Feedback From Group

when getting my feedback i got both positive and constructive comments. One of my positive comments was that i had a great idea and was going in the right direction with my piece. Also. they said that i had lots of good pictures and cut outs. My constructive feed back was to move my butterflies to the other side cause their more environmental then they are luxury.

Three Forms Drawing

In a post on your blog describe how the drawing experience today felt. Describe specifically what you feel is successful about the results and/or anything you learned during the process.

Today we had to try to draw the objects based on shadowing and lightness. When I drew the object I tried to make it as exact as possible. Since I would not call myself the best drawer I was frustrated at first but towards the end I became comfortable with it. I found the pine cone to be the easiest because of the detail in the object and the amount of shadowing. I found the cup the hardest because I found it hard to find light and where it hit so I didn't know how exactly to draw it or what to do for it. Other than the difficulty with light and shadowing I found this activity fun and I felt successful.

Extending our findings from The Pour Paintings

I am doing a rainbow made out of collage inspired by rainbow bunny so it is going to be all of the same colors made out of magazine paper. When my group was giving me feedback they had said some things that were constructive and positive feedback. They said i had used good color and that me cutting out the colors from the magazine was good also since i have not drawn to much yet they said that they cant really tell how its going to work out but o far looks good. For constructive feedback they said that i might need to get more colors out of the magazines and that my lines are a little uneven and to even them out even more. I am excited to see how the project turns out.

Collaborative Drawing

How did having someone else work on your drawing add to or take away from the final result?
How did it FEEL to return to your drawing and see other people's marks on it?


It felt kind of weird having someone else's work on my own because what they had did was not what I would have done with it. Although it felt good to see others ideas and perspective of my painting and why they drew what they did. It felt  kinda surprising at first and go wow did people really think that was my view of the painting. But then in the end I could see why they drew it and what they were going for. Overall it was good to see some people in the classes ideas collide.

Talk and Draw

What was challenging about this experience? What would you do differently if you had to do this activity again?


Today in class we had to draw many objects on a table but we could not look at the table. Our partner had to describe to us where the objects were and what size, and shape they were. I found this activity very challenging cause I felt so tempted to look but I knew I couldn't. I found that when don't look though you don't feel as scared to get it perfect because you cant see it to know if what your drawing look exactly like it. If I could do this activity again I would try and find other things that look like what is on the table so then it would describe objects better. Like when I saw a cone on the table i said it looked like someone had put an ice cream up side down, I found it would be easy to find objects that look like it and descirbe that. I had fun with this  and was very engaged.

Reflecting on Blocks, Play-doh, and Finger Painting

          This art class we pretended as if we were 3 years old again. We fingerpainted and made towers out of blocks, and played with play-doh. When i had first touched the materials it felt really weird to have paint just carlessly on your hands.  At first i was tempted to pour paint everywhere but evntually i tried it and i felt so carless just throwing the paint everywhere on the paper and it being all messy all over my hands but what mattered was that i was making art and did not think about what anyone thought about it like. I remember when  always finger painted and played with play-doh and sometimes even ate the play-doh. I remember thinking to myself i believe its art if i like it and if someone else doesn't get it well they don't get me and my style. Today when throwing the paint on the page and building a tower and letting it fall and making a dinosaur out of play-doh. It brought me back to me knowing what the paint meant on the paper and what the dinosaur meant to me, although others may not get it, thats okay cause what you create is your uniqueness and what makes you true to you. I loved this art class and hope to do more stuff like this in the future.

Thinking About The Artist

Who is an artist?
What does it mean to be creative?
In 3 or 4 sentences describe what an artist needs to be productive and creative?

Everyone is in artist if they have there own personal ideas and style on things in life and they love to create. What it means to be creative is to create new ideas that no one has thought of or done before and to also be imaginative and have there own vision. An artists needs to be open minded in order to be creative and productive and be able to try out new things to see what works. They also need to be imaginative and be able to visualize what they are trying to create. Knowledge is also a good aspect in order to stay on track of things and know what you are creating and what else is needed. Lastly i think that personal style is the major aspect of creativity cause it gives you that signature that makes it you and thats what i think creative means is to be unique.

Reflecting on Picasso quote

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up."


What do you think Pablo Picasso means by this statement?


In this statement I think Picasso means that every kid has there own way of expression and identity which makes them like an artist because artist have there own expression. Although when you grow up u might try to be like someone else so you will not have your own personal outlook on things and you will not be true to yourself. So when were young were all artists cause we are our own person and identity and when we grow up we must stay true to that.
