Module 15- Reflection journal

1. Why did you select the inspiration pieces?

 - These images I chose are quite similar to the photo I took of myself.

2. Why did you select the media to create your self-portrait?

 I enjoy drawing in vine charcoal. It is what we used in my Drawing II class this semester and I have been getting very familiar with it since.

3. What challenges did you face in creating your self-portrait and how did you overcome them?

 Getting the proportions correct and making it actually look like me.

4. How does this piece represent you?

 It represents me, because it's actually a photograph of myself that I like and I've never gotten the chance to draw myself before. I like the representation and how I did on it.

5. What elements and principles of art did you apply in this work?

 I tried to get the lining and proportions down more than anything.



6. Did you enjoy working on this project?

 Yes, I enjoy all drawing projects.

 7. What do you think of your final artwork?

 I think it came out well. It's me, it's my art and I am fine with it.

Module Four - Art Making/Material Exploration #1: Exploring Value and The Subtractive Color Theory Blog:

1. Discuss what you thought about creating the Value Scale and Color Wheel.     - Creating the scale was fun, but confusing. Confusing, because I wasn't sure if I had got the colors correct when mixing. It was also interesting to see all the different colors that were able to be made just by mixing them together. I've never made a color wheel before, so this was a nice experience getting to do so. 2. Which media did you enjoy working with the best and why?     - The painting and color wheel. I enjoyed that much more than the other, because the colors intrigued me and it was my first time making one. I've done a value scale last semester in my Drawing I class, so I wasn't too excited to be doing one again. 3. What was the most important discovery in the creation of these studies?      - The most important discovery throughout all of this was the mixing of the three primary colors to create the one in the middle of the wheel. ...

Module 16 - Blog: Reflections of AED 200

1. What were you expectations for this course and where they met? My expectations for this course were somewhat met. I was expecting to do a few drawing projects, art gallery visits, etc. so they were met in that sense. However, I was not expecting us to do blog postings and such. 2. Now that you've been through this course, What is art? How would you define it now compared to your intial posting? I would define Art as someone's individual creativity or creation. 3. Who was your favorite artist in your original posting and who is your favorite visual artist now? If there is a difference, why do you think so? If you have the same favorite artist, why do you think so?  Andy Warhol was my favorite when I initially posted. Now, I might say it is Roy Litchenstein. I've began to enjoy his work a bit more of the past few months. 4. Now that you've completed this course, how do you feel about taking an online course? Is your answer the same as it was in your first p...
