1. Explain your experience working on a team and executing your ideas for the mural.

My team and i were very producitve and we got a lot of work done and i think our project was very good. We interacted with it very well and many people thought ours looked good. We all came up with many great ideas but we all agreed to make this one b/c you couled interact with it more well.

2. Explain the importance of collaboration when working on a team.

we each got to come up what we wanted to do. I did most of the grass and rubbed the chalke in the bricks. other members drew the clouds and the rainbow.

3.  How successful was this project? Explain how and why.

4. Explain how you feel about creating artwork that others can interact with. Ex. Invoving the whole school? 



Describe your overall thoughts on the final piece.  
I dont think this was the best project ive done. I had a little trouble with understanding what do.
i dont think i did a very good job with this because i messed up on a lot of things.

How successful do you feel this piece is and why? 
I dont feel like i was very successful because i messed up to many times and made things to dark or
somethings didnt stand out as well as other peices on the game board.

What worked about this project? What didn’t work? 
I think i drew it very well to start off with but then started to go down hill from there. Some 
things that worked were that i drew the game board very well and i made a few things stand out. The stuff
that i didn't work out were that i made the acrylic paint dont dark on the game board. I also put to much water on my 
brush to begin with. I also think that i didn't make some important stuff stand out.

If you were to do this project over again, what changes would you consider making? 
 Some thngs i would do over again would be i wouldnt make my brush be all soak and wet so 
that it wont look soaked on the paper when i put the colors on. Another thing that i would do is 
make the most important things on the board stand out than the least important things.


What was the most difficult part about completing this piece and why?
The most difficult thing about this project was the coloring. I think this was
the hardest because i was very confused about where to add the color and where 
not to add the color.

What did you learn from this piece?
 I learned many things from this project, i learned that 
its not easy to rush art. It takes many hours of hard work. I will 
think about that next time.

1. Explain the process you went through to develop your drawing.

i first had to outline the parts where is showed the darkness, i then colored the back sheet all with my pencil. after that i went back over the drawing and colored over it and then i put value in it. It then turned out very well.

2. Explain how you found the different values in the portrait?

I looked at the face in many different ways and had to find the darkest spots. When I found the darkest spots i colored the side where the sun is shining the least and colored that dark. When i finshed that i lightly colored the place where the sun is shining the most.

3.  Did you achieve a full range of the different values within your portrait?  How?

yes, i colored the darkest spot really dark and i added value to everything even the lightest spot. I also made sure that the shirt had alot of value to it. I made sure every little detail was perfect.

4. Describe your craftsmanship.  Is the artwork executed and crafted neatly?

i think it went great. I tried my very best to make sure the values were good. I think i messed up the smile to.

5. List any obstacles you had to overcome and how you dealt with them.

i dont think i had any obstacles. i mean it wasnt the best artwork but i think i did pretty good.

This stencil drawing took alot of time and effort. It took about 2 weeks at the most. We had to go to the computer lab and find a drawing or object that we wanted to do. I did a lamboghani. It was hard but the steps were pretty easy. We had to trace the object off the projector. Then we took and Xacto Knife and cut things out. After that we went outside and spraypainted it with different colors to make it look nice. I had a lot promblems with the cutting because i didnt know wich space was positive or negative?

1. Describe the process you went through to change your object into the correct perspective to create the drawing. This is when you were in the lab.

 

when i was in the lab i was trying to find the perfect object that would be good for this project, i also was trying to find things that i enjoyed. Then it hit me, in am going to do a hockey glove because hockey is my favorite sport. When we went back to the class room i had to think of the colors i was going to do. I went home and looked at my gloves that i have, they were blue with a little bit of purple. The logo is my favorite hockey company which is called ALKALI.

2. How did distorting and stretching the object allow for you to create a drawing that would look different to the viewer?

 

When we were in the computer lab we used one of the programs to stretch the object and make it look like it is coming off the paper. After coloring it and making the scales for the object we had to take a picture of it.  Mrs. Rossi came over and she found an angle that would best fit the art.

3. What were the most important concepts in the project to make it successful?

 

There were many concepts to make this project very succesfull. But the most immportants ones were  making it bigger at the top and coloring it. Making it bigger than normal is important because it makes it look like it is coming off that paper. Also that is the whole point of doing this project. Coloring is important becasue it makes it look real with all the color on it.
