visual journal draft

This project was very fun and let me use my imagination.The first one with the Christmas topic was fun but in the end it just looked all crazy and unorganized. My favorite part was curling the bows and and adding the ribbon to it. It really framed the whole page except the page was not that great. Having the teddy bear see through was not the best idea cause it just looked like a big brown blob. But it was fun putting all the different Christmas colors and wrapping paper on the background. My favorite was the summer page. I love this one because I put a bunch of bright summer colors in the background to make it pop. I also love this one because I didn't go to overboard with it. It looks more neat and organized so it looked nicer. My favorite part is probably the part with the sunglasses and the beach going through them with the bright orange kinda as the mouth. I also loved the colors of the ocean cause it was nail polish and the beach mad of fabric. It took me a while to think of my ideas but it sure turned out to be a great creative experience.

clay and colored pencil project

I am very proud of my clay project because it turned out a lot better than I thought it would. The hardest part about molding the food was trying to get it hollow and still have the right shape of the meal. I love the hash browns and the way they still have a rugged edge. I also really like how the bananas turned out. The hardest part of this project was getting the right color on the toast and apples. Because I used glaze, I couldn't blend the colors together as well or use the right kind of value. My favorite color on the meal was the butter and the bananas. It looks real! I was not as happy about the Oreo. In the picture I used to go by, the light was on the oreo making it look more brown. After I finished though, I tried to put black over it too but it just made the picture look more scribbly. My value was difficult to get all in and because there was a lot of different sections to do. My favorite part of this Oreo is the outside rim. I think it looks almost real except it's way darker than the rest of the oreo. Overall, I am proud of what I have accomplished and I learned a lot from it.
