two into one project


1.) Artists create original art 
I used my own unique ideas by looking at the artist Magritte and got some ideas from him. At first I was doing a project based from a tatoo, feather breaking off into birds. I tried to draw that but it was hard and I gave up. So without a project I used some ideas from the artist. In his project he had a bird and on the inside was a sky with clouds and the background was a scene from the beach at night. I did a bird in the sky but instead of a beach I did a sunset in the background. 

2.) Artist collaborate
throughout this project I was asking my peers for their help about the project. When I thought I was done, they told me to do more. When I thought I was done it wasn't shaded in dark enough and just didn't look complete. My peers told me to shade darker. After I shaded they I looked at the project and noticed the bird wasn't shaded dark enough. I didn't want to do the bird so dark so I didn't know how to color it in. Then my teacher told me it was be a good idea to shade dark from light in the bird. 

3.) Artist take risks 
I tried tried something different durring this project. I had the idea of the feather into birds but then realized late in the process it was to hard. I was stuck and insure of what I was going to do. I looked on the internet of artist and came across Margritte's art. I tried a new method with this project. For the sunset background I had to shade and blend colors together which I am not good at. When I thought I was done I took a step back and noticed I had to shade it all darker but knowing it would be a challenge. I'm not so comfortable with blending colors together but in the end it looked good. 


Zentangle

1.) Artists create original art.
•The way I used my own unique ideas in my work was that I got a basic idea of how I wanted my zentangle to look, and I expanded it and made it my own with the colors, patterns, & shapes.
•I didn't use a specific source for my inspiration, but I wanted to do a flower. When I was doing the sketches for my project, I did just a pattern on the inside of the flower, and it looked plain so I made a background for it.
2.) Artists take risks
• I did try something I wasn't too sure about during this project. I was debating on wether or not I should put in a background, so I chose to. I was very hesitant about doing it at first, but then I ended up really liking how it turned out.
• I did use a new material during this project. I used a different media. I have done a drawing similar to a zentangle but I usually use pencil & during this one I used a sharpie.
3.) Artists reflect. 
• I analyzed this project when I was finishing up and looked at my project and realized that it looked plain so I added in the background and I was really happy with the output of the project.
