SO FAR SO GOOD

We have done so much in Mr. Sands class and I am so  proud of how far I have come. The picture on the left is probably my most successful because I actually tried and I wanted it to look good. Also I thought the spray paint looked fun so I got to work on my project so I could enjoy the project.      






I learned a lot from he shadow junk pile picture. I learned that art isn't always about drawing and painting, you can also make work out of everyday objects like the McDonald's cup and sumbrero in our picture.

Printing Press

Lately in Mr. Sands Art class we have been doing prints. Prints are kind of like stamps, you carve into this little rubber block and spread ink across it then press it to paper and the image appears. Here I made a sea turtle with a lot of colors. The only thing I don't like about it is that the ink fades on the corners which meant I should have added more. And most importantly I LIKE TURDLES!!!

Spray Paint Portraits

For step number 2 of the stencil unit we did face spray paint portraits. Most people cut out three portraits to spray paint, but I decided to take a different route and only cut out one with a gradient. And for those of you who don't know a gradient is when you put down one color and it slowly blends into another. In the picture you can see me unvailing my amazing portrait to Anthony Silk with him totally enthrlled at how amazing it is.

Face Sketches

In the next unit we did in Mr. Sands art class, we did stencils. Stencils are little cut-outs that when traced can turn into a picture. As a stepping stone to doing face stencils we did face sketches. Here you can see me hard at work trying to draw my eyes. I learned through this project that eyes are actually in the middle of your head, but do not appear to be because your head comes over your forehead. The major place I struggled during this project is the eyes, it was hard to get them the correct distance apart.
