1. What I learned in Visual Arts Term is that making a puppet takes time and lots of work to make a wonderful puppet. I also learned that value is important in art, but it's even more important to learn shape, forms and proportion if I want my drawings skills to get better and more skilled.
2. So far, the homework I'm very proud of is the puppet project because even though it didn't came out perfect, it's still a very pretty puppet and I'm proud of it. I worked hard on that homework!
3. One time in art class, the model did three different poses and I have to draw them all on paper. I think this is great for boosting my art skills because it builds skills such as sizes or forms as well as creativity. This art is called self portrait. It has negative spaces and positive spaces as well. It's a very cool drawing with dramatic poses.
4. My goal is to learn as much about media as possible, because I really want to learn how to do 3-D animation! I want to learn how to make great models, realistic to simple, big to small, cute ones to scary ones, all sorts of kinds, because I can play around with textures and the appearances. But most of all is I want to learn how to make the model move. I know it has length, width and height, but that's about it. I want to start from basic, then climb my way forward until I mastered it. What I do know about term 2 media is that it's not just about 3-D animation, it has photo shops and other things. If I'm lucky enough, I hope I'll master so many cool art skills in Media! For Figure drawing, I think it will get harder. Challenges can be very interesting but hard at the same time. I'm also improving on my art skills, which is great. I'm not sure if I'll be focusing more on value (adding shadows), or other basic things, just to the next level, level 2. I'm not sure what Design 1 really is, my best guess is when I hear or see the word "design," fashion comes to mind. Fashion is all about designing clothes, from common ones to very fancy, high class ones. I know some hand sewing, and that fashion designing needs a pattern. Nowadays, there are sewing machines, which is much faster than hand sewing, possibly more neat, too, with lots of sophisticated sewing details. Despite all this fashion, I wonder what other designs I will learn that I never knew. To sum it all up, I want to learn as much as possible in Term 2 in visual art classes!
