Blog post # 4

Most of the feedback I got from my class mates for pretty much summarizing the same thing. Everyone in the class could tell I was sledding down a hill and was going to crash into a fence. I got all positive feedback except that Hannah said that I could have done the clouds white and not different shades of blue. Some of the feedback was helpful and some was not. All the kids could tell I used all shapes including geometric, anthropomorphic and organic. The best feedback I got was people could tell that I was unhappy and I am going into a fence.

Blog post # 3

Overall out of all the projects my favorite project is the shape project. I loved to tell my story by using shapes. It cute, short and fun to do. I used different shapes by cutting exactly how I wanted to them to look. In my picture I used organic, geometric and anthropomrphic shapes to desribe what was gonig on in my picture. My picture included the sky, snow mountian, fence, tree and me on a sled going into the fence. I used different shapes and sizes to determine how big things were in portion to my picture. I also put shapes infront of other shapes to show what was bigger and smaller. I think I told my story very well, and if people looked at my picture then would understand what is going on.

Wire Sculpture Reflection

As I completed my wire sculpture, I became more into it. The most challenging part while doing the wire sculpture was being left handed. It was hard to grip the tool using my left hand and bend the metal using my right. I always lost the grip on the wire!! The best part of my sculpture was my eyes. I loved the way they looked and I think it looks most like human characteristics. Something I also liked about doing the wire sculpture because you had enough freedom to create your on thing/ideas. It had to look like you but you got to decided if you wanted thin wire or thick, or whats in the middle of your eyes etc.
The drawing assignment before doing the wire sculpture did not help me. I never once looked at my drawing to see if I actually look like the sculpture or what I was doing wrong. It would be more accurate just to look at yourself in the mirror then looking at your drawing. The most important thing I learned about doing lines is that lines is they can be totally random,or have to exactly fit to the activity your are doing.
