Symbolic Map

Picture
    This project represented an island that had things of ourselves. Some examples are that we can see a roller coaster at the bottom because i really like them and I think that represents me because I am an active person that really like this kind of games. I also included a basketball court because I am a person that likes sports and I really enjoy to play basketball with my friends, that is why I made it. This is fill with symbols of my life and if you know me it would be easy to identify why I choose them.
    While making this project, I had some difficulties but there where also some easy parts. A tricky part was painting with water paints the small details but I used a technique called "watercolor pencil" that consisted in painting with a special type of color the detail and going with a small brush over it and it really worked. A easy part was to colot the ocean because it was very big and you could use big paint brushes wich really made it easier.

Clay Head

    The clay head was one of the projects I enjoyed the most this year. I made a head that is not so big, with green eyes  and brown hair. First I had to the the eyes by making a hole and then adding eye. After that I had to add the eyelids. Then I had to make the mouth by making very small worms. Then the nose and the ears and at the end the hair. 
     We had to make a face, but sculpting one is much harder than drawing one. The part that I founded the most difficult was making the 2nd eye. It was difficult because I couldnot making it the same size as the first or it just was not on the correct place. Another difficult part was getting the exact "skin color" but finaly after mixing a lot of colors I did it.

Different Values

Picture
    Of all the year, I think this is the project I most enjoy doing it. On this project, we had to do a lot of black lines and then fill all of the white spaces of a different color, of a different type of value than eachother like pointilism, cross hatching or gradiationally or with a different layout. It was a very fun project and I would enjoy doing it again.
    Eventhough the idications were easy I found only one difficulty doing this project. The difficulty I found was that sometimes you used the same color to many times and then you saw the project and it had on spaces like a lot of "orange" so you had to erase and do it again but other than that it was a simple project that i enjoyed doing.
