Design Your Own Art Project
Project Description:
For this project we were allowed to chose the topic and medium in which we wanted to create our art. We then had to do a pre-assessment and research our topic. After our research was complete we created our art using our previous skills and our newly acquired skills. We had our art critiqued by our peers and refined it based on their advice if we chose to. When we felt out art was complete we learned the proper ways to hang art and then hung our art on the wall at the wall according to what we used for our canvas.

Artist Statement:
I have always liked acrylic painting and elephants are one of my favorite animals. Since I had never painted an elephant before I decided to take this opportunity to combine two of my favorite things. My painting was also slightly inspired by my poem I wrote for humanities called I wrote called War of the Wildflowers (which can be found on my humanities page). The elephant is actually putting flowers on the tree so they can get a better view of the world.

Enviromental Documentary Project
Project Description:
In this project, which combined two different classes; science and digital arts, we created documentaries which brought awareness to an environmental issue in our area. For the digital arts promotion we watched many helpful videos on film production that helped us create our own films. One particularly helpful lecture was on lighting since none of us really knew the importance of it or how to use it properly. This definitely helped our project our a lot while we were filming. All of was a really new experience and when we were finished we got to show our documentary at an exhibition in front of a live audience.

Reflection:
Art is used as a vehicle for communication because it gives a visual to the message a person is trying to convey. Art is more powerful and has more of an effect on the audience when used with facts. The characteristics and expressive features of art and design are used to improve art. They are useful for interpreting, understanding, and constructing, good art. They provide guidelines to either follow or break. Preliminary Plans also help improve art by helping the artist create a visual on paper and decide how the want to create their art. It helps to create a more refined art piece.
