For my stencil, I picked to draw Belle because I wanted to stick with a Disney theme. I didn't get to draw her on the board because you (Ms.Sudkamp) used mine as an example. I did, however get to use the exact-o knife to cut her out. It was hard figuring out where to cut and not mess up but it was rarely easy. Clay fish! Actually, my fish turned out to be a tadpole. It was hard making the body because I couldn't get the exact shape I wanted. I kept messing up and having to start over. I decided on just doing a round body to make it easier.

Our theme was the library. This photo was most successful because it has perspective and uses lines to draw your eye to one point in the picture.
I had fauvism as my art movement. This movement was expressed with bright colors. The paintings in this movement have colors smudged together to create shading but they use bright colors. For my drawing, I looked up pictures of fauvism and started to brainstorm what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to do a person with long hair so I focused on those pictures. I liked the bright colored strands of hair in the pictures I saw so I used that technique in my drawing. In my drawing, the bright colored hair is my favorite part. For my two in one project, I chose to do rapunzel with her hair made of flowers. The flowers were very challenging because I had to intertwine them to make it look like real hair. After I completed the flowers, I really liked how they turned out. After the flowers, I started on the background which was originally supposed to be water color but it didn't turn out how I wanted it. I then used the exact I knife to cut out rapunzel. I used chalk pastel to make the background on a different piece of paper and glued rapunzel onto that. I really REALLY like how my piece turned out. The hardest thing for me to do was the background. It wasn't turning out how I wanted it to and it was a long process to get the right background. When I chose my project, I knew I wanted to do Disney but I didn't know how to incorporate it into the project. I then thought of rapunzel and the flowers she has in her hair and got my idea. My perspective drawing was fairly complicated. Since I decided to do bubble letters, making the letters look 3D was hard. I had trouble on letters 't' and 'h'. After asking for help, Ms.Sudkamp showed my were I had to draw my lines and that helped me to visualize the letters. First, I wrote my name in bubble letters. I drew my point of perspective at the top of the page and found my points on the first letter. I drew the lines to the points and then made the letters 3D. For this drawing, I picked something fairly easy but with some difficulty. The bun and the hair were the hardest things to draw for this sketch. Making the bun look just right and like an actual bun was very hard. It kept turning out like a big circle on top of the girls head. After many tries, I finally sketched the perfect bun by making a tiny circle and drawing curved lines to make it look round. To first sketch this picture, I started with the outline of her face and down to her neck. I added in her shirt and arms next. Her figure was hard to draw because she is supposed to have one shoulder slightly higher than the other. After the easy steps, I started in on the hair. The bun was the hardest to draw but the other hair was fairly easy. Gargantuan gummy bears. This street artist has turned gummy candy into lifesize art, depending on your perspective. The artist Leon Keer decorated the streets with giant gummy bears that appear life size when viewed from taller heights. These massive candy bears were located at the Malta Street Art Festival. To create his art piece, Keer uses chalk and paint. He mainly uses chalk for his street art and paint for his smaller paintings. Keer is a Dutch pop-surrealist artist. He creates work on canvas and 3D artwork on the streets. He mainly paints contemporary themes involving environmental concerns and raises questions about the livability in the world. In the gummy bear piece, the green bear has fallen and died and his fellow comrades have gathered around the mourn. Keer's work is interesting to me because he catches your eye with bright colored pieces. You may see gummy bears walking along the road, but to him the painting symbolizes gummy bears in mourning over their friend. His paintings make you think differently about the world. His technique is to paint something that will give everyone who sees it a different thought of what it's about. The thing that catches my attention in his paintings are the colors he uses. Keer uses bright colors on a more dull surface to draw you in. His paintings and street art symbolize how the world is changing.
