In this semester, we have learned new things that we were not aware of before. The three main projects that I liked the best where the piñata, book making, and the frottage. What I liked about these projects was that we needed to be creative and got to do it by ourselves. We also have to do it with different and many materials and where not forced to do it with the materials he wanted. Therefore, we got a chance to use the materials we wanted to use.
When we used the piñata we used glue with water in a container, we used paper, a balloon which we pasted the paper to. The piñata that I did was a bomb that was all black with a string that was colored orange. The frottage was a paper that we used to trace the shape and to fill it with a lot random things that we were looking at. In the book making, we had to use some loose paper, string, needle and some hot glue and cardboard.
The piñata and frottage where alike in a way because in both of this projects we got a chance to put ideas together without doing it by force. Then the piñata and book making are alike because both are made by hand and we were using different material to make it happen.
The book making and the frottage were very different. Because in book making you are, suppose to make it and in the frottage, you just trace stuff and that is all.
We have done many projects over the past year but I had to pick these three because they were a lot of fun making them. They were also the fastest projects that I could find from the other ones that we made or did. From those three that we did I liked the piñata better because we got to make and do something that we wanted to do. In addition, we had a lot of fun doing it, especially me.
This has been my first year taking Art class, and I have learned so much throughout the year. Before this art class I had no confidence and ability to make any type of art piece. There are three projects that I have done in the second semester of this wonderful art class and they were; The Piñata project, the Monochromatic project, and the Frottage project. The piñata project was a project that involved a lot of work, and time to put on it since it was the most interesting project I have done for the semester. We had to create a piñata by having a balloon and filing it with air then, wrap it around with strips of paper with glue on them. From there we were able to paint it to our liking. The monochrome project involved using a printed out picture, for me it was a boat, and we had to make a painting about it using one color with different tints and shades. The frottage project involved going outside and getting leaves to create a rough frottage sketch of them. But it would turn into a small collage of them since I had sketched many different types of leaves. All of the projects were very unique in their way but had similarities such as, using a foundation to start the projects. All of these projects gave me the opportunity to use items that I don’t use in a daily basis. They also had terms that I didn’t know about but understood after the teacher explained it clearly. They were somewhat alike but had many differences. Differences of all three projects were that the piñata was three-dimensional object while the monochrome and frottage were two- dimensional. The monochrome and frottage project could use tint and shades in the colors and only involved using one color not like the piñata which was any color that we preferred to use. The frottage project involved using a special type of pencil that was darker but after that we would use outdoor objects like leaves which was something very different between the other two projects. The piñata was the longest of all the three projects and it was my most favorite one from all of them. Then the monochrome was the second favorite but really interesting in using one color. The frottage was a one day project but it was the only project I knew about before I did the project. Well pretty much I have learned a lot from this whole year in art but the three projects I chose were the ones that were very interesting to me and somehow changed me to like art more. These projects were great do and fun to work on them which is why I chose them even though everything we did was interesting these were the projects that fascinated me. All of these projects had a meaning to me which is why I chose them over all of the others. I hope that I continue to take art class for next year because I know that there is so much I can learn about art and get an interest to it.
I have never considered myself much of an artist, simply because I cannot draw. However, to say that one cannot be an artist based from the fact that he cannot compose a drawing to his own liking is bogus. The wide variety of concepts and workings that fall under the umbrella of the word “Art” is vast. So much so, that it gives talent less swells as myself to craft whatever we may… without just the use of lead, paint, or ink, but many other mediums as well. This was a lesson I thankfully learned from Renner’s Art-1 class. So, I thank you. In telling, here are my top 3 favorite working of my final semester. One of my favorite classes involved several other seniors and me arriving late to class from our assembly, where we see the entirety of our class in a nucleus around Mr. Renner with around 50 sheets of white printer paper. Seems we missed the introduction into origami. Many others cared less but for I was absolutely thrilled to be taught such a delicate form of art. My fat thumbs couldn’t pretend to fiddle with piece of paper in hopes of transforming it into even the basic crane. #3. My First Origami Crane. As I stated thoroughly beforehand, never once have I considered myself an artist. Never a painter, in my mind. Well I had no choice but to go along with the semester’s first assignment, monochromatic painting. What the project entails was choosing a picture of some landscapes, and create our own interpretations of the photograph in painting, by only using one base color and vary each detail by the amount of shade and tint in color. When it was all said and done, I had over 30 International Sister School principal’s gazing on in wonder over my dark and eerie blue pier. I think pretty low of my anything I do, but even this satisfied me. I still see the dark blue rails leading the vacant abyss. #2. Monochromatic Pier. For my final project on my list, I had to choose one which let me have fun. I never made a piñata, even though this wasn’t the style I have seen them made before. But for guy like me, hearing that something “might get messy” is fine with me. I love getting my hands dirty and taking glue-soaked papers to my balloon to create its shell is plenty fun for me. The best design that came to mind when It came down to it was a simple rocket ship. As I said, I don’t care… still a fun project anyway. #1. My First Piñata. I would like to consider my self a potential artist, not because I’m good. But because now I have a desire to do more, despite preconceived notions of me or from others. And because it was the most fun I had all year, besides Loosing the Mammoth. p.s. Thanks Ren.
