Reflection

This semester I have learned so much stuff that I can do in art! I have learned that art is a huge spectrum of ideas and I have only explored one tiny portion of it. I have learned how to blend pastels to make images look more 3D. I have learned to do better on the focus of backgrounds, foregrounds, and middle grounds. I have now noticed how much of the elements of art and art of designs that I use on a regular project. My best project so fair probably is my first one on the grid painting with squares. I really liked practicing my drawing of people on my Grease theme drawing but I would like to learn how to make the noses more realistic. I have loved this first semester of art and can't wait for next semester. :)

Artist Albert Hurter

Albert Hurter is one of my inspirational artist. Hurter has created many pieces of cartoons on disney animations. Some of his most famous pieces are found in Disney movies: Pinocchio, Fantasia, Snow White and the 7 dwarfs, Dumbo, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, etc. I think he was pretty cool because he is able to use his skills to make a cartoon come to life through Disney which is awesome. I would love to be able to have a cool job like that!
Here are some of his Artwork Produced on Disney:

Grease Theme

I made this project because I love Grease! It is my all time favorite movie! So I thought I should make a project on it. I really want to get better at drawing people. That was another reason why I decided to do this project. I thought the project turned out a lot better than what I expected it to turn out to be but I really want to do better and work out drawing people. I used paper, pencil, internet for ideas, and color pencils.

Mountain Paradise (Magazine Pieces)

I made this piece by cutting up many pieces of different color magazine paper. I made the black mountains by cutting out a long black paper and shaping them as mountains. This piece took a lot of time and patience. I thought the out come was pretty good and i'm glad I did the piece.

What I think Art is!

Art I believe is different to everyone. There is no clear definition to art. Art is somewhat of an emotion/emotions.They help express feeling by using color and the use of imagination. Art is our imagination on paper that we can express. Art is limitless which means that art will probably never end. Art is so wide based to the beginning of time with the cave men and their cave drawings to our new advanced art of technology like computers, phones, laptops, etc. No art is bad because art is whatever you want it to be and anyone can be an artist. Color is a big part of art. It shows the true meaning of the piece and makes us think if the piece is sad by the colors of blue, black, purple, or other cool colors. We can tell if the piece is happy or excited by warm colors like red and yellow that are bright and cheery! I love art because you can express all of your feeling just by painting it or drawing it! Art is a stress reliever to me and it helps to have it as a class in my schedule! :) 

Antique Keys

My Second Project consisted of antique keys that make up my name. I used the colors of purple and lime green to match my room. I got this idea from looking up antiques and it came up with antique keys and I thought it would be a good idea to do a cool project on it!! I hope to be able to hang my project in my room. I thought this piece was really fun to paint and I would definitely do it again sometime!

Artist- Edwin Henry Landsee

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Henry_Landseer

Edwin Henry Landsee is a great artist that specializes in painting/drawing animals. He is an inspiration for my art because i really like drawing different animals. He is very detailed in his drawing and he is very critical on his work. He makes his artwork have and effect that surrounds the whole room and make it seem like the animals are actually there. Which is awesome. I really would like to draw one of his paintings for a project in advanced art soon!
