What was your most successful project this semester? Describe the project and your work, then explain why you picked it.
My most successful project this semester would probably my two into one project. For this project we had to choose two feelings/emotions or two objects and make them one. I decided to do two emotions of beauty and pain. I wanted to do these two show that something may be beautiful, but can be experiencing pain at the same time. I decided not to have any color except on the harmed parts. I think this was my most successful project because I spent a lot of time on this project and at times I had to just start over and it was a lot of effort. But it was worth it in the end because I love the outcome and wouldn't change a thing about it. ~ Brittney's Blog

My
most successful project was my news project. I really liked the idea of
my project and it turned out really well. I was nervous at first cause
I've never drawn a person before and a lot of people aren't good at it. I
spent a lot of time working on different aspects of a face using a
facial expression book. I'm glad I decided to do this project though
because it's one of the best I've done. For this project I used charcoal
which I'm not too experienced with. I did a project with it last
semester but that's the only prior experience I had with charcoal. I
think I could have more value in my drawing but I was scared to use the
6B because if you mess up there's not much you can do to cover it up. I
used darker values in the neck and the hair but not much on his actual
face.----------
I find that my time project was the most successful. It was a
completely original project that stemmed from my own fascination with
the wonder of flight, and through this shows my level of creativity, as
well as my ability to find a way to make this rather ambitious idea
work. It also conveys the light-hearted message I was trying to portray
through it. The fluffy cloud background and the focus on how the plane
elegantly rises and falls on the wind as it sails smoothly through the
sky illustrates calmness and tranquility as your mind floats along with
the airplane. This piece conveys my originality and message much better
than any of my other projects throughout the year have done. ~ Kimberly's Blog

My most successful project, in my opinion, was my Identity Project. The
project is supposed to be what goes on in my mind most of the time when
i'm daydreaming, or dreaming in general. The media I had used was
markers and pens which is my favorite media. I picked this project as my
most successful because it shows most of my skill, especially with
colouring and style. It has the most characters and took me the longest
time to do. I am very proud of this work and it is just so important to
me. Its a very big picture, almost a poster, and having something
represent me (my mind) means a lot. ~ Nory's Blog

My most successful project was probably my "lightning bugs" project I did at the beginning of the semester. I learned a lot of new processes while working on this particular project. I had never really used photoshop before and my teacher wanted me to challenge myself with different mediums such as this. I also got the chance to try out a different technique for creating art, and that's by using the photocopier to print and take pictures of still life pieces and layer the different copies so they create a whole new picture. I didn't work with very many materials that were familiar to me so this was a new experience but I really enjoyed learning about photoshop and all the different things I can do to make a picture like this one come to life. I wasn't sure at first if using photoshop and actual still-life pieces was a good idea, but my teacher convinced me to play around with different objects on the photocopier and when I found a setup that I was satisfied with, I was extremely pleased with how the project came together. I could have just as easily said no to using the photocopier and just painted something similar to this piece with acrylic or watercolor paints, but since it was a brand new class when we started on these projects, I thought it was time to step up my game and risk trying something new.
