Print

I am actually very happy with my artwork. I did not think I would do very good with the toad but it ended up very nice in my opinion. The background blended very well with the the toad itself. I added patterns to the toad to make it more interesting. It added more texture to the print. I used the negative space to outline the toad. The positive space takes up the majority of the print. I like the white paint on the black paper. I tried to keep the print very neat. I believe I accomplished that very well. I took my time when printing the lino-cut onto the paper. This created an even and more solid color print. I did not achieve depth too great but I was not thinking that completely through before I started the project. I was thinking more about my main drawing than background. I had an obstacle by making the background late but there was no obstacles other than that. I thought this project was fun and would not mind doing something like it again.

Interactive Chalk Mural

This is the chalk mural my group and I created. We thought it turned out good for how far behind we started. We also had multiple struggles to start out including rain washing away part of our original drawing. Our group worked together well and split the amount of drawing evenly. We also switched jobs everyday so we didn't have to do draw the same part of the drawing. I thought our group worked together well overall. It was important that we collaborated well because this project took up lots of time and was difficult. Farrell, our team leader, picked a good team that was focused most of the time. We finished the last two days strong and had a good ending result. I think our project was successfull for the most part. We started off slow because we didn't exactly know what we were doing at the beginning. The more and more the project came along we just started to make it our own and finally it was coming along. I'm proud of our team and the way we finished the project. One thing that made this project was so cool was that we could involve the whole school. It was an interactive assignment that let others "act" out our art.
