Final Thoughts

This marking period I surprised myself.  Working on the blog has definitely been a

highlight the marking period. I really enjoy working on computes artistically.  I think

my blog is a pretty good representation my thoughts and feelings.  The shading of fruit definitely made me look at apples differently.  It is in fact not just an apple but also a canvas of color and dimension.  Working on the self-portrait has been awesome.  I can’t wait to keep working on it and seeing how it comes out.  I’m really looking forward to the second marking period.

Self Portrait

I've really enjoyed working on my self-portrait for the last few weeks.  I didn’t think I

was going to like it as much as I do because I didn’t think my drawing skills were good

enough to pull it off.  I found that when drawing our “cartoon outline” of our faces, I

didn’t feel so pressured to make it look perfect or exactly like me.  I’m happy with my

finished outline and excited to work into it with paint, ink and colored pencils.  I experimented with paint on my miniature crop and I like it.  I do look a little bit like a

witch, but it’s funky.
