Mid- term Reflection

I think that at the half way point in my intermediate drawing and painting term my work has developed in some areas. In terms of what I have made I don't think that anything has changed drastically, because of the fact that I take a long amount of time on my work I feel that when completed the quality of my end product will not change. In terms of process I think that I have grown greatly; throughout last year I rarely used my sketchbook to brainstorm or sketch out ideas but this year have really utilized my sketchbook during project planning. I have also begun to utilize people's feedback when doing my project and incorporated their ideas in my art. My blogging hasn't been up to date because of technical problems but I feel that I use my blog as much as I did last year. In terms of engagement I believe that I am engaged most of the times except for during work time when I tend to get distracted.

What if we used up all of our natural resources to thepoint where there are none left and we had to abandon our planet?

Distance

What if.....? Idea and Feedback

The concept behind my What if ......? project was to try and replicate a scene from the movie I am Legend so that I could convey the message of what if we used up our resources to the point that there was none left and we had to abandon our planet? The feedback that I got from my group was that it was a good idea and that if I had any trouble drawing all of the cars that I should incorporate some kind of a collage but I didn't do that because it was a pencil drawing.

Text as a Visual Medium

The concept behind my text project was to try and convey the idea of distance from nature through my art and I planned on using some of the text techniques that we were shown in class such as proportion and shading. The feedback that I got from my group was that I should continue with that idea because the idea that I planned on using prior to my new idea didn't send the message I was trying to send.