In this project based essay I’m going to discuss the three projects that I have chosen I’m going to talk about there similarities and differences. The project that I will be discussing would be the piñata, book binding and the composition book.
The project that I’m going to describe would be the book binding were we had to build it from scratch. And how we had to put a cove on it and assemble it from paper put together by a string and glued to a cardboard as our book. The piñata we started it off by inflating a balloon and applying strips of wet glue paper all over it till it was completely covered. We repeated these steps 3 times so we get an even coat of layers and it would be flat so we could of decorate it. We would let the balloons dry in a rack and then we applied paint and piñata decorating paper all over it. Mines had a Mexico theme to it according to the Mexican colors of the flag. My composition book varied from ideas/Hwk/Warm ups I think that this was a big project because I had to record all of my ideas in my head in paper and then I had to put them into play meaning that I could sculpt them draw them in art class.
The similarities that all of these projects had in common were that they all involved hands on in creating something and bringing it to life. What I trying to say is that you draw them on paper then you get all of the props to make it. They all start from paper and pencil and end up in a thing of beauty. A masterpiece like Obama would say.
The differences that all this projects had were the amount of time that they required to develop them. For example they all required different materials to make them. The piñata required balloon and glued paper while book binding involved cardboard needle and string. The composition book is totally different from anything you’ll make in art because that your world you can get a pencil and practically draw anything that will come to your mind due to the fact that you fell like drawing.
Overall art class was a great experience for me because I had gotten the opportunity to create all sorts of things. They all ranged from a mini project (collage for example) to a big one (the piñata). Well I don’t have anything else to say except that art was a good journey for me and I had a great time.
The project that I choose that I taught it was fun and I really like is the moisec, the piñata, and the distortion grid drawing. The moisec was a picture that we chose and painted it and when we finish with that we got a piece of cardboard and make a sketch of the picture, and got little pieces of construction paper and cut it to little pieces and glue them to the outline. The piñata was to get a balloon or a cardboard and make strips of paper, get glue and water mix together and put the strips of paper to get it to stick to the surface. The distortion grid drawing was a picture we chose from a magazine drew a grid over it and labels it, later we got another sheet of paper and did another grid and drew it again but crazy. Well I say that pretty much all art must have a little comparison to another or maybe not, such as the project I chose only the moisec and the distortion grid drawing are alike. Well the only project I chose that didn’t have a similarity is the piñata and well the reason that it is cause the piñata does not have a grid, so the distortion grid drawing and the moisec are alike cause they both used a grid, well not a grid but if u look at the moisec closely it look like a grid but wild grid. Know of the thing that they all have in common is that in the three projects we chose we got a picture and copied it to make art. Another similarity about the piñata and the moisec is that they both had a surface that we can touch and it not plain. Another similarity is that in the three projects I chose we used paper, in the piñata we used strips of paper, in the grid drawing we used white paper and in the moisec we used construction paper. Differences that the entire three project have is that the moisec and he grid are not different is that the moisec it has a surface when you finish and touch it, while the distortion grid drawing doesn’t not have a surface it plain. Another difference is that in the piñata it was a 3 dimensional sculpture we did while the moise and the grid drawing was art we did without pencil or on paper/cardboard. Another difference that the projects had is that the piñata I did I used paint to get color to it, while the moisec we used color construction paper to add the color to it, and well in the grid we didn’t used color only the pencil to add shade, tint. Well this year art I actually learned a lot, not such as in middle school I had art class but it wasn’t that fun as this year, this year a learned the perspective view and some vocabulary words I didn’t really knew. Last year art was like this one cause we didn’t do project like what I did here and this project were fun and interesting to me such as the three project I decided where the best for me. And well maybe I also like art more cause I like drawing stuff when I’m bored or got nothing to do and I learned knew was to shade, tint and many other stuff I didn’t knew that it was in art.
