9th grade work

clay head!!

Picture
  This project was called "clay head". In class art I studied about facial proportions, it was a cool class because before this project I couldn’t draw or do a human head. First we draw in a white paper a human face and our faces to have an idea of how the facial proportions are used. It was very hard because to draw a perfect face or head you need the exactly measure; each part of the face (ears, eyes, eyebrow, hair, mouth and nose) has their position. I f you do a bad measurement on the face everything goes wrong. For the clay head we did exactly the same that we did in white paper but in 3D. The clay head was a hard project but very cool, because we use clay, paintings and imagination. You were able to create your own head, was very nice.
    The clay head show me that any person can make a good job and that it does not matter if they had art experiences. Any person can do a clay head and color. Also the clay head show me that each person has different styles and tastes. Each person of my class did a different person. It was a very interesting project because we learned that in the world they are different persons and that we should respect each other. It was a cool project that show us that we can do everything if we put effort in our work and that we should respect others styles and tastes.  


Abstract Drawing!

This drawing is different and fun project. We sis this drawing for our semestral exam and it was unique and interesting too. This project was about ding a abstract drawing. We had the directions of how to make a drawing look abstract. First, we did many lines in many forms. We did a normal line connecting edges, a straight line in the middle, a lightning line. Also we did circles and we did like 3 or 4 of different shapes. I did a heart in the right corner, a diamond in the left a star. I t was very interesting because many people were not able to find my hidden shapes. Then we include color to each shape, different color in each space and no white shape should be left. It was a fun and long drawing.
    This long project was awesome. I learned that different persons have different points of view and different styles. You can compare drawings of different persons and you can notice different styles. With this project I learned how colors are very important in some drawing, because then the drawing would be boring without sense. Also, they are many ways to express feelings, not only with words but also with drawings. For me the abstract drawing represent feeling deeply, that’s why with this drawing I learned interesting facts.


Symbolic map

Picture
        This project named "the symbolic map" was a very interesting project. This project consists in connecting your life with a symbolic drawing. For this project we learn about Symbolism. Symbolism is very important in art; every detail in a picture or drawing has it significance. Well, for this map we needed at least 10 symbolic experiences, persons or object in our lives. Then, we chose a drawing of natural resources that describes the experience, person or object. We invented a compass rose and a key describing each symbolic drawing. For example in my map "Menrom" the hearts on the lower part means family. For me family is very important, so I identify family with hearts. Menrom land has many symbolic things.
     This project was really nice and was a good experience. During this project I remembered many experiences of my life, and it was really funny. I learned many thing about symbolism. Symbolism is very important in art and by creating this map y recognized how art can influence in people. I use my creativity to express my feelings and experiences in a symbolic form.  It was a fun project, I enjoy it a lot. But nothing in this project was easy because, paintings and searching a way to describe parts of your life was not easy, but then you realized that with art you can communicate many interesting things
