to life and give them life. The yearly salary for cartoonist is about $49,000-59,000 depending on who you work with or for. 
Overall, I wouldn't want to do this job for myself but I give props to the people that do it!

The Great Doodle

Overall, I think this is my favorite piece that I've completed. I think that I was successful in not leaving a lot of white spaces and using numerous different designs. It worked to separate my designs with random lines but the boxes in the top left corner don't really blend in with the rest. If I had to do it again, I would fix those and add more marker. The most difficult part of this project was figuring out where to start. But after I had started, it was easy to complete the project because it flowed. Drawing this project, I learned how to make completely random objects and designs all look cool and artsie when added together.
