I have learned many "arting" techniques this semester that have helped me become a better artist such as burnishing which has helped me on two of my projects and water color paint has been another skill that I have learned to use in my artwork. At the beginning of the semester I was not familiar with very many at vocab terms but now I have much more knowledge about art styles and how I can use it in my artwork, My style project is going to be a remake of Andy Warhol's famous Marilyn Monroe picture. I am going to do a classmates face and use photo shop to make different colors, hopefully it turns out well and I learn even more with this project.

I decided to do my space project by drawing a meteor with a space background. It was challenging because I used chalk to color the picture, the hardest part was coloring the flame and keep all of the colors from mixing, but I had experience using chalk during the warm ups you have taught. The chalk was very messy and I had to restart at one point. But the final product I was very happy with and am glad I decided to challenge myself with the chalk. Another artistic technique was using my creativity,when drawing the meteor I drew it with graphite pencils and made areas darker to others to make it seem like there was a shadow, I learned this when I learned to draw spheres with colored pencils and it really helped me for this project. I have learned a lot since my last two projects and am very excited to improve more.

My artwork is of a hand forest, what I did was I painted my hand black and made a handprint on the paper
then added branches to make a tree, I repeated this process 3 times to make a hand forest. I used paint for this project which was a risk because I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but the paint gave the artwork a lot of contrast. I looked on pintrest for this project and saw a lot of similar ideas but made it my own by repeating the trees instead of just doing one tree. I think the final project turned out well but when I evaluated my work I realized I should of made the trees different colors for autumn.
