1. What where some of your design solutions to the
theme Scientific?
For the
theme Scientific I started thinking about science and how it came to be. I
thought back to Benjamin Franklin and the light bulb, and then I thought about
Albert Einstein and how I could incorporate him. I decided to draw
his face with a light bulb, showing multiple scientific ideas.
2. How beneficial were the mini lessons in the success of your
project. If they were not beneficial please explain as well.
The mini lessons
before our projects were very beneficial. They introduced new techniques to
using the mediums, pencil, pen, and charcoal. It also helped for us to
become more comfortable with them, and make it easier for us to use these
mediums.
3. How did you show contrast in your work?
I showed
contrast in my work but using stippling. There is contrast between
Einstein's face and his coat. His coat is really dark, and the rest of the
picture is lighter.
4. What medium did you decide to
use? Why did you choose this medium over the others?
To do my project, I chose to use
pen and ink. I feel more controlled when I use pen and ink. When I
use pencil or charcoal, I feel like I smear it everywhere.
To create
my work, I used stippling.
To created contrast I used a lot of dots in the darker
areas, compared to little dots in the lighter areas.
6. We
encourage risk taking in art. Risk taking can be as simple as trying a new
technique or learning about a new medium to as complex as trying something
totally new. Did you take any risks with this project? Explain.
I took a risk by drawing a person. Drawing faces is not always the
easiest, but I chose to do this to make things more challenging.
7. Discuss
your overall experience with this project.
I have never use stippling to create a project so I really
enjoyed that, as well as drawing a human face. Over all I have really enjoyed
working on this project.
