This year at art and design was pretty fun. The first thing we did at art and design was drawing an animal that u wanted to be if you were an animal, i did a pretty good job. I always wanted to learn how to draw animals. But I did not “learn” how to draw animals, all I did was just draw one, then we learned how to use textures. The only textures we did were just stripes, crosses and textures like that. These textures were not anything I could use for anything, so for me it was a bit useless because all I learned was that the more stripes the darker, then we drew animals again. After drawing we got to painting , I was really excited for it because I always wanted to learn how to paint, but all we did was mix basic colors, which didn't go too well because it ended up pretty messy. but i never learned how to make it not messy. after we went to go video editing. We needed to use a specific editing program (imovie) which was kinda a bummer because I had done some edits before but used another, better, program. So using another one was a weird change, also because in imovie u can't even place text. I still tried my best to make something out of it and it turned out pretty good. One thing is that I didn't use obvious green screens or filters. That's because I really wanted it to look good. Weird effects would have ruined it for me. but i was happy with the end result. Then we got to 3D printing, except we never 3D printed. We used a specific program and made models. First were the tutorials. were kinda boring but went well. then you needed to make your own model. It was hard because you could only use shapes like circles, triangles etc, and make them one thing. I tried to make a human figure. What I made looked like a human. But the colors didn't really matter because if you would print it would be just one color. Then we came to sculpting. The theme for sculpting was gargoyles (types of monsters) the monster needed textures. That was a challenge. If I used too many textures it would look weird but I did need textures so I put the textures on places like the accessoires. after we needed to paint it. but it was with a special sort of paint. I didn't use enough so the paint was a softer color. But I actually liked it. I didn't want my monster to have to bright colors so i was happy with it, i really liked my gargoyle. and the last lessons were about stop motion, was kinda boring but was okay

as end grade i would give myself a 7-7,5

 

end project:

At last we did the end project with the theme “heaven earth and hell” i wasn't all that happy with the theme, it was kinda cliche. but i had to deal with it. we had 1 hour to think about what u wanted as the end project. This part was a pain. I did the end project with Jennifer but she was at home that day. We needed to have the idea for the end project over text. talking was a lot slower over text then in real life. At the end we had at least a bit of an idea so we used it. I'm still not really happy about the end project but changing wasn't possible anymore. We started with the project. It went alright. The most fun part for me was painting the dove and spider. but the rest was a pain because i wasn't happy with the project. I would give the project a 7 as grade
