Fabric Painting Response. 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) 3. Why did you choose the particular color to represent you? (2pts) 4. Which watercolor techniques did you use on your painting and where did you use them? (2pts) 5. What would you change about your project if you could do it over? (2pts) 6. What do you like most about your project? (2pts)
 * My painting is similar to an Expressionist painting, because the dog in my painting is in the color purple. I painted the dog in purple, because I like the color purple and it makes the observer have a peaceful feeling when looking at the color. I drew this dog in this painting by looking at an image from google and I drew an outline of a dog sleeping.
 * I choose a dog to represent me, because dogs are playful and likes going outdoors. I personally is very playful and like going outdoors. I think that dog is a very friendly animal when getting to know each other and I think that myself is friendly to a person when getting to know each other.
 * I choose purple to represent me, because I like things which are peaceful. I don't like loud and noisy things, but I like quiet and calm. I think purple gives a feeling of quiet, calm, and peaceful.
 * On my painting, I used feathering. For the sands around the dog, I made a feathering of the brown color to represent the sand. I also used wet to wet, on the tree trunk. You may not see it, but if you look at it closely, I used the black paint on top of the brown. I also used graduated wash for the sun. This painting is showing that the sunlight is spreading out in the sky and the color is getting lighter and lighter surrounding the sun.
 * I would try to change the color of the tree trunk, because the color brown was too dark for the wet and wet process to be done. The color orange did not stand out from the wet and wet process, because the orange and the brown started to mix and made the colors even.
 * I like the sun and the sky mostly, because I think the graduate wash of the color red came out well representing the sun's blend with the sky.





This project has a apple tree, couple of cars, and the sun. This is a very simple artwork and represents the earth day and does not represent the earth day. The tree represents the earth day, because the trees makes oxygen for us and gets rid of the carbon dioxide. On the other hand, the cars represents the bad side of the earth day. Those cars pollutes the world unlike the trees.

Project Reflection: (total 25pts) Now that you've finished your linoleum printmaking project, let's reflect on the process! Answers must be in __complete sentences and in paragraph form__. You may need to write 2 paragraphs. Please answer these questions below. You can type the answers to your questions on Pages, or Text edit. I will grade your answers on your Voicethread. (instructions will follow.)
 * 1) Define positive and negative space. **2pts**
 * negative space is the space between or around the objects in the art piece. It doesn’t have many complicated designs. The positive space has spaces which are taken from the designs. The positive spaces has much more designs than the negative space.
 * 1) Did you use mostly positive or negative space in your design or an equal balance of both? **1pt**
 * I used mostly negative space in my design, because my art piece had lots of simple and big designs. There also were lots of leftover spaces for my art piece.
 * 1) Did you have a motif for your project and if so what was it? **1pt**
 * I think I did have a motif for my project, because if you take a look at it, there is a half drawn flower on my project. On top of the flower, I had other big designs overlapping the flower. I think the theme for my project was a flower.
 * 1) Did you use interlocking design? If yes, how? **1pt**
 * No, I did not use interlocking designs. My project was an example of a negative space.
 * 1) Which type of Balance did you use on your project? Symmetrical or Asymmetrical? (Review your digital portfolio to help you answer this question.) **5pts**
 * My project’s balance was asymmetrical, because if you cut this project in half, then it would not look even.
 * 1) 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**
 * First, you need to outline your design on the linoleum with a pencil so that you don’t make any mistake when carving it. To make it easier, for you to carve the linoleum with the gouge, you can shade the parts which you would need to carve out with a pencil. After your done with shading, you should start carving out your design with a gouge on the linoleum. When done carving, use the brayer to spread out the paint in your art piece and you may charge the brayer by rubbing the brayer into the paint once more if it runs out of paint. After, you should put a paper on top of the linoleum (which is full of paint by now) and burnish (rub) it in order for the paint to come out well when you take off the paper as the last step.

**Answer the following questions about printing. These will also be read aloud on your Voicethread.**
 * 1) Were you successful at printing? **1pt**
 * I think I was successful at printing, because all the details which I wanted to come out came out in the printing. On the other hand, I found out that sometimes I had too much paint and etc.
 * 1) What was the biggest challenge? Why? **2pts**
 * My biggest challenge from this project was when I had to carve the small part in the linoleum. I made small mistakes from the carving, but I found out a way to fix the mistakes by carving out some other parts.
 * 1) 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**
 * If I could change my project, I would of tried to make the lines more straighter and carve out the lines evenly, instead of some carved thickly and some carved thinly.
 * 1) What are you the most proud of? Why? **1pt**
 * I am most proud of the flower pebbles which I carved out. It was a bit hard for me to carve out the pebbles of the flower, because it was a bit curvy, but I think I did a pretty good job on carving out the flower pebbles, because I traced out the lines of what I would need to carve out on the linoleum.

One point perspective Room Critique.


My room doesn't have a particular theme, but for sure, this room is for people to relax in this room. I choose this kind of room, because I wanted people to feel relaxed and comfortable when looking at this room. The objects in my room doesn't have the color which is too bright, but in my opinion, I think the objects has smooth colors in order to make this a calm room. My unexpected environment for this project was a ocean. I choose ocean as my unexpected environment, because it is unexpected to have an ocean around a room. Out of the many different kinds of environment, I choose an ocean, because it is calming to see the ocean. Seagulls flying, fishes swimming across the ocean, and the clean saltwater. The biggest challenge of this assignment was coloring the wallpaper. It was hard, because I didn't know how to control the color value. First, the color of my wallpaper came out a too dark, and so the dark brown wallpaper made the room a bit dull. So, I kind of changed the wallpaper by erasing the dark colors. Since the color wouldn't completely come off, I decided to make a pattern of the wallpaper. If you look at the wallpaper closely, you would see that some parts have a stronger strip of brown and some parts don't. The thing which I am most proud of in this project is the T.V. I drew. I think I drew it exactly how I was suppose to draw it. I can see the screen of the T.V. and can see it as 3D (one point perspective). If I can change anything in this assignment, I would change the part about the unexpected environment. It took me very long to decide what to draw for the unexpected environment which almost wasted all my time.
