For this last journal i used newsprint  for the background. We brainstormed a lot and decided that Pabst's work I matched the black and white of the newspapers

Pabst work that I put on this journal is all 3 Dimensional, which was what I wanted to learn more about at the beginning of the year.

I feel that I have learned so much about 3 D artwork.

Born in Russia but moved to Germany at age 15. He spent most of his time in the world of art. He drew a portrait of a friend and many people asked him to draw them too. Pabst's career kicked off and he started drawing a lot of portraits for money. (called commissioned work) Admitted that he doodled a lot in school and painted in his books while in class. He liked to draw things he saw out.

For this Identity project I did a self portrait. First, I had someone take my picture. After the picture was printed I had to decide how I could show more than what  I look like physically.

Mrs. Hein suggested in an assignment that we find adjectives that I think descibed me. Then, I used the same list and brought it home. I had my parents circle words that they  thought descibed me. I also had my sisters do this.

Then I gathered all of the words as 35 of the words were the same. Some of the words are around myself portrait in the form of a concrek poem. Other words are around the framed matting.

From this assignment  I learned that not only is it difficult  to draw myself- I also learned that my family sees me, personally, in many of the same ways that I do.

​Me getting interviewed for newspaper.

 Underwood High School had a music concert . I got interviewed for the Underwood News Paper.  I also brought  a guest book for people to sign. . I am not sure how many people signed it, but  I got a lot of comments on my artwork like  "Awesome" , "Amazing" and "Wow" .

A list was printed out of words to choose from. Mom and Dad marked things that sounded more like me than what my sisters marked. Both my parents and sisters got 35 of the same words that I put for myself.
​This was a fun project and I would like to do this with other family members.

When I started Art 3  I felt nervous. First Because I was alone in my ITV  room. Second Because I didn't know anyone. By the Third or fourth day I started to feel comfortable because I knew everyone names. I also received a note from a student in Flasher who said they  really liked something I had drawn. 

I have included workin progress and final copies of a goose drawing. I like drawing animals and I like using  chalk and oil pastels.

The eyeball picture was a study on repetition. I think drawing eyes is very challenging and  different . 

One of a assignment was to set up a display and draw it. I chose my own art materials. The picture is cool and I'll  display my sketch book at the Art show on Thursday. 

The triadic assignment was fun. I chose the Dallas Cowboys logo as it is my favorite football team. I really  like how the triadic rules added red to the logo. The red in the logo  made things '' pop'' out.

​The  limitation project was my favorite. After watching a video about a man, Phil Hansen, who wanted to be an artist. He developed shakiness in his hand and thought he would never be a artist. Because he kept trying different ideas he realized he could keep keep creating art. The assignment was to find a limitation and still create piece of art work I am left handed so I drew the ocean picture with my right hand using a pencil first then adding nail polish. I'm very proud of this piece of artwork.

I chose to  put the life cycle in the middle instead of  the side.

Stage 1-Butterflies start with an egg laid on a leaf.
Stage 2-The next stage is the larva which is like a little bumpy worm.
Stage 3-Caterpillar- they are small at first and get bigger each day as they eat. They have spike looking things on their body. 
Stage 4- Chrysalis- caterpillars hang upside down to make a '' J '' shape. In a few hours they make a chrysalis so they  can change into  butterflies.
Stage 5- Butterfly- After they come out of their chrysalis they are wet. They have to flutter their wings to dry them, before they can fly. They  need sugar water and fruit like oranges to eat, along with flowers for nectar.
