Unit 2, steal

1. During this unit, I improved on making straighter lines (with the help of a ruler) and drawing a person more to scale. I always had trouble making a body consistent and to scale, and I think I'm slowly getting better. 
2. I always thought original art was completely 100% made up by you, with only inspiration and ideas coming from yourself. Now, I better understand that all art is inspired from something or someone. A piece of art, I believe, is original if you took ideas/inspiration and made something new and unique, though there may be something out there like it. 
3. This unit I made a lot of minor mistakes when drawing, which is normal. However, I am content with my final results, which is good. If I could change something, I might make the lines cleaner on my two-in-one drawing. However, overall I'd say my projects were successful.

Unit 1, space

Final project:

1. This week my understanding of artistic space has changed because now I better understand how artists make an object in 3D and 2D look more realistic. It's also not as hard as it looks, using a vantage point makes it really simple. 
2. I think the activity that helped most was when we had to sketch blocks on our desk and shade it. It helped me to really take the time to study a simple object and draw it as realistic and to scale as possible. 
3. I am really happy with the result of my group's final project. It definitely was successful and was really fun to do. (It is pictured above).
