The name of this project was the ink pen drawing. In this project, we had 3 options: we could either draw our shoe, our hand, or a plant, all with an ink pen. I decided to go the shoe route. One new skill that I learned was how to cross hatch, hatch, and how to do stippling. I used all three of these skills in my shoe drawing. The cross hatching and other new skills that I learned helped create a visible texture on the shoe. It was very important for the lines to be as straight as possible, which I tried my best to do. The texture and lines helped create a pattern in parts of my shoe with the cross hatching, hatching, and stippling. The overall mood of this drawing is dark, as the entire drawing is in black and white and it gives off an eerie feeling.

This project is called the 3/4 self portrait with tempera paint. The goal of this project was to take a picture of ourselves looking away from the camera at a 3/4 view, draw that picture in pencil, then paint over it using tempera paints in class. One new skill I learned was how to draw a face from a 3/4 view, as it was slightly different than drawing a face from a head on view. Since the face is turned slightly, the eyes and mouth and nose are all slightly shifted, which took a few tries for me to draw correctly. Color was an art element I used in this project, as I had to get the correct skin color and lip color, which was the most difficult part about that. I also again, had to get the shape of the head down, which I feel that I did an a lot better job this time than with my last self portrait. The colors create a contrast, as the background color that I chose really compliments my red sweatshirt and the color of my face/hair. The shape helps create a balance and proportion, because the shape of the head is one of the most important parts so you can lay down the other features of the head correctly. The way the background colors compliment the person in the picture creates a soothing or relaxing feeling.
The name of this project was our self portrait and the goal of this project was to take a picture of ourselves where we are facing the camera, then use a pencil and paper to recreate that picture. One new skill that I learned was how to make the face proportionate to an actual human face by doing things such as making sure the eyes are in the middle of the head and the edge of the lips line up with the eyes. Making sure the shape of the head was the correct shape was one of the hardest things to do for me, as I had to erase many lines and redo them, but in the end, I think I did pretty well on the shape of the head. I also created space with the distance between the eyes and nose and mouth and the empty space on the forehead. The shape of the head helped create proportion, as you need the shape of the head down before you can make the other parts of the face proportionate to each other. The art and design elements I used help create a relaxing mood, as you are looking at a self portrait of someone who looks relaxed with a neutral face.
The name of this project was the leaf painting and the goal of it was to go outside and find some leaves, them put them of a white sheet of paper and do our best to recreate them using watercolors. This was the first time I have used watercolors in a few years and I feel like I was able to learn how to mix the colors to create other colors that don't come in the paint set. I also did better at starting with the light colors such as yellow, which is something I have struggled with in the past. I utilized shape, which is an art element, when I was drawing the outlines for the leaves. I also used color when I had to mix different watercolors to get the proper leaf shade. These art elements help create contrast in the leaves and variety in the colors. The mood in this painting is peaceful because the way the colors of the leaves compliment each other and how some of the leaves overlap.
