Day five: Animal texture project
I totally nailed my image. It was a little crooked, but I like my final matte.

Day two: Texture project
We cut our white away and rolled out ink on Plexiglas. We mix our two inks to get the desired hue and then make another square of ink until it looks like crushed velvet- or until you get tired of the kissy sound.
Then print ten papers with your first layer cuts. Whatever shows up will be in you lightest color.
Then you cut away anything in your color plan that was that color.
You now have your second layer.

Day one: Texture project
we worked on finding an animal with a visible texture, we also had to google what "visible texture" was in art. I immediately thought of pachyderms- animals with rough, thick skin.
So, I picked an elephant.
We had to draw three prints of the animal, or different ones, and create a 4x6" panel to put on our rubber stamp. then transfer it and begin cutting out the white places on our color plan.
On the left is my color plan. And the right is my practice print, after I had cut my white out.
I also carved my art teacher's stamp for her, both sides, I think I'm getting better at precise cutting.

These last few weeks, we've been experimenting with prints and carving stamps and making mats; which I'm great at
The first stamp was on an art gum eraser, and was used to make a "Radial Tesselation" which is a design that you pivot around one point and repeat.
We made stamps of our initials and then matted it, officially. We learned how to title, edition, and sign our mats. And now we're working on three layer rubber stamps.

I feel I met all five requirements on the celebrity painting because I used all of my space proportionately to my 1:1 scale print out then converted it to a 2:1 scale using a grid.
I also included about seven shades after blending and all were shades of blue.
I used my time wisely, because of course Giudice expects it.
I think it looks something like Helena Bonham Carter, at least to me- although I had used a different type of photo effect than most other students, I didn't use "cutout" I used "marker"

How I fulfilled the color wheel's requirements:
I feel I deserve an A because
A) I chose an original design for the color wheel, while demonstrating the correct order and shades
B) My colors were blended in the other schemes but crisp in the main color wheel, therefore showing the shades in between the primary and secondary colors.
C) I used my time wisely and effectively, and finished early
D) My lines were crisp and I didn't spill much paint on my final work.
E) It was neat and distinguishable- you could clearly tell it was my prior design.

Day three: Color wheel project
I started painting, but I hadn't known to paint foreground to topmost textures-which was my downfall. I was sure to keep my lines crisp by using painters tape. I wouldn't suggest you do this unless you stick it on something else first, it will be too sticky and rip your paper.

I fulfilled the requirements of the cabinet project by
A) Keeping my lines straight and precise with an exacto blade
B) keeping proportion to my original line design
C) Resembling my original "view-finder" panel
D) Demonstrating how to emphasize a line without altering the line itself.
E) And using my time wisely throughout the class period
