Surprise Group Project

 Final Project 

 I made this artwork so I can introduce one of my country's traditional game to Liam. I colored the circles, and did a sketching. If you pay a little bit more attention, you can see that the colors in the circles are not same to the ones that are next to each other. This artwork is symmetrical. I sized it down so it can fit into the paper. Everything is equal, due to same size of the circles, except ones in the corners and in the middle. My eyes did not really move a lot in the game. I made it simple so we can finish it in due date.

Favorite Daily Object Sketches

 I like this one because, as you can tell, it is related to Christmas.

 I don't know why I like this one, but I just like it, probably because of the background. 

 I like this one because it is kind of geometrical.

 I like this one because the sketch is just so perfect in my point of view. 

 I like this one because of its sketch and the object's shadow.

1. I liked the daily object sketches because it was quick.
2. I did not like the daily object sketches because I had to to it twice a week.
3. I liked the daily object sketches because I understood how many different things we can draw from one object. 




Daily Object Sketch Day 31

Favorite Art Journals

 This is my favorite art journal. I like it because it tells me what the topic was even just by looking at it. 

 This is my second favorite art journal. I like it because it just looks scary"

1. I disliked weekly art journal because I had to do it every week.
2. I liked weekly art journal because some of the topics were actually interesting.
3. One thing I disliked about art journal was collage.

Daily Object Sketch Day 30

Who am I?

Finished Project 

 I am an Asian. To be specific, I am a Korean and I don't think I am mixed. It does not matter whether I am from North or South Korea because although we might be divided, we still share same ancestors. Some of my ancestors might be mixed, due to a lot of wars with ancient China and Japan, but I cannot guarantee that for sure. This bridal mask symbolizes my future bride, something I might not have at all.
 Honestly, I made this artwork because it was a homework, and I chose a bridal mask because it just popped in my mind. While I was drawing it, I tried my best make it look as close as possible to reality, meaning it is an actual artwork. I was thinking that I should not mess this one up because it represents who I am and where I am from. Even though this is my fifth year in America, some people still confuse me if I am Japanese or Chinese. Thus, I wanted to make it clear this time by working on this project. 
 I don't think it is a really bad artwork, but I think I could have done better if I was at school on Tuesday. Still, I think it is a successful artwork because it still tells other people who I am and where I am from. What worked about this project is painting. What did not work about was sketching. One thing I don't like about this artwork is that while the title of the artwork is a bridal mask, it actually look like a man.

#1 Art Critique 
The name of the student is Evan Oh and the original artwork Evan recreated is Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.
When I first look at this artwork, the sentence 'I "Heart" NY' stands out to me the most. 
It stands out to me the most because they are thickly colored and the heart is colored with red. 
The lines in the artwork leads my eyes around from place to place. 
For me, I feel brusqueness from her face. I think it contains the meaning of how Mona Lisa would be like in the modern days.
If I can rename this artwork, I would rename it as Uglisa. 
Evan did not color his artwork thickly, except for the heart. I think he thickly colored the heart to give some sort of impact. 
Evan did not use many color, but yellow and black were definitely used to describe the night view of New York. I do not really know if this is New York, but I am guessing it is New York because the shirts says 'I "Heart" New York.' Red is used to color a heart when we think of a normal heart. Lastly, he colored his pencil with yellow because he was using yellow pencil when he was sketching, I guess. 
I think Evan chose to recreate Mona Lisa because I believe that is the first artwork that popped up in his mind when he was assigned with the project. 
I like it, but I think Evan could have done better. I wish he had colored the sky with dark purple to describe dusk. The mildness I receive from the original Mona Lisa is gone, but I will not criticize about it because he recreated it.

Color Project Artist Statement





Bae 1
The name of the original artwork is The Scream. The artist who created The Scream is Edvard Munch. Edvard Munch was a Norwegian; he was also a printmaker while he was a painter at the same time. He was born in December 12, 1863 and died in January 23, 1944. His artworks had a great impact on symbolism of the late 1800s and expressionism of the early 1900s. 
I made this project because it was fun. I chose Edvard Munch's The Scream, however, because I thought the artwork would be a perfect model for an artwork I would like to create. I wanted to see how I would be like when I get a bad grade on the report card by the end of this semester; still that does not mean I want to get a bad grade. I wanted to describe a fear, and embarrassment in the artwork. Although there are some parts I don't like about this artwork, I think it is a good one. 
First, I drew the outline of the artwork. Originally, I wanted to put Fs for all the subjects, but Allen told me that I should put A for math. I did not put personal fitness on my artwork because it was too long and I did not want to waste my time trying to sketch the words for the project. I chose acrylic paint because it does not bot easily with the other paints unless we make them blot with one another. I was perplexed when I found out that there was no black and white paints, but I improvised and used red and yellow instead; actually, I think it was better for me to use red instead of black.

I chose Edvard Munch's The Scream because, like I said, I thought the artwork would be a perfect model for an artwork I would like to create. My artwork symbolize how all the students in the world, including me, are scared of bad grades on their report card. 
I chose dark blue to symbolize the darkness. I mean when the students get bad grades on their report card, they usually don't know what do to because they are so scared. I colored the letters, eyes, and my mouth to symbolize fear and shock. I changed the colors in the artwork to represent the emotions in my own. 
I used the secondary colors for my artwork. I only used blue, purple, red and yellow. I used purple for my T-shirt. It may seem like black, but when I colored it, it was purple. The color got changed as it dried off. 
I changed the style and technique to make The Scream into my own. While Edvard Munch used different colors to draw his artwork, I only used four colors. I changed the style and technique because I thought I could not draw what I wanted to draw if I used his same style and techniques.
