This marking period we did two different pieces and started on one project. The project we started on was a year-long coptic book. To begin working on it, we decorated paper. We used ink to dye and color the papers in any way we wanted. I also did many ink transfers, I like them. It was fun and a great way to start the year.
The first piece we worked on was a shoe drawing. It was very hard for me because I had never done anything like it. I think I really grew as a person and an artist working on this piece. I really concentrated on how light and shadows effect color and other features. It was a lot of hard work and focusing for me. I learned how to shade and create a three-dimensional picture from starting with a two-dimensional one. It was fun and hard work at the same time.
The last piece we did was a collage named The Next President. We got to choose either a topic or a candidate and make a collage based solely on that. It was tough think of a topic or candidate to choose, and how to convey your message. Once I figured out how though, I just kinda started and didn't stop until I was done. I had all of my ideas swirling around in my head and somehow I managed to put them on paper. I do not know how I did it.
I can not wait for the next project, a lantern! Stay tuned for pictures through my progress!
