Semester 1
This semester I've had a lot of fun because art is one of my favorite classes. We have done a lot of different project, different than last year because we did a lot of one and two point perspective stuff. This year we have done different activities which makes the class more fun. One of my favorite pieces of art was the 4 steps to abstraction because I think it was one of my best pieces of art from last year and this year. My other favorite was the dictionary one because that is my second favorite. Painting is my favorite thing to do in art, but this semester I have not done a lot of it because I've had a lot of solid colors to paint.
This semester I have learned about the three point perspective. This perspective shows that there is a box that is folding on top of another box. The third dot is like way down further and that is where you line up the main line of the bottom box and the the top boxes have to line up to that line as well. Some of this project was very difficult because it wouldn't look right if you didn't line it up right. The India ink and trying to get the lightest to the darkest was hard because you couldn't really tell how light it was because all of them were just dark black.
Another thing I learned is how to make the different heights of the sheet. I didn't really know how to show that the sheet was popping out instead of it being a flat sheet. I had to make sure that the angles were right, then I had to make it pop by connecting the lines together. If it didn't look right I would try again. The stuff that popped out the most had to look bigger and the stuff behind that had to be a little smaller.. Shading the sheet wasn't that hard beside I think that I could've done a little more than I did.
This semester I have improved on my blending in the colors with white. Last year I didn't really do it a lot but this year I think that I did really did a good job because it doesn't look like I have 4 different colors because they are all blended in. Another thing I did improve on is coloring with pastels because I didn't really use them at all before this time but using all the dark colors was a good idea because it really does look like a dark clouds. I had to push on them hard but I used my finger to blend it in even more and made t look better. The last thing I really improved on from last year is the upside down man and drawing upside down.
This next semester I am looking forward to playing with clay and getting to make something. Clay is my other favorite thing to do in this class. I am also looking forward to making myself a better artist by working hard on all the projects coming ahead. I am hoping that we do more painting by the end of the year.

Semester 2
Art is one of my favorite classes to go to during the day. In the past two years I have improved on my art ability tremendously and I am very proud of myself. It might take time to get the drawing you wanted it to be by erasing and erasing but eventually you'll get it. I always look forward to doing clay in art and different painting projects like the ceiling tile. I enjoy painting the banner as well because knowing me I would want it to be perfect because it is going to be getting hung up around town. Forth hour art can get a little rowdy but I had fun this year.
One thing that I thought art has taught me this year is that it can improve on your imagination. In art one I was clueless on what to draw every time we had a free draw or something. This year throughout the year I have been popping ideas out of my head and not thinking throughout the whole hour on what to draw. I think I have got more creative with my drawing this year and hope to get even better. Art has also taught me to be very patient with what I do and to take my time. In art you have to take your time to make your art project to look good and sharp.
Art has also taught me that there is no wrong way to do art. Its okay is you make a mistake because its just a new piece of art that you're making. I messed up a lot this year and complained about it but I worked around it and made my project still look good. There's no right or wrong project.
One thing I really improved on during the whole year is my painting skills. From the beginning of art 1 to the end of art 2 i went along ways with it. I now have sharper edges and I go over it a lot so it doesn't look like some of my projects in art 1, it's just one solid color. The ceiling tile and the flounder painting were the best solid colors and the blending in on the ceiling tile looks really good.
This year, I thought there was a lot of fun projects that we did but my most favorite one was the ceiling tile because I've always wanted to do one of them and art 2 I got the opportunity to do it. I have gone along ways from art 1 to art 2 and I am proud of myself. I am going to miss art next year.
