this is another idea i got off of Pinterest. ive made another one to go with it, but havent decided what color to paint it yet. i took a canvas and used Elmer's glue to glue the design then let it fully dry and painted over it. i thought the idea was really cool and unique. the glue is a great way to add texture.

chick

i got this off of Pinterst. i thought it looked super cute, so i attempted it and was pleased with how it turned out. i used a mix of watercolors and watercolor pencils.

this is a very simple piece. this is important for all to keep in mind when having a tough time. i will hang this up in my room as decoration.

crayon flowers

i created this project with crayons and tissue paper. i hot glued green crayons to the top of the canvas then took a hair dryer the melt them. once the drips were to the length i wanted, i turned the canvas up side down and glued tissue paper clumps to look like flowers. i really like the way it turned out.

SawBlade

My second art project for the first quarter i chose to do a painted saw blade. so i used the saw blade as my canvas. i got this idea from my aunt, she does many crafts! i went with the black and red theme to match my bed room. i thought this idea was different and unique from what we see everyday in class.

Army Strong

1st project, 1st quarter. i did a camo canvas painting.

ART qt. 1

The elements of art are form, lines, shape, color, texture, space, and value. I think form is mostly used for structural pieces of art, such as a structure or a three- dimensional creation. A line is sometimes how you create the piece, and what it will look like, practically marks forming a bigger picture. There are all different types of shapes, shapes are used to define the figure your making, or drawing. Color is what adds personality to a picture. Texture is more of a three dimensional element. It can add literally texture to a picture, such as actual sand on a picture of a beach. Space is how you decide to put things on your creation. I have to make sure each word is "spaced" properly and that every letter in each word somewhat touches. Value, one of my favorite elements. Value is how light and dark certain parts of your creation is, its pretty much putting shadows into your picture.

The principles of design are emphasis, balance, harmony, variety, movement, rhythm, proportion and unity. Emphasis is to catch a viewers attention about something in your picture. Balance is pretty much making sure your picture is even. Harmony is using one single element in you piece of art, such as value, throughout your whole picture you want to emphasis shading the shadows. Variety is giving your eye many things to look at. Using different shapes, and sized can help you achieve this. Movement adds excitement to your creation, making your viewers eyes work. Rhythm is the opposite of variety, say you want a picture of something consisting of lots of circles, that would show repetitive movement. Proportion is making sure everything in your picture makes sense. Unity is practically making sure your creation is looks finished when completed, looks as a whole.
