The End of the Year Blog post

I feel that at the begginning I was really bored and annoyed by art. Then it went really down hill with art as we began drawing. But by the end of the year I was able to really get into art and had fun with the sculpture and drawing project. Some of the ups were the splatter and then finding the things inside the splatter and drawing them. One of the downs was the printmaking project. I understood it, but my image just couldn't come out right and that really frustrated me. This year in art has really given me a new look on art. I usually hate art and didn't want to be apart of it. But now I looked forward to art and actually enjoyed it. Even though I'm still not very good. I have decided though that I've had to much of art. Next year I will probably switch into theater because I have acted before and really want to move on to that. Thank you Mrs.Roberts for everything you have done.

I see the light drawing

My goal for using the light was to emphasize the windmill in the teardrop. This also helped emphasize the teardrop and the top of the background. This idea just popped into my mind from a song and then the idea of people wasting emotion came to me and I included the baby teeth as the emotion because we only have a certain amount of baby teeth. I used the pencils to give the base color and have the picture get darker and then use the eraser to lighten the part which were to dark. I learned to never start out with 6B pencil because on the bottom of the teardrop there is a faint outline of the first teardrop i tried to draw.

Use of light

Be sure to write about at least 2 situations like the ones just described that come to mind when you think of light and answer these questions:What is the potential for light to be symbolic in a work of art?What could it symbolize and why?

One situation is that when using light you can emphasize something in the picture while one area could be dark. The potentiol for light is that you can have light change the feeling from happy to sad or add a new element that creates a controversy in the picture. It could symbolize happiness, good strength, trust because light usually represents happy emotions. Another example of use is in the song white light by Gorrilaz it tells of how when you've gone to far you may see the end of the tunnel.
