self assesment 3rd marking period

I deserve a bad grade because I got really lazy this marking period. I had a hard time finding and sticking to project proposals. I did not produce very many peices, and the media I used lacked diversity. The first couple things I made were pretty small in size. I think I had some cool ideas, but I didn't follow through well on most of them. Since I switched from double to single period this semester, I lost time thinking about what to do, and I didn't work fast enough to make up the difference.

Bright colors
Textures
Simple
Still lives
Interesting cropping

Some of the things I noticed about Erin’s work was the bold color and the simplicity. She tended to focus on still lives, like fruit. I really liked her papaya paintings. Through her use of oil paint she got an amazing texture for the seeds of the papaya. I also liked how she kept it relatively simple. The color drew your attention to the object and to the background equally and kept it interesting the whole time. Overall I liked her work. I also liked her painting of a cow skull. It was plain, the skull was in the middle of the canvas. But the skull was bold and nicely textured and it was well done. I enjoyed looking at her work. After looking at many pieces, I got a little bored of their repetitive nature. They were all simple and colorful and none of them has much action in them. I liked her still lives but I wish there had been more diversity in her work.

Portfolio Project Proposals

(3rd marking period)

(first proposal)
This marking period I will be doing short-term prompts. Most of them will be on a weekly basis. Currently I will be doing a series of investigations regarding the character development of my original characters. I’m starting out with Chinese Landlord (Ranrord). Each series will consist of three to four pieces, each with extensive notes on personalities, idiosyncrasies, etc. These will probably be on 8x11 paper, using pencil, pen, marker, colored pencil. I think I’ll stay more focused with short deadlines, and it should lead to more artwork.

(3rd marking period, 2nd proposal)
I want to make a series of sneaker designs. Since I like basketball shoes, I'm really excited to do these because I have such a passion for cool sneakers. All of these pieces will be pencil and pen drawings with notes on materials used. Should only be about a week or two long for this proposal.

(3rd marking period, 3rd proposal)
Other the next few weeks, I propose to draw a series of rappers that are part animal. For example, the first one is a mix between a human and a donkey. They will all be part human and part something else. I will use paint, colored pencil, marker, and pen for these.
