This is my artwork at the beginning of the year. I have improved a lot since then using techniques such as shading and better shaping.

Q1 had many fun projects that I enjoyed and I could definitely see my artwork getting better and me improving in art. I am very excited to see where Q2 goes and my development of art.

What I learned and practiced about line weight, contour, cross contour, and observational drawings were that weight on lines really do help to determine distance, and I never really thought about that.

I learned, during this video, that you can use your body motion to make art. In class, we scribbled on paper, then we went outside with chalk and did body motions to make an artwork like Heather Hansen.What I did was I moved in circular movements around my body with the chalk. What I learned about artistic thinking was that art can be anything, just something creative that comes to your mind.

We learned that life still has many objects surrounded together to make a picture. Techniques for still life are line weight, and not putting the main object in the middle of the picture. The item I decided to bring was a rosary because a rosary helps me to pray and grow closer to my faith. My planning was focused on line weight and shading of the objects.

I drew a soccer ball on a field with a soccer net and a scoreboard in the background. I thought that it turned out well and I tried my hardest on it. I used the line weight to show that the ball was closer than the other objects in the piece. This was the first major project in art 1, my critiques showed me that I needed to improve the hand and I could've added more objects to the piece.

My object was a rosary because it helps me to pray and grow closer to God and blossom in my faith. I learned that I should really detail the surroundings of the main object and add line weight. Also, I shouldn't put my object in the center of the paper.
