Angry Pancake

I made an angry pancake with the jaws of a fish. Through this project I learned how to use Photoshop to do a project like this because I had never done it before. The most difficult part was to cut out the jaws of the fish.

This was the most successful of my projects because it turned out really well and like I wanted it to. Also this was the most successful because at first I didn't know if I was cutting out the stencils correctly and I wasn't really expecting it to turn out as nicely as it did.

I learned the most from this project because I had never drawn a skeleton and the bone structures before and the first one I drew looked like it was from a cartoon but the second time it turned out much more realistic with the proportions and look.






This project was successful because the print came out pretty well and it looks like a penguin. The background with the mountains and icebergs also looks good. The changes would be how I drew the backgrounds. The hardest part was transferring it to the linoleum and cutting the the parts of the penguin out. I learned how to make a print by doing this project because I had never made one before.

Spray Paint

The hardest part of this project was to cut out the stencil using the knives and make sure there are no islands so the colors don't blend. I also learned how to make a frame. This project also helped me learn the way shadows work and how the colors will be affected.

Self Portrait Sketchbook

Through this project I learned the correct way to draw a face with correct proportions. I learned that the eyes are exactly in the middle of your head, the nose is between the eyes and the chin and the edge of the lips are located exactly below the pupils. The hardest part was to make the eyes look realistic and how to draw the ears and hair.

Self Portrait Stencil

The purpose of this was to take a picture of yourself and then go into Photoshop and make it look like there are a certain amount of colors. We are going to be using this for a future stencil project.

Junk Shadow

For this project we had to take random pieces of trash and arrange it in a way that it made a shape when put in front of a light source. The most challenging part was to come up with an idea to make it look like something instead of just a blob of trash. This piece was successful because the shadow looked good and it made sense. After finishing I learned that you can make art out of anything even trash.
