1. I enjoyed doing weaving a lot. I found it fun and a cool way to create art. My favorite weave was the orange and blue one where I experimented with different techniques to make the orange and blue look intertwined

2. I would keep the free of open studio time. I thought that it was very relaxing and fun. One thing that I would add is sculpting. I feel like using clay would be a very fun experience and would be new to work with 3-d.

3. I became even more comfortable with paint. I was pretty weak with using paint, but’ after using it more, I got better at it.m and mixing paint.

-I enjoyed making the drawing of the plants and the pumpkins. It was my favorite because I enjoyed drawing with the bamboo sticks

-I enjoyed working with pastels. I like the way that they can overlap with each other and create cool colors.

-I would keep the ink drawings, all the painting pieces, and would add a clay unit. They were the most fun and took a while so you were able to make it perfect.

-I would take away the photography unit because, we weren’t doing that much with art. Also we had very little time to work on it.

-I couldnt find the erasers. I asked summer where they were and she told me.

1. I enjoyed making the portraits the most because it was fun learning new techniques to help me draw.
2. I enjoyed working with paint the most. I enjoyed it the most because you can use different techniques to help create different looks in the art.
3. I would keep the pop up art day sewing thing. It was really fun to see a design come to life like a stuff animal.
4. I would take away the creative viewpoint to things. The way you can take something’s that don’t look like art and make them an art piece.
5. I needed to problem solve when I had my braids instead of my natural hair. It was difficult to draw the braids but i had to problem solve and come up with a different solution.

This is my favorite inktober and the theme is Scorch. I like it because ti shows fire at the bottom, but I really like the way the lines came together. I used ink and a bamboo pen.

I enjoyed making the fear drawing.  I liked it becuase I thought it was a cool thought of how I drew what I was most scared of.  I really liked working with ink but the picture or fear didn’t use ink.  I also liked pencil becuase it’s just an easy material to work with.  A challenge I had was shading.  At first with the hands I just thought I would ruin my project if I tired to shade and make shadows but after practicing alot it made my picture look better.  I used criss cross lines and different effects to make it look better and more realistic.  One thing I need to work on is really focusing on what I see so I can try to get the drawing to as close of the real thing I can.

- I enjoyed making inktobers and the hand drawing. I though using a bamboo pen and ink was very fun and cool. Also, I enjoyed making the hand drawings, because everyone's background was fun and unique.
- Besides the bamboo pen, I really liked to work with water color. I liked the way that it blended with different colors. Also, water color was easy to spread around
- I have ran into many challenges with my hand drawings. I would constantly make my hands and fingers to lumpy. To over come this obstacle, I really focused on my actually hand to make my drawn hand better. This technique allowed me to get better and overcome this obstacle.
- In art, I think I need to work on talking less with my friends. Other goals that I can improve on, are going out of my way to help people clean up.
- In the future, I think that it would be cool if we could do sculptures. It would fun to work with a 3D object. Also, I would want to draw objects in nature, such as a tree or wildlife.

What have you enjoyed making so far?  What is your favorite project and why?
I liked making the hands. They came out well and I liked using all the materials.  I also liked to use lots of colors.
What materials did you enjoy the most?
I enjoyed using the carcaol chalk pieces. They were fun to use because it was rich in its darkness if that makes sense.  Even though it got on my fingers I really liked using them.
What challenges have you run into?  Have you overcome them?  I faced many challenges one of them was drawing what I pictured in my head.  I have not overcome that because it is very hard.
What do you need to improve on?  Why are some goals?
I need to improve on shapes and how the are shaded to make them look like the shape I am aiming for.  For instance, making something round is something I am not good at and I would like to get better.
What would you like to work on?
I would like to work on making 3d shapes and objects.  Like I said before shading to make shapes is a struggle for me.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed making the hands and they were also my favorite project because we could do different patterns in the back and it looked really cool in the end.

I enjoyed working with oil pastels because they go on the paper really smoothly and it’s really satisfying.

I wasn’t sure how to focus more on what i was drawing than my drawing but i have improved on that.

I need to improve on detail and i want to get better at perspective.

I would like to do sculptures and paint.

# data[].attributes.body
What have you enjoyed making so far?
What was your favorite project and why?
-I really enjoyed drawing based on observation, especially the hand composition. I liked the hand composition because we had complete control over where we put our hands and what colors we used. Alao, I think that I became alot  better at drawing hands after this project.

What materials have you enjoyed working with? Why?
- I have enjoyed working with the ebony pencils. I like using them because I can expirememt with shading. I also enjoyed oil pastels because they give good texture and have vibrant colors.

What challenges have you run into? Have you overcome them at all and how?
- One problem that I have run into is making my drawings look 3-dimensional. I am working on utilizing shading to make objects look more lifelike and 3-D. I have overcome this challenge by practicing alot  more with ebony pencils.

What do you think you need to improve on? What are some goals for you to work on in art?
- I need to improve on using more materials in my drawings. I need to try to incorporate more than two materials in every piece.

What would you like to work on in the future?
- I would like to work on drawing faces and humans, because I feel like I am not great at drawing all of the features of the face yet. So, I would like to work on that in the future to become better at drawing faces

For this freedraw, we had to draw someone with fruit for hair. This is my favorite, because I really like the color of the background.

I enjoyed the hand project because I thought it was fun that I had to think of multiple different ways to represent my hands and decorate them.

I enjoyed working with the water colors because I love the way they look.

Even though the hand was my favorite project It was the hardest. I struggled with thinking of ideas for how to place my hands.

I need to focus more on little details and not just rushing through like I do.

I would like to work more with clay.

# data[].attributes.body
I have enjoyed making my tree drawing. I enjoyed making the tree because it made me think about myself more and the things about me. My favorite project was when we blind folded ourselves and drew. I like that project because we just drew for fun based on our other senses and not seeing. The materials I liked working with most is the paint. I liked the paint because it could mix with other colors and it was the quickest. Some challenges I have had is paying more attention to what I actually see and not what I think I see. Yes I have overcame that when drawing. What I think I need to improve on is using shading. Some goals for me in art is to become a good artist. What I would like to work on in the future is drawing texture and shading.

This is my favorite free draw. I used colored pencils. his piece is about my inner alter ego of being a basketball player.

I enjoyed making the hands because it really made you think of ways to represent yourself differently than you normally would.

I enjoyed working with the ink and the bamboo because it looked really cool on paper and I have never worked with bamboo.

I was having trouble thinking of ways to represent myself with hands but I just thought harder about it and was able to do it.

I think I need to focus on the little details more and I want to be able to draw a full animal by the end of this year.

I would like to work more with the ink and bamboo.

1. I liked making the plant drawings because I think drawing from observation makes it easier to make the drawing look good.
2. My favorite project was the automatic drawing because I didn’t have to worry about erasing and I just went with what I was doing.
3. I liked working with pencil the most because I think that it is the easiest to work with because you can fix your “mistakes” and go back and change things.
4. I would get frustrated with my drawings and paintings not looking how I wanted them to look. I still get frustrated but I think I’m getting g better.
5. I think I need to improve my paint skills and adding detail with darker colors. I don’t really like using acrylics because I find it harder to get the picture you want because the colors are so harsh.
6. I would like to work on more pencil drawings and drawing nature sceneries because that’s what I like to do the most.
