1. The Art Criticism Process
- Describe
24. What is your least favorite material to work with and why? How did you deal with it, what didn’t you like about it. Please explain. My least favorite material that I worked with in this class was watercolor paints. Most of my art is reliant on blending and mixing colors, and I personally found it really hard to do that with watercolors. I think the main problem was that I work really slowly when I make art, and you have to work quickly while blending watercolors. However, I think I dealt with my dislike pretty well. I did my best to work quickly, which proved to be a valuable learning experience. Also, I found that I tend to use too much water when working with watercolor, which ruins my paper. You can see this problem in my painting on the left. The colors aren't blended especially well, and you can see evidence of distress on the canvas toward the upper right corner. 19. Pick two pieces that show how you have grown as an artist. Compare and contrast how you’ve grown, how the projects are related, and what you thought of each. These are both self portraits, created roughly two years apart. I drew the piece on the right in seventh grade, and the piece on the right in this class. I think I've definitely refined my ability to shade, and my understanding of facial proportions, as well as symmetry. I've also developed a personal style of art- I was going for realistic in seventh grade, whereas now I prefer a cartoony sort of style, with sharper edges around certain features, especially hair and jawlines, and larger than average eyes. I remember not being very pleased with my portrait in seventh grade, but I really like how my portrait turned out this year. come by, such as drawing characters with unproportionally large eyes or with sharp, geometric lines. However, some have a more unique style. For instance, Picasso's artistic style was to draw faces all over the place- that was his trademark, so to speak. You can see my artistic style in the pieces above. I like to draw characters geometrically, with sharp edges. I draw eyes really large, eyebrows really defined, and usually only define the top lip. I use very stylised shapes in the hair- sharp points, swirls, the like.
