Artists Collaborate
During the process of creating this art i asked the people around my table if they liked it or what they thought of it. If i had to grade myself on take information and using it i would give myself a two i hear what they say. But I didn't take it into account like that i want to fill in the white spots in the oil pastels. i heard it but I didn't change anything about it or correct it. 
Artists Take Risks 
During this project I realized that draw horses was complicated and I wasn't sure how to draw one. I took all of the information I learned in art and looked online to help me gather information to paint a watercolor horse. Before I knew how to paint it the shadows and the depth didn't show (this is the horse on the right.) The horse on the left is after I took all I know about mixing darker colors to shade and after I watched the video on how to paint a horse. The video I watched showed how to use dry brush for the darker shades and add water so they gradually get lighter.

Have a Global Awareness of Artmaking
During fun friday we do many things that people currently are messing with and looking into, to create cool art. One fun friday we created a moving sculpture on the ceiling of a trailer. In the past fun friday we took perspect photos which many artists apply themselves to. When you create art similar to others around the world it can connect you and the other people. No art is exactly the same.

Developing art making skills.

In art class we learned how to draw with oil pastels. As a class we each drew a sphere with oil pastels. We were then given the option to do the next project in oil pastels. The project that I'm currently working on is about space I chose to do the project in oil pastels. One thing I like about oil pastels is they are easy to blend and give the picture a nice texture. Oil pastels are fun to draw with other than the fact that your hands are covered in them after you finish.




Solving problems.
It is not really a problem, but I learned how to draw a face better and I was able to make it more realistic. I learned how values can bring something to life and show the depths and feelings. I used what i learned and put it into my work to help the nose be gradual on the face and not very intense  and stuck on there. Also we learned how to draw each feature of the face which helped the whole face to be more realistic. I would like to learn how to draw hair next.
 





Artists reflect.
In art we have the day to look at others art and right positive comments. After we have this I enjoy to look over my comments and use the comments to improve my art or to improve my feelings about my art. Before this I felt my art wasn't good enough and that everyone else was better. After this i realized we all strengths and I just need to find mine.
