GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL
(ALL)
I KNOW IT'S MY DESTINYYYYYYY

Never let me around clay again in the history of ever

Vworp vworp vworp

The art class has the TARDIS

If only.
IF. ONLY.
Instead, we have a panitin' by yours truly.

So. Actuallt, this is my first painting ever. Well. Unless you count the ones when I was little, but I'm fairly certain it doesn't matter.
YEAH SO I HAVE MY FINAL PROJECT TO DO
So, uh.
I'd say more later, but being lazy as I am that's probably not going to happen.
Even though I really, really love this piece.

WHELP

I am a terrible person
Photoshop awww yis.

"It's not chance, Mr. 'Olmes

it's chess."

this is not the princess bride :C

Now that I've gotten the BBC Sherlock reference out of the way I can proceed to bore you with my project
While making more references. Maybe.
eheheheh.
SO. We did drawings using ~perspective~. Drawings of games to be exact :D
<insert the game is afoot quotation here>

Back when my hair wasn't shortttt

So. Uh. Apparently I'm not allowed to c/p the questions anymore, so I can't get through as quickly.
Whelp
Uh.
 

Here, have this while I figure out my dilemma

Forget this, I do what I want >:C

Describe your overall thoughts on the final piece.  
How successful do you feel this piece is and why? 
What worked about this project? What didn’t work? 
If you were to do this project over again, what changes would you consider making? 
What was the most difficult part about completing this piece and why?
What did you learn from this piece?

Yeah. What now, mr. Sands? WHAT. NOW.

I liked this project? It was fun, and watercolors paints infused with dihydrogen monoxide are cool. I'm nto doing vocab, so forget that, and vocab in here is purely unintentional. I wonder how long I can avoid using vocab. Oh. watercolor paint infused with dihydrogen monoxide. let me fix that. And... done! Okay. So we used colored pencils sticks with color in them to go over the paint infused with dihydrogen monoxide to bring out the colors more and blend stir magically together the hading. or something.

 So. I'm done. I had fun. and this was a project and I have yet to get enough sleep why must the world torture me so why is it not the weekend or better yet why is it not ~CHRISTMAS BREAK~ (oh no! she said Christmas D: )
Oh. Right. Final product:

look at meeeeee :D

Now for something I don't care about

Ugh.
This.
Why read this when you could be paying attention to my ~amazing stencil~?
Go look at his face before reading this.
What am I doing with my life. Absolutely nothing. Oops :D

And yeah. So. Here's this thing.

Which was put at and angle to become this thing

Which is apparently supposed to look 3D.

1. Describe the process you went through to change your object into the correct perspective to create the drawing. This is when you were in the lab.

We used photoshop in order to distort it. And then we printed it nad put a gird on it and then we made a bigger grid on a different sheet of paper and then transferred the picture (in this case the apple of death and ponies) onto the bigger grid through the magic of FRIENDSHIP.

2. How did distorting and stretching the object allow for you to create a drawing that would look different to the viewer?

Because it wouls paarently make it look 3D. Which didn't work for me by the way. So I wouldn't know *wallows in self pity*

3. What were the most important concepts in the project to make it successful? 

Distorting it *more*.

This is the best apple though (extra Moriarty time)

I owe you a fall, Sherlock. I O U

 

In which Rebekah proceeds to fangirl over the British

Every fairytale needs a good old-fashioned villain.

Now for the one person that actually reads this blog (Hi Mr. Sands!) I apologize for the next little bit of gratuitous fangirling:

IGOTTODOMORIARTY'SFACEINCLASSANDITTURNEDOUTWELL AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA SDFGASJKFBHSK

I'm good. I'm fine. Just fine. Eheheh.
So.
I did a stencil of this guy:

Look at his face

 His name's Andrew Scott and he plays one of the most brilliant villians. He plays Moriarty in the modern of Sherlock Holmes.

OKAY. Onto the "actual content". I don't know why you would /want/ the actual content when I could just spam you with pictures of his face and quotes from the show but whatever.

