Reflection:
1. My process was not to helpful at all. Just because during my process I switched m design and then my letter and then my design again. Once I got to my final design I was fairly happy because I distinguished what parts of my design would be done first. For example I drew out my whole design in pencil first. Then I started doing certain parts of the project in color pencil. Second to last I colored the whole background sharpie and lastly I used the hardest materials which is pastel to color in the actual letter. I would say my process in the beginning was some what difficult and then eased out in the end.
2. I arrived to my concept as follows. I was sitting in my seat with two days to finish the project. I was going to create a snake and Ms. Li kept telling me in needed to be different and as I a staring at my paper with the S drawn already I took a minute and though about was I actually enjoyed because snakes really meant nothing to me. Right then the idea of swimming and water popped in to my head and I thought of a stream because of the letter S. I wanted the background to be blacks because streams are usually are usually hidden and I thought of grass and rocks again because of the forest and that is how I got to my idea.
3. The most challenging aspect of the project was the created part. I am not a creative person at all and I dislike art very much. It took my forever to get to my idea and it wasn't as creative as the ones that my other classmates had created. Thinking of a idea that's different and out of the ordinary was extremely difficult and it was the part that I hated most about this project.
4. I am satisfied with my project because even though it is not that abstract; it represents my idea and the way I translate art which is perfectly fine to me. You could hate it or love it but as long as I am satisfied with what I created, I am happy. With this project yes I was satisfied because it exceeded my expectations and actually came out beautiful in my eyes.
5. One thing I would change about this project would be that I would have the beginning of the S start at the border because the stream looks like it is in mid air and I would have liked for it to like the stream was a part of a flow of water and not just appearing magically from the darkness. That is the one thing if I could go back, I would change about my project.
I understand what its like to not know what to create, I've been in situations like that as well. Art is about expressing yourself the way that you understand, so what you created is all you and that is totally fine. I really liked your project anyway!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your honesty, by saying that your process did not help you, especially since i was there with you through out your process. Is there something you could have done to help with your process?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think would have made the unhelpful process more helpful? Or was it not helpful because you're indecisive?
ReplyDeleteI really loved how you said it doesn't matter whether people love it or hate, if you like it, you are happy. I feel like it takes a lot for someone to say that. I feel that the idea is so suitable for art because in art not everyone will agree or like your piece but as long as you, the artist/ designer has enough courage to bring what you think is right out, you are already a great artist.
ReplyDeleteI can understand the struggle you must of have gone through with this project. It can be difficult to come up with an idea on the spot but your final came out really good and your idea was really original. good job
