Print Post

The first thing i had to do was look up the pictures of the animals i wanted to do as well as the backgrounds for them.. After that i drew the animal in my sketchbook. Once I completed the drawing of the animals and the background that was to be used with them i traced it onto a peice of tracing paper. From there i placed it onto another page in my sketchbook and then i traced that onto my Linolium. I then traced the linolium with sharpie and began to use an exacto knife to cut the parts that i wanted to be light blue and left the parts that i wanted white uncut. I then grabbed a paint roller and the white paint and the light blue paint and did five different prints. I didnt get the best print the first time it took me a couple trys, from this i learned practice makes perfect. I say this because it took me multiple trys to finally create a decent print.

What Happens Next.....

Tounge/ Frog

In my opinion this tutorial was a little bit harder because i felt like Mr. Sands skipped a few steps that couldve saved me some time. I also thinik that the tutorials that I have completed were helpful for the two photo's, but i do not think they will help me on my own. i learned a little bit about photo shop but it didnt really sink in, but other than that my experiences on photoshop have been good.

Angry Pancakes

My experience with Mr. Sands tutorial on how to make Angry Pancakes was fun. At first it was a little bit confusing but after i got the hang of it and asked a couple questions it became simple. The tutorial definently helped me out because Mr. Sands broke it down into a step by step project. In my opinion this was a great Tutorial and definently helped me out.

Stencil Project

Throughout this experience I have learned many different lessons, for example i learned how to spray paint properly and i also learned how to layer correctly. I also, in a way learned how to use photoshop. One lesson i learned was dont get too close to your stencil when spray painting because theres a chance that you could cause dripping and that is definently not what you want when spray painting. The first thing in this whole process was taking an emotional photo. After that I had to go into Photoshop and edit my face to add different textures and colors. The next thing I did was trace each color off the projector onto a poster board. Once i finished tracing each color on a posterboard i had to cut out each thing. I then painted a peice of cardboard the color i wanted my background to be. Lastly i took each stencil and spray painted the desired color over each stencil to get the final image. In my opinion this  project was a success because not only did i learn the basics of stenciling i also learned how to use Photoshop and i learned how to spraypaint properly. This was my experience throughout the stencil project and i think it was a major success.

In my opinion i think the whole contour lines unite severely increased my drawing skills. The reason i believe this is because before this unit i couldnt even draw a stick person.The shoe drawing might not be my best work, but it was a learning lesson and taught me how proper contuor lines are supposed to be made. I think this has been probably one of the most helpful units in art so far from what we have learned so far. This shoe helped me because it taught me to draw what you see. This is how the Shoe drawing helped improve my contour drawing.

One similarity between the two is that they both include the same shapes. One difference between the two was the oil pastel shading project was complete unlike the layers pro. I think the oil pastels were better because they were alot more natural than the Layers Pro app. From this layers project i learned how to shade properly and it has helped me immensley in the whole shading thing. Technology is important in art because it can help you do things not possibnle with the human hand. It can also help you research different techniques and pretty imaginable.
