For my final project I chose to do a stop motion video. what my process was figuring out what I wanted to do and getting the pieces I needed to do it. Then I filmed my movie and did my voice over, afterwards I sent it to my art teacher. The pros about doing a stop motion movie is that I have the pieces needed to make one and had the time to do it. The con about doing a stop motion movie is it could take me a while. What I found successful about my movie is that it came out better than I thought it would and I do think it was fairly easy to find out what was going on, what I would change if I had to do it again is spending more time making sure nothing was in the way and taking more pictures.

Required Question Answers: 1) The art criticism process is the process of judging a piece of art. The first step is to describe what you see, what shapes do you see? What elements are there?. The second step is to analyze the art piece, textures, shading, color, shapes, and lines are good examples. The third step is to interpret the art piece, to explain or look for the meaning/message of the art piece, for example, what is it communicating? The final step is to make your judgement. 2) The art piece that I will be critiquing is my sculpture piece. When I look at my art piece, a glazed sculpture piece of a clock, I see a very distorted shape with curving edges. The front of the piece where the clock is looks very flat and messy. For the most part the piece is very shiny and almost completely covered in an orange color besides the front and the inside which covered in red. When I'm looking at my art piece I don't see a big variety in color. The piece is pretty smooth but a little rough in a few places. The value is a medium, the lines on the front are very straight, and the space on the front is very flat but the rest does seem very open. The theme and the story of the piece isn't very clear and I'm not feeling much when I look at it. So my final judgement is that it's an okay piece, the main problems with the piece is that there was really no meaning to it and it doesn't really look like a wood grandfather clock. So overall, could be improved a lot but it does communicate was it's supposed to be so I guess it is successful. 4) There are several reasons why someone might make art. It could be because it helps them relieve stress, maybe to express emotions, to achieve something or just because they enjoy it. 10) The one I would say I've learned the most from is my sculpture piece. The reason why I learned the most from this one is because this is the one were I realized I need to make sure I take some time to make sure it's the way I want it. This piece also taught me that I need to plan exactly what I want to do so I know what I'm doing. 16) If I was given the opportunity to I would do over my painting piece. The reason why I would do over this one in particular is because I would paint my trees differently so it doesn't take up so much space in the painting and to make more like trees by adding a lot more branches and have the leaves come off of them so they actually look like trees.

Print-A process in which an artist repeatedly transfers an original image from one prepared surface to another. Inking-The artist applies ink to the plate. Transfer-The paper or other material is pressed against the inked plate, the ink is on the new surface. Edition-A series of identical prints made from the same plate. Relief printing-The method were the artist cut away the sections of a surface not meant to hold ink. The artist uses distortion of reality to present the art piece. Escher use three colors and had a bird and an architectural structure as the main focus of his piece. Escher used woodblock which is a technique which was used to print the image on a slab. Steps: Using a ruler, connect the opposite corners of the rectangles to find the center of the shape. Using a compass, draw the biggest circle as possible within the shape. Draw your design in the the circle. Trace the finished design onto the tracing paper. Use a piece of carbon paper to transfer the design from the tracing paper to the piece of linoleum. Use a dark marker to color the lines on the shape that will be cut away. Use a bench hook to keep the shape in place and cut away and unneeded parts and carve out your design on the shape in a outward motion. Use an inch(2.5 cm) of ink on an inking plate and use the brayer to roll out the ink in both directions till its loaded with ink. Select a paper to make an edition of five prints. When dry, sign each one with a pencil at the bottom. Write the title on the left, the number in the center and your name and date on the right. The number of your print is a fraction, the denominator represents the total number of the edition and the numerator is the number of the print. Your first print should be numbered 1/5. The person that I tried to draw was a girl named Mia Rose. My relationship to her is that she is my baby sister. The medium that I used for my portrait piece was pencil, I used this medium because I knew that I would mess up with the features trying to get them right. What my process was from start to finish was trying to get the shape of the head right and drawing the facial features correctly with the right proportions. What I found to be successful was making decent facial features, what I would change if I had to do it again would be to add more detail to the cheeks, and to get her to look younger. The most helpful warm up for my portrait piece is the nose. The reason is because I had no idea that it was all about shading which did make it look a lot better. What I found to be the most surprising of the face proportions is the eye because of how much more detail to drawing them there is than I thought. What my process has been since the in-process blog post was to make sure it got fired in the kiln so I could start glazing. I used the color I did to make it look more like wood. What I find to be successful about my piece is that it wasn't that far off from a grandfather clock. What I also find successful about my piece is most of the colors that I chose. what I would change if I had to do it again would be not using the clear glaze ware and I would use a ruler when cutting out the clay slabs. My piece shows off the theme of line with the carvings of the house, moon, wind, and snowman. My piece was successful because my carving on the linoleum block was good enough to tell what things are and showed up in the prints. What I would change if I had to do it again is doing more test prints. As well as taking a different approach on how I carved the house and moon.
In my art piece I used one point perspective of a view of the mountains. The art piece was based on a photo that I took when me and my family went on a trip to Asheville for a weekend, which was really fun though it didn't help that I'm scared of heights. What I found to be difficult about the project was trying to get the right colors and to blend them in well. The reason why I chose the watercolor technique and hallway perspective drawing is because they really helped me practice and get a feel for how to use watercolor and perspective.
What I found to be the most helpful warm-up is the watercolor techniques because it helps me with how to apply watercolor to the paper. By learning first hand how things do and don't work out. What I like about watercolor is how many different ways to use it, with all of the different techniques with the brush and all of the ways to use paint. Overall it's just very fun to paint with. what I found to be difficult about watercolor is that it's a bit harder to get the exact color you are looking for and can be very easy to mess up with at times.
