Final Reflections
Final Reflection
Documenting your learning
Developmental Workbook
Final-
Reflection involves looking back on experiences. Reflecting helps to reconstruct, analyze, and evaluate what happened. At a time and place away from the immediacy of the experience.
Reflect on the following questions!
1. Describe in detail how your planned for the artwork. (How did you create your piece? What was the process? What did you need to know?) What were you trying to do? Use value to create the illusion of depth without outlining? (example)
2. What materials did you use? How did the media influence the artwork?
3. What ideas, meaning, message or feelings have you expressed in your artwork?
4. In what ways did you take risks?
5. What problems or difficulties did you encounter? How did you solve them?
6. What suggestions did you get from your classmates or teacher?
7. What possibilities or ideas for future artwork did you get from this project?
8. What artists influenced your work? (explain why or how)
9. What concepts or skills did you learn about yourself, or about the world?
10. What was enjoyable or rewarding about making this art?

Beyond the student i.d.: The self portrait!
How does an artist tell more about themselves when creating a self-portrait?
How do we go beyond the mugshot, or student i.d. photo as a representation of ourselves?
Each of us carries with us our own individuality. How do we represent this in our self-portraits?

Value/Shading Techniques/Making Marks
...particularly with drawing.
Let's look at how you define failure with drawing.
Have you failed if you do not draw what you have conceived in your head before you began the drawing?
In this class, you should be drawing what you see, NOT an ideal figure.
Have you failed if you do not draw what you see in front of you?
How much do you really see? Are you focused on details or the overall picture; the overall figure? What is more important; the individual fingers and small facial details or torso, legs, arms, head?
Have you failed if you make mistakes?
If you don't make mistakes, then how are you going to learn anything other than what you already know?

Sketchbook: Japanese Stab Binding
Since Drawing does not a fee, and our budget has been drastically reduced, we will be making our sketchbooks.
Doodling and the Zentangle!
