PRINT M A K I N G IS F U N


For my two wonderful peices of art, wolfee III and saytin wolff. My prints show texture and contrast by how i put lines on the back of the wolf to show fur and how i made diagonal lines to show the back round. I made the positive space the furr on the wolf and also the backround lines. The negative wwas the other parts of the wolf and surroundings. I would say that the project is averagely crafted. It looks nice but definately not nice enough to be sold or called a "masterpiece". I believe i showed a bit of depth by adding the lines in the backround other wise the picture doest not depict much depth. with print makeing the obstacle was when i printed it down the picture was mirrored and it looked much different than the original. the good side was that i didnt have to individually paint each line because the printing paint took care of it at once.

Chalkkkk muralllls

This project was very different then what i usually do in art--single person projects--but with this project I was able to work in a team and it was actually quite fun. We all did something to contribute to the mural, wheter it was drawing bushes or shading a questionmark or even doing the best we could to make sure the pipe wasnt a complete disaster. The green pipe was the hardest to do in this picture because there was an inconvienience of no green chalk after we had started it.
It is very important to collaborate and communicate with youre teammates because otherwise you would have totally different ideas on the project. Like us, we all communicated and decided on one idea and what elements would be in it. So it worked out pretty well
This project was an okay succesful project but there wasnt enough chalk and almost a week later half of our mural is already gone. We also wanted to put a blue sky behind it but we didnt have enough chalk or time. it did turn out basicaly how we wanted it though.
It makes me feel good when i see people taking pictures with my artwork because that means it was good enough to have them modeled in it. The whole school has a chance to take pictures with any mural they want which i think is a pretty good feeling.