*spraypainting the stencil*

Question time:
Apparently I'm supposed to put in vocab words in my answers.
These words to be exact.

Stencil                 Spray Paint       Xacto Knife        Positive/Negative Space

Composition    Collage                Photoshop        Threshold              Contrast

1. Explain how you changed your photo in the lab to create a stencil.

 

We used PHOTOSHOP (but how can i make it MORE obnoxious?) and went to THRESHOLD to make it black and white and then we printed it out.

2. When creating the collage background explain your choices of colors, materials (magazine paper, books pages, etc), and placement. How does it relate to your topic? If no relation discuss general idea.

We tore out pages of books for our COLLAGE and glued them to the...thing.

3. Discuss the way positive and negative space was used to create your stencil.

 

4. When using the xacto knife, explain the safety procedures, how to use the knife and any challenges you had to overcome while cutting.

He had to cut away from outselves using the XACTO KNIFE and. Um. No challenges? It wasn't that difficult, actually.

5. How was your experience with the spray paint? Discuss how color choice is important, placement of stencil, and any other concepts you noticed while creating this.
The SPRAYPAINT was fun. Um. Since this guy was a villian I did black on red like so:

Honey, you should see me in a stencil.

Because those are obviously villian colors, yes/yes?

Moriarty. Yes. Him and his suits.

LINOLEUM, PAINT AND BAYERS, OH MY

What is sleep?
Apparently it's good for me or something.
Pfffffft. Idiots. Who needs sleep 8D
I'm on my tea high. Hush, children.

HOKAY. SO. WE DID PRINTS IN ART CLASS.
And it was fun because I got to cut stuff. Dunno why Mr. Sands thought it wise to give me pointy things, but  it happened. No small animals or children were harmed in the making of this print. Only a jaguarundi's dignity.

So. As always. Here's a self-evaluation. Thing. Also a pretty picture. Let's roll.

I cannot smile for a camera help. I can't tell if it was intentional or I was really trying to smile.

SELF EVALUATION (in which I begin sounding dull)

 

1.     Describe the overall composition of your artwork (balance, unity, rhythm and movement).

  In short? No. In long? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

2.     How did you add texture and contrast to your print? Is this important? Why?

    So to make the prints, we had to carve into the linoleum block. The parts carved out would not show up if we put paint on them, allowing us to create texture/contrast by leaving parts un-carved. A way to add contrast was choosing colors. Like black paint in gold paper. It is indeed important, Mr Sands. It's not like you were talking about it in class or anything. Cough. ANYWAY. 'tis imporant because. Uh. It would be hard to tell what the image was without the texture (not to mention it would look so incredibly dull) or contast. However,  too much contrast (blue/oragneg, red/green) would make it look. Uh. Not. Good. And cause eyepains.

3.     Explain how you used positive and negative space to show your image.

   So I commented about how nice the day was, but then commented about how it would rain and be freezing cold within a few hours. Okay. Bad joke. I can't think, I'm trying to deal with the sugar overload in my tea ;_;. So. Positive and negative space. The whole thing relies on the positive and negative and how it is used. The positives and negatives are used to (oh my god terrible repetition help me) show the texture and assist in the contrast. Which I expained in prior question.

4.     Describe the craftsmanship of your print. (How good the project is technically crafted) 

  I guess it's pretty good? It's not bad and it's still pretty obviously a jaguarundi. Which looks like a mix between an otter and a cat, by the way. So. Adorable. Anyway. The positive and negative spaces are key in making the texture, which came out pretty well. You can tell what's leaves and what's wood and what's fur and stuff. And my contrast wan't atocious. So yis.

5.     Were you able to achieve depth by showing a foreground, middle ground and back- ground? Explain.

   Sure. I'll answer. Maybe.

Later.

*procrastinates*

6.     Explain your experience with Printmaking. What were the obstacles and advantages?

    Uh. it was fun? I got to cut things. Obtacles included not accidentally cutting myself. Advanteges included awesome jaguarundi print. Although now it looks like it has eyebrows...

Case in point.
