To create the patterns on each triangle, I used India Ink. I was basically black paint that dries as fast as a sharpie. I used 20 separate triangles and put a different pattern on each. There was a certain pattern the triangles needed to be laid out before glued in order to fold the triangles in a circle. I learned to know which triangles to glue together because I glued them all together which made t impossible to fold in a circle. I liked the project other than having to glue it in a ball. Since the gluing part didn't go as planned for me, I just glued it in an oval sort of. It could fit over a lamp shade if I wanted, still cool!

This project can be started out any way you want, but I chose to start by choosing and painting my background. Then I decided to choose and paint a character on my cell that would fit with my background. I chose Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and a tornado as my background. When painting Dorothy, I had to paint the back of the cell so that the front surface would be smooth later when I put it to another paper. I used glue dots to mat the cell to the red border paper, then used more glue dots to mat my background behind the cell to the red border paper. I learned that painting is very difficult. It took me two class periods to paint my background so I couldn't mix the paint to match the colors I used the day before. It was also hard to mat the painted paper with the border paper because it was all wavy and hard. To begin this project I chose a character that I thought was not going to be hard to draw. Therefore, I chose to draw Minnie, and I thought that my original colored drawing turned out pretty well. From my original colored drawing, I looked up skeletons online so I could get more familiar with what bones look like and how to draw them. Then I tried to find a skeleton of Minnie or Mickey since they have the same body structure, but I couldn't find any. Since I couldn't find any, I just looked up specific bones and tried to draw them in the same way that Minnie's body was in the original drawing.
My skeleton of Minnie didn't turn out like I wanted it to, but I was pleased with my original colored drawing. Since I couldn't find a skeleton of Minnie, I got frustrated and just hurried up to finish the skeleton drawing because I wasn't doing good with proportions. It was also difficult to have the skeleton in the same body position as the original drawing. Overall, I enjoyed the project, but I just wish my end product could have turned out better. There are different ways to form and mold clay, but I used the coil method. By using this method, I was able to make my bowl as high or as wide as I wanted. To connect the coils to one another, I used the slip and scoring method where I roughed up the surface I wanted to connect clay to, then I used slip. Slip is basically wet clay that helps mend clay together. I learned by observing other people make their clay mugs, not to make the coils to thin because there will end up being a hole in the side of the mug. Thankfully, I never had the problem of my coils being too thin since I was making a turtle bowl that is a decent size. The biggest problem I had in making my turtle bowl, was that I did not make the base circle thick enough. Therefore, I had to wait until my clay had dried a little before I attached my legs to the bottom of the bowl.
To create symmetry in my piece, I just drew a line in the middle of my paper and each time I drew a shape on one side I drew it on the other. I drew a turtle because I am obsessed with turtles!!! I used a random color scheme in my asymmetrical painting because I wanted to use as many colors as I could make with my 4 colors. In my symmetrical painting I used analogous color scheme because blue, yellow and green are next to each other on the color wheel. I was really happy with the way my paintings turned out, even though they took me a really long time to paint.
Primary colors are colors that can be combined with each other to make other useful colors. Secondary are they colors you get after you mix the primary colors together. Tertiary colors are colors you get when you mix a primary color and a secondary color together. I felt the hardest color to make was violet; my violet was never the color I thought it should have been. To create the different tints in my color wheel I used white to lighten up the colors. For my design, I tried to be as simple as I could but still be able to tell which design was for my primary, secondary and tertiary colors. I did a good job mixing my colors except for a couple, and it was easy for me to gradually get darker with my colors. To get better at painting, I need to get better at painting within the lines. I kept going out of the space for one color into another.
I chose to draw the Eiffel Tower because I thought that it wasn't going to be very hard to draw. I struggles with drawing all the little lines because it was hard to take them to a vanishing point because some didn't even go to a vanishing point in the picture that I printed off. Even though it was hard to draw the little lines, I felt like I did a good job with that. If I would have had more time I would have went through and shaded in the areas that needed to be to give my drawing more detail.
In one point perspective, there is only one vanishing point that lines extend to and in two point perspective there are two vanishing points. Also, the dimensions between the two perspectives are different. One point and two point perspective differs most on their positioning. One point perspective has one vanishing point, and two point perspective has two vanishing points on the horizon, usually one left and one right. The letters that were the easiest for me to draw were the A and H. It was hard for me to know which lines went to which vanishing point so the letters looked really weird afterward and I had to start over multiple times.
the point at which receding parallel lines viewed in perspective appear to converge is called the vanishing point. A horizontal line is measured or contained in a plane parallel to the horizon. In my city, I really struggled with drawing my streets and the park I had in the middle. I thought that the lines on the sides of my building turned out very well.
