Group Response

1. I thought Angelica, Jovan and I as a group diverse because we're all a different race. I notice there's a different kind of style inside and out of us that we show. Just by how we act towards people and what we bring out, there's different personalities and perspective that we have.
2. I thought being around the same age, we can relate to each other. We may notice a similarity about our surroundings. And starting to be adults we relate to our troubles as teens and communication between other adults.
3. I think some unique strengths I can bring out to the group is I can get along with people easily. I agree most of the time what each person want to do.
4. The challenges I may bring is I may not be much of a leader. I'm usually the one the follows up with the work. I'm probably too quiet...

Blog Post #6: Reflection: Tools and Technique

It took me almost 2 drafts to make a final art piece of what my art project is going to be and how it's going to look like. I first began sketching using a pencil and started drawing a girl. I took some time to design what her clothes might look like inspired from the creation myth. I made the eyes first, face, body and hair. I started coloring using color pencil and made the colors and shadows blend to her skin as much as possible. I used some black behind her bangs, her neck and legs. I planned to make it as 3-D as possible. I colored her skin and tried to blend it with the shadows on her skin. I used pressure onto the color pencil to make the color light or dark on her dress and hair. Then I outlined the girl using blank ink pen. I started drawing the background, the trees and the grass. Everything has to be balanced with making it 3-D between the girl, the trees and the rest of the background with the clouds and the grass. It's rather hard because there has to be light in a certain direction, the shadow the girl is standing on and the trees to making it look good as possible because it's behind the girl and there should be some darker side in the tree. I used paper to blend the clouds and I just scrubbed in onto the picture. I also had a colorless blending color pencil to touch it a little bit and blend.
