Reflection: Total 18 points Directions: Upload a photo of your project to the TOP of your wiki page. Make sure the photo is clear and not blurry. It must also show the entire painting. (3pts) Answer the following questions on your wiki page in complete sentences and in paragraph form.

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

- My painting is similar to an Expressionist painting because the colors have the feelings of anger. The painting had dark clouds and the sky was greenish blue. The sun is orange and that means the storm will soon surpass. The animal in the painting is a Dolphin. The dolphin is orange and orange means thoughtful so even thought the dolphin is mad her anger will soon go away.

2. Why did you choose the animal or object to represent you? (2pts) - I chose a Dolphin because they protect their friends, and they stay true to the end. Dolphin are also playful and fun.

3. Why did you choose the particular color to represent you? (2pts) - I chose the color black and orange because on the day we started the project i was mad so i put in some black. I knew that my anger would go away and so i put in some orange.

4. Which watercolor techniques did you use on your painting and where did you use them? (2pts) - I used feathering for the ocean. I used salt for the clouds. I used Graduated wash for the dolphin. And I also used dry brush for the seaweed.

5. What would you change about your project if you could do it over? (2pts) - If i could do the project over i would make sure the dolphin will turn out pink instead of orange. The sun was supposed to be orange not the dolphin.

6. What do you like most about your project? (2pts) - I like the idea i used for feathering the sea. It makes the sea look pretty and cool. = =

- Positive space is where there is alot of detail and its lighter and it feels much more cleaner than negative space. Negative space is where there is not alot of detail and it is darker and much more depressing than Positive space. - I used mostly negative space in my design because it was easier to draw and it looked much better than my positive drawing. - I didn't have a motif for my project. - I tried to do the interlocking designs by making the arms connect when they were pasted together, but they didn't turn out that way. - I used Symmetrical on my project, the arms come in different sizes but to me they feel like the same weight and so they are not very different being the same shape and all. - For my linoleum i used the big thick knife to cut out the not needed pieces. My friend used the small one throughout her whole print but I didn't think it was necessary to do that. When i was finished i got the brayer pushed it around the paint and then went over my linoleum. I got my piece of paper and put it on top of the linoleum. I took the paper out and VOILA!

1. The theme of my room is peaceful and girlish type. I chose this theme because this is what my room sort of looks like. 2. My unexpected environment is natural disaster. It was a good match because a girly girl would never like natural disaster and would not like to live near one. 3. My biggest challenge in this assignment was getting the idea... I would find an idea and like it but then later on i would change my mind. I must have changed my mind like a hundred time doing this project. 4. I am most proud of my volcano in the picture because it is the only thing that looks okay in the picture. 5. If i could change anything in the picture i would change the theme, because i wasn't very creative.
