 Artists Develop Art Making Skills
In art class we began the semester with drawing a hand and we would draw the letters of the alphabet. We each drew hands and learned different techniques to make the hands look more realistic. We learned about proportion and how to measure the different lengths of the hand and transfer that onto the paper. We then learned how to use value to are advantage and make the creases and folds in the hand present and realistic. Realism is the a type of art while working on our hands it helped us to learn how to mange the space and make the image make sense.

Artists Create Original Art

When drawing the letter R in sign language I used my own photo and orientation of the hand. I positioned my own hand and the photo from an angle that I liked once I took the photo I proceeded to draw it taking in how my hand was in the photo and how i saw my hand outside of the photo I took portions of each and created the drawing of the letter R. I feel that I came up with my own interpretation of the art and how it should look by using various source that I had like how the sign looked and where I took the picture and the curves of the fingers.

 Artists Reflect
When we began the stop motion film we already had seen videos like this that were a string of photos put together. We first decided the material we would use we decided on M&M's, so we brought in M&M's then next day. We then planned how we would take the photos. We ended up putting two stools on the table and putting two meter sticks in between  to hold the phone then we decided on the pattern of the M&M's. We then decide on what would happen and after we did that we each got a roll and each did something to add M&M's make the patterns or take photos. The end product was made by and app.
