Art Name Design

Art Name Design!

This is my draft.. Over here, we drafted all of our designs that we might want to do for our final. For example, over here, I had balloons, snowballs/ ice cream, popsicles, and Legos. After the conference with Mr. K, we finally decided on what the theme was going to be. 

After I chose my theme, (the snowball/ ice cream) I drafted the circle of 4's. This is just to help you know what color you're going to be using for your final draft. We used water color on the top right, color pencils on the top left, oil pastel on the bottom left, and acrylic paint on the bottom right. As you can see, I used different theme for everyone of the circles to know which one would be better for my final. 

Finally, I decided I wanted the oil pastel as my name and acrylic paint as my background. But an artist can never be sure if they might change their idea afterwards. So of course, we first drafted pit our theme on a big piece of paper. Then, made a rough draft to see how it might look like on the final piece. As you can see below, you can tell that I experimented with both oil pastel and acrylic. I would sometimes try oil pastel in my name or in my background, or sometimes, I would try acrylic paint in my name or in my background. And so with that being said, here is my final draft: 

Last but not least, I have finally decided that yes, I would stick with oil pastel as my name and acrylic paint as my background. So I just technically, I just kind of copied my out line of the rough draft and applied acrylic pain on my background and oil pastel on my name like planned. I really liked the background kind of looked like ice cream or snowballs were dripping. It really gives you the texture of the picture slowly 'melting' down. 

REFLECTION: 

1. What was the best part about this assignment? 

The best part was that I got to experience with different types of materials. For example, acrylic paint, oil pastel, water color, and color pencil. I also got to learn how to control different types of materials. For example, if I was using water color, I had to make sure the brush wasn't too wet that it made the color go every where. I also learnt that when using oil pastel, you always have to keep an eye on the tip of the oil pastel because if you're watching the edge of the pastel, you edges would all be ruined by oil pastel when it was suppose to be acrylic. 

2. What was the most challenging part of this assignment? 

I thought the most challenging part was making the sure 'droplets' didn't go 'out of bounce.' For example, sometimes, the paint might have kind of mixed together with different colors. I also had to make sure the rain drops were in place and didn't over lap with the other places. That was really hard because I had to make sure the tip was painting the outline of the rain drops. If the tip wasn't at the right place, I would just have a blob of paint on every single rain drop. 

In conclusion, I really enjoyed making this piece because I really liked how it blended with my name and also blending it with the different colors that I used. 

Art Photography Reflection

Question #1: Did one of your photographs show more than one of the 5 categories outlined in this assignment? If so, which one and how?

I thought this fits into atypical angle and also texture. I think this because the rock is applying to where the rule of thirds lines are. Although, because this picture is so close, you can see the texture/all the details to this picture. That's why it also applies to texture and atypical angle. 

How did I get this picture?

I first applied the rock on the floor, afterwards, I adjusted the camera so the rock can fit in the 'rule of thirds graph.'  Then, I put the camera closer so you can see all the details (texture) and also the rule of thirds position.

Question #2: If you could do this assignment again, what would you do differently?

I think one thing I could do differently is maybe having more shadows picture. 

Question #3: Which photo was your best? Explain why. 

I think my best photo was:

I think this because it sort of cool how you look at the view as if it was like a 'worm - view.'

Cyberbullying

      Cyberbullying

Have you ever typed mean things about your friend or even anyone? Have you ever sent out something embarrassing to the public about someone you hate, And then made fun of it by writing mean comments about? Think about it. Have you actually may have done that before, but then didn’t notice. This is called cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is online bullying. Which is talking online and saying something bad about someone. It could be chatting in gmail, or any kind of chats. You can be talking to your friends about how one of your classmates in your homeroom is really stupid online. Then everyone can see it. Everything you do leaves a footprint online. And it’s permanent there. Meaning it’s there forever! So make sure you don’t cyberbully others.

I used to think no one can see what you’re doing because once you delete it, it says it’s deleted and goes right into the trash can. But then I learned that people can scan the page you were on, and then forward it to his/her friends. Making other people know about. So if you do write bad comments about someone, others can see it, and it can hurt other peoples feelings. How I learned this was because in the computer boot camp, we watched a video about how anybody can see what you’re doing. Even now! So please, don’t do anything before you thought about it.

This learning changed my thinking on how the internet is safe. Because I never knew that people can track you and then still see what you were doing that time. So if you give your personal information, (Like passwords, where you live, phone number, etc.) then people like robbers can hack into your home. And this will impact my future because now I know that I should be more careful when I’m using the internet and not leave anything personal online. So for the big take away, I think it’s “think before you act.” Because if you thought about what you were going to do, you would know what’s right or wrong. (Or what you can and can’t do.)
