The part that showed improvement the most with this packet would definitely be drawing the same pattern over and over to make a cool design. I think the part that I struggled with the most was getting the right design with all the lines I had to draw, because some of them played with my eye and made me mess up. The easiest part would have had to be going over the lines in color. This skill will help me become a better artist because it helps me understand patterns more and how they can become a great piece of artwork.
So far the colors are going very well to show off the meaning behind my book. I would say using a paint brush leaves streaks so I'm going to try another method to apply the paint. I've run into a few problems like not getting the right tone of color I wanted and I simply fixed this by saving the original paint I used and re using it later. I'm sticking with my plan and theme of "the journey of reaching your goals" because I know now what I want to do with it and how far I'm willing to go.
So far what's going well in my piece would have to be the theme I chose "The journey of reaching your goals". Thinking about how to make that theme into various pages is what I would say isn't really working. I've run into a few problems and that's deciding what to use to carve out the design for my front book cover. I'm going to solve this by using an exacto knife and making various cuts. Originally I wanted this book to be about football, but I'm going away from football always being my main point and I want to experiment and try different things and see what other deep meanings my artworks can represent without everything being about one thing I like.
I grew quite a bit from creating this piece, because I've never really worked with glossing paper and I think I've gotten really good at it since I made so many. If I could start again I would chosen to just stuck the plays in as paper because I wasted way too much time on glossing them. I think I met my own goals for the piece because I like how it turned out. The biggest risk I took was probably choosing what to do with the cut out of the plays. Glossing them or not would have changed the outcome. I mood and meaning my piece is trying to get at was a success because all the colors went together and I had a good choice of colors.
Based on my feedback the main thing rachel had against my piece was that the cut out plays were too sloppy just because a couple of them overlapped. That was the point, it's a collage it's not supposed to be perfectly square and neat, because that would take away from the meaning of my collage. She also said that the paper on my play tiles wasn't rubbed off completely. I would agree with that, but that's the whole reason I took so long on my project and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be done at this point if I would have actually tried to rub them off completely. I think what's successful about my piece is the meaning and mood behind my artwork. The background and writing on the football help reflect off it.
