In this unit, we went over skills such as: clay, painting, drawing, and printmaking. It was sort of like a
-refresher/introductory/ make sure you don't clog the sinks with paint- type of unit which was a helpful way to start the class. Most of the things we went over I had heard of before, except for a few different techniques and printmaking as a whole. I really enjoyed creating my shirt using the printmaking, especially since I've never seen the process before (although it was a little tedious since the screen printing material refused to dry.) My favorite project has been the painting, since that is one of my favorite medium. I chose acrylic since I like the way it applies to the canvas much more than watercolor. I'm in the process of trying to be realistic with my painting, and realizing that there has to be many compromises in order to fit my style of painting and the little experience I have with it. (I also learned painting clouds is one of my favorite-but-most-difficult-thing-ever objects to paint.) Clouds may kill me. I also loved the drawing, since it's my second/tie with first place medium to use. I wasn't really sure how to properly use the different levels of graphite pencils, so that was helpful to learn. Realistic drawings are very difficult, but it's something I'd like to work on. Below you'll see examples of a clay tile (of a flower), printed shirt (of cats), and a realistic drawing (of my Buddha necklace.) The painting, which is acrylic on canvas, is still undergoing work, but by the end of that project I will hopefully have a landscape painting of one of my favorite spots in Germany.
