B) I really hated how the colors started blending with each other, I was trying to work in layers and the fresh watercolor started to sort of reactivate the already dry colors.
C) If I had to redo this project, I would probably use colored pencils as the media to color this artwork since watercolor made the process of creating this pretty difficult.]]> 2022-10-04 14:45:17 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325857200 https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325863744 a. Something I liked about my final art piece is the contrast between light and dark. 
b. Something I wish turned out differently is the details in the tattoos and resume. I wish they held more then what is displayed. 
c. If I were to redo my piece, I would have used a better black pen that didn't smudge and spent more time on detail. ]]> 2022-10-04 14:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325863744 https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325866725 A. Something I like about my project is the skin tone of the center character. I usually would struggle with getting the correct skin tone I want. 
B. I absolutely hated the texture of this piece. I used brush pens for the first time and I honestly did not know what I was doing so I tried my best to fix it with colored pencils, which I am proud of because it doesn't look as bad as it was.
C. If I could do this project over again I would definitely practice more with the brush pens to reduce the bleeding of some colors. ]]> 2022-10-04 14:49:56 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325866725 aperd010 https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325873088 a. I did enjoy tying and braiding the yarn.
b. I wish the hands would have turned out differently, they don't look as imposing as I had intended. They faded into the background which I guess could support it but I'm not entirely sure I like it.
c. If I could do it again I would definitely put more emphasis on the hands. As well as getting the yarn to be more in a spiderweb pattern as opposed to being so messy.]]> 2022-10-04 14:53:03 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325873088 https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325875045 1. Something I like is the textures on the buildings.
2. I kinda wish I spent a little more time on the line art and
3. If I had to redo my piece, I would try to manage my time better.]]> 2022-10-04 14:53:55 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325875045 https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325876009 a.) What I like about my artwork is the exaggerated dripping "blood " from the eyes. b.) I wish the chest area that is covered in "blood" was more organized and more defined so I could have incorporated a caller bone etc. c.) If I could restart I would make a frame or actually go buy one and re-customize it instead contemplating my options and procrastinating, and I would have rethought over how to pain the chest area instead of just sticking and painting.]]> 2022-10-04 14:54:23 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325876009 https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325877737 a. I love that I was able to capture emotion in the woman's face using just slight shadows. I like the difference in the proportion of not only the little but also the hands and the dollar bills; it gives it importance and weight where it needs to.
b. At the beginning, I would've liked to represent the fact that she was an immigrant in America another way more than just a flag in people's faces, but I figured it also worked this way.
c. I would do this on a canvas maybe.]]> 2022-10-04 14:55:15 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325877737 okean001 https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325879113 1) Something I really like about my project is how the FINNING with the blood turned out. It helped truly get the message across while keeping true to the original idea of the poster of JAWS.
2) Something I wish turned out differently is the person. Originally, I had envisioned the person to be cartoonish/political cartoon type of look. When it came to actually trying to make it look like that while also keeping with the torn paper (in order to keep the meaning), it just didn't work out the way I wanted.
3) If I could do over this project from the ground up, I would look into actually using torn pieces of cartoons from newspapers in order to bring depth and give the original look I wanted. ]]> 2022-10-04 14:55:57 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325879113 asilv033 https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325883529 A) I like that there is blood and that I used chalkboard paint so I am able to change the background whenever I want.
b)I wish the textures in the background could have turned out differently because they are all grainy in picture form. 
c) What I would do differently is better planning on the color scheme. After coloring I realized there was too much red but I still wanted to express a girly mood so next time i will change the dress to yellow, orange, or light blue so I can still symbolize youth and purity. ]]> 2022-10-04 14:58:00 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325883529 rhaml001 https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325895495 1. Something I liked about my project was that I got to use uncommon objects such as drywall and a loofa.
2. I wish that I had planned more for the net design.
3. If I could do this project over again, I would change the depth of the turtle with shading. ]]> 2022-10-04 15:04:07 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325895495 lvele005 https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325899405 1. Something I like about my project is the muted color scheme, the cloudy sky and the trees on the side. 
2. I wish that the building itself would've come out differently, I was attempting to add depth and I feel that it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to.
3. I would change the way the building looks, add some more depth, and fix some lines that are a bit crooked. ]]> 2022-10-04 15:06:03 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325899405 aguev012 https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325901575 a. Something I liked about my projects was the thought bubbles and the eyes even though I could have added more details. 
b. Something I wish I did differently was adding shading to the "bed" and back to the first part, I wish I added more details to the eyes. 
c. If I could do this project over again, I would have perfected/worked on the face more. ]]> 2022-10-04 15:07:11 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325901575 https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325921485 a. Something I like about my artwork is how the eyes came out with the gel pen and how they do not look too realistic. 
b. Something I wish turned out differently is a smaller center piece for my artwork.
c. If I could do this project differently I would try more art materials to add texture.]]> 2022-10-04 15:17:15 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2325921485 https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2327703473 1. I like the minimalistic cats I drew to show silhouettes.
2. I wish I could've better portrayed the message of animal abuse/veterinary practices from an animals perspective.
3. I would try perhaps a perspective drawing instead from inside the cage looking out.]]> 2022-10-05 14:31:49 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2327703473 hbois001 https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2328665792 1. Something I like about my artwork is the foldable, how you can close it and open it up, so its not just a flat piece of paper.
2. Something I wish I did differently is the watercolor, I don't like how fast water color dries, I wish I chose a different media, you have to move quickly or it will mess up the art.
3. If I could do this project over I would change the background and the media I used. ]]> 2022-10-06 03:32:34 UTC https://padlet.com/Ms_Casto/nmee3gr90txitnnf/wish/2328665792
