Clay Projects( no pictures)

The clay project was my very favourite project of the year. I have made several clay projects this year, and so far all of them have turned out great. I think this year I have made better clay projects then in past years. All of the projects turned out great and they all seemed easy to make it I had a fun time when working with clay. If i were to redo this project I could have made my projects smoother looking. The most difficult part about this project was trying to find things to make that the people in my family would like. Although, these projects weren't done until after Christmas, it still meant alot to me to make them for the people that I love.

Where Did the Earth Go?

I really liked this project. This project has a dark side to it, which was interesting because it wasnt originally supposed to. I feel like this was one of my better projects because its so different from some of the others that I've done. This whole project turned out good, and I didn't really come across any mistakes. If I were to redo this project I would add some of the other planets to it and make the background darker so it still had that dark look. The most difficult part about this project was that I did the whole thing in chalk so the colours smeared a little.  The one thing that I learned from this project was that you can turn something scary into something artistic.

Union Jack

I'll be honest, I love this project. This project means alot to me because its one of my favoutite countries flags. I feel like I did a pretty good on this project because it was something that I took my time on, and I'm the only one who would draw a flag like this in my hour. This project was very easy and everything about it looked right when it was completed. If I were to redo this project I would make the flag more even and try to cover up some of the paint brush lines. The most difficult part about this project was trying to not mix the colours, because it would have messed up the painting. The one thing that I learned about this project was that I have a love for countries and expressing that through art makes it even more awesome.

Rope



Well, I'll start off by saying...this project wasn't my best. This project was not one of my most successful projects, but I'll admit, it wasn't easy drawing rope. Honestly, nothing really worked about this project because I have no idea how to draw rope. If I were to redo this project, I would redo the whole thing and start over... because maybe that time it will look more like rope. This project was difficult all together, and I didn't really learn anything...as you can see, I should have taken my time.

Crazy Colours

I really liked this project because it was different from anything I've ever drawn, or for this example, painted. I feel like this was one of my better projects that I've done. One reason being because it was something I really enjoyed making, other than having to draw something that everyone has to draw to. This project turned out pretty good, and everything seemed to look right when I was done making it. The only thing about this project that didn't work out to well was trying to find water colours that weren't so alike so the picture didn't have repeating colours. If I were to redo this project the only thing that I would change would be that I would have used pastel chalks instead, so it would have been more colourful. Overall, there were no big mistakes that I found while making this project and I learned that if the project is something that I get to choose, it turns out a little better.

Candy

I didn't really like this piece because I sort of rushed though it. I feel like I got an OK grade on this project, but I know it wasn't one of my best. The thing that worked about this project was the colors and the rest, like the drawing, didn't go so well. If I were to redo this project I would change everything about it because I could have done so much better. The most difficult part of this project was drawing it, because it was all 3-D. The thing that I learned from this project was that you shouldn't through these projects...because if you take your time it will look a whole lot better and so will your grade.

No picture.

I loved this project, it was one of my favourite ones. I think this project really turned out nice and I think you should do this every year, for all classes. I feel like I got a good grade on this piece because I worked hard on it everyday and I didn't hurry to get it done. Everything worked about this project and I'm happy with how it turned out. The only thing that I would change about this project would be the flag choice because it seemed like there was way to much red and blue. The most difficult part about this project was trying not to get the paint on other parts of the paper, especially the other flags. The thing that I learned from this project was that things turn out so much better when you don't rush, I'm really happy with my work on this project.
