How I learned and used

the standards
I learned about
contrast, value, texture,
space and perspective
during this unit and put
them to use in almost all
of my pieces. Most of the
art I made this semester
was based on personal
events with inspirations
for style from other
artists. The meaning
came in from the lessons I
learned from said events
and my attempts of
elaborating them to
others. They were based
around subjects hard to
talk about but easier to
depict, at least to me.

principles of art at least to
sculpting, as evidenced by
my first independent
project. I used what
coloring I could on plaster

it in as unique a way as I
could figure out to do. I
critiqued the art of other
students sculptures and
the basis of their form.

some very ambiguous
images but thats part of
the process.
