 * 1) How is your painting similar to an Expressionist painting? *Look back at the Prezi to help you answer this question. There are 3 main things I'm looking for: colors, content (why did they paint?) and how did they draw the objects/people and animals in their paintings? ... ( Minimum of 3 sentences.) 5points
 * 2) Why did you choose the animal or object to represent you? (2pts)

My painting is similar to expressionist painting because the colors aren't realistic, they used exaggerated colors. They also drew these pictures to express themselves with the colors. Lastly, they drew their objects in the paintings figurative and not realistic, but not cartoony. I choose the giraffe to represent me because it's very similar to me. A giraffe is tall, and I'm tall for my age. Also, they drink lots of water, and I drink lots of water. They also are very clumsy because of their long legs, and I'm very clumsy. I choose red to represent me, because when I think of red I think of being aggressive, and I think I'm aggressive. Also, when someone gets mad, they turn red, so I think of anger, and I get mad easily. So I picked red as the color to represent me. I used rock salt, primary to secondary, graduated wash, bleeding, and lifting out. I used rock salt on the trees, primary to secondary for the sky, and I used graduated wash on the giraffes. I used bleeding on the tree, and lifting out on the tree trunk. If I could change something about my project would be to change the color of the sky a bit, because it's kinda the same color as my giraffe. Also, I'd outline the things with crayon better. The thing I like the best about my project would be the tree, because I think the rock salt came out really cool on the tree. = = = =

 * 1) Define positive and negative space. **2pts**
 * 2) Did you use mostly positive or negative space in your design or an equal balance of both? **1pt**
 * 3) Did you have a motif for your project and if so what was it? **1pt**
 * 4) Did you use interlocking design? If yes, how? **1pt**

 * 6) Write 3-5 sentences describing the printmaking process starting with the materials you used to cut your linoleum and ending with how to print. Use the following words in your description: linoleum, gouge, brayer, charging, burnish. **5pts**


 * Answer the following questions about printing. These will also be read aloud on your Voicethread.**
 * 1) Were you successful at printing? **1pt**
 * 2) What was the biggest challenge? Why? **2pts**
 * 3) If you could change your project, how would you? ( You must have an answer for this. "I would not change my project" is not an acceptable answer. ) **1pt**
 * 4) What are you the most proud of? Why? **1pt**

Positive space is the space where the details are and negative space are spaces without detail, or the background. I think i used both positive and negative space, because my design has details, but there are places where there aren't any details. I had a motif for my design. It was a flower pattern with little stems everywhere that connected it, and the stems had little leaves on them. I didn't use an interlocking design for this project. I used asymmetrical because the 2 sides didn't resemble each other, but there were shapes on one side and had a bigger form of that on the other. When I was making my project, first, I drew my pattern, then drew it on the linoleum, and carved it with a gouger. After I finished gouging everything, I charged the brayer, and rolled it over the linoleum with ink. Finally, I placed the paper on the linoleum and burnished it with my hand. I think that I was slightly successful at printing, because for some of the lines, they weren't deep enough, and the ink got in. Then that part didn't come out in the printing. Other than that I think I was successful at printing. The biggest challenge was drawing the pattern on the linoleum and gouging it, because it was really hard to draw on the linoleum and I messed up a lot. Also, it was hard to gouge it because my pattern had a lot of small details. If I could change my project, I might of drawn the little details bigger so that gouging would be easier. I am most proud of how the pattern looks when I printed it, because on the linoleum the pattern looks weird and messy, but when I printed it, it looks cool.

=CRITIQUE: (15pts total)=

Now that you've finished your Voicethread, please comment on the 3 people below you on the Student Pages. You must leave a positive and a constructive comment on each persons page. (You will make a total of 6 comments.) You must also show your Voicethread to 3 people //not// in your class. One may be another student in KIS but the other 2 must be from somewhere else. (Maybe your parents, friends from other schools, or relatives.) Ask them to make a comment about your project. Instruct them on a good positive comment, (not, "it's pretty!" or "nice job." etc.) as well as a good constructive comment. //__**Please tell them to state their name and how they know you before they comment.**__//

= = =One Point Perspective Room Critique=

The theme of my room is a person who is in love and obsessed with music. I choose this because I love listening to music and I had lots of ideas on what to do for the theme. Like what to do for the bed, and the furniture. My unexpected environment was underground where there's roots, fossils, and ant holes. I think it was a good match for my image because it's very unexpected. Underground has nothing to do with music. I think that my biggest challenge was the ideas. It was the biggest challenge because after the idea all you need to do is color it. I tried so many different themes, but then I didn't have any ideas what to do for the furniture and other things. So the idea was the biggest challenge for me. I am most proud of the coloring. It wasn't too hard, and it's simple, but before I colored it it looked very dull to me. Then after I colored it, it looked way better. If I could change anything I would make it so that the background had to match with my theme in some way instead of being unexpected. Being unexpected is more fun and creative, but I think that if you did a background that matches, it will look better and prettier.
