The Great Doodle

I had some troubles deciding what to do with this assignment, but I did enjoy it.  Overall, I think It was quite successful.  If I were to redo this project, I would take time to put big inspirations and hobbies in my life into it, like music.  The most difficult part about completing this project was being patient with all the black and white  and thinking of good ideas to put into it.  This piece taught me that beauty can come from nothing but a sharpie, a blank piece of paper, and an imagination.

Clay Project

I loved working with clay.  My mug wasn't very pretty, but it was so much fun to make!  Even after the mug was done, I was still making things, like a snowman (before we were supposed to make a kiln creature.. for that I made a dog.).  I feel I was successful with this after I figured out.  If I were to redo this project, I would smooth the inside of the mug out more, make it thinner and taller, and not have designs on it, because they aren't visible after putting on glaze anyways.  The most difficult part about completing this project was making everything smooth and not having the mug be too think or thin.  This piece taught me not only how to handle clay, but how to build something out of it; before this project, I hadn't ever professionally done anything with clay.

Color Wheel

The color wheel project was interesting.  I feel I was successful with this project; although it was quite time consuming, I had fun with it (especially when I smeared pain on my friends face...).  I had some issues using the compasses; they weren't very easy to turn, so the lines were uneven and sloppy.  Other then that, I had no problems.  If I were to do this project over again, I think I would work a little harder when blending the colors to make them flow a little easier.  The most difficult part about completing this project was taking my time and being patient with it.  This piece taught me a lot about painting that I never knew.  For example, paint should be mixed with the handle of a pain brush, not the brush.
