For my Independent project, I wanted to show how I see songs. I choose four songs for this. I started my independent project a few weeks ago. I've finished two paintings and am finishing my third, and yet to start my fourth. When painting my first painting, I had a hard time picking the colours for it but eventually found them. For my second painting, the paint I was using wasn't layering up, and I was having a hard time trying to cover the lighter spots. I looked at the painting and realized that it looked good with the lighter parts because it matched the main subjects of the painting.For my third painting, I thought I would struggle with mixing some of the colours, for example, the colour pink, but in the end, I got the right colour and continued painting. I am proud of how my painting has come out, and I look forward to finishing my last painting and showing everyone my finished project.

So we have finished our independent projects on Friday last week and now have to promote our projects. For the most part, I’m happy about how my art turned out but I wish I used a different medium instead of two different ones. I would probably do all digital ones or I would do photography. I realized towards the end of the time we had for this project I couldn’t do five pieces so I decided to do one digital drawing instead of two. I think my favourite one is my digital one. I like how the shading turned out and how her hair looks.
I don’t think I will do this again in the future but if I do I will probably do it a lot differently. I will have to work on my art style before I do that though. I’m somewhat happy about the fact that the project is over but I’m still wondering what I will do to promote my project but I have an idea on where I will promote it. I hope that those that see my work will like it as much as I do.
In VAM, my class has to do an independent project for two months. But before we can start doing our project, we had to write a business letter and now have to do this blog. I had a few ideas on what I wanted to do for my project but finally decided on one.
I am thinking of painting and digitally draw different people in a colour that matches their real emotions. The theme is emotions and how people can hide them. So those around them see something different. The reason I am doing this as my project because I don't think I express my feelings enough and, I want to do that through my art. I plan on using medibang for my digital art and acrylic and watercolour paint of my paintings. I am thinking about using red, black, green, blue and grey for each piece cause I want to show some of the more negative emotions that people try to hide. I will be looking at the colour and, the feeling I get from the colour is the feeling I'm going to paint. The amount of time we have for this project is seven weeks. So I think I'm going to do my digital art after I do my paintings. My paintings will take longer to finish than my digital art and, I can work on the digital ones at home and school. I think the paintings will take one week and a half for each and a week for the digital drawings. When watching the documentary about copyright, I felt angry and confused as to why copyright is the way it is today. I could understand why specific companies put copyright labels on some of the work produced by the artists but also as and I'll just myself I see as restricting. One of the things that stuck with me when watching it was how Walt Disney Took other people's work and made it into something different, but now his company won't allow anyone else to do the same. Before the documentary, I thought I would stand with the copyright laws. That's after I watched the documentary, I realized I stood with the copyleft. The reason being that I didn't want to have my creativity limited to royalty-free items and have to depend on my art and not take inspiration from other pieces. When watching the documentary; I realized that the way we consume media has changed. The media used to be taken and turned into art, but now the big companies producing it are the media are restricting what we can do with the media they give us. I believe that media should be free to use for everyone and, there should be no limit to how much is used, but to help the creator that made the original piece the person using it should give credit to the original artist. So that copyright laws don't go back to the way it was.
Goals are kinda weird when I think about it. I have my own goals but what’s the point of having them? You just have goals to either achieve them and have more of them, to never do anything with them. I guess I don't want to be the person who doesn’t do anything with them. One good way to set your goals I learned is by using S.M.A.R.T goals.
So for my class we had to create a website featuring the art I will make, so I think it makes sense that on of my goals is to become better at drawing people and to get better at digital drawing. This goal isn’t really necessary, but it is something that will help me be more creative with my art and is less costly. I also feel these goals will help me with some of the things I want to accomplish in the future and will help me with some of the other goals I have. The way I want to achieve my goals is by practicing once I get my drawing tablet and anatomy book for at least an hour on Friday and Sunday but I can practice drawing people in my sketchbook on Sundays for an hour. I will know that it is working because I will see the improvements in my art. When it came to my personal goals, I didn’t really know what I wanted at first but when I thought about my Phys Ed class, I realized that I wanted to become more active. The reason for this is because both sides of my family have health issues that can be avoided if I am active. I don’t feel like I need to do this, but I think it’s something I should get into the habit of doing so it becomes easier. The way I plan to achieve this goal is by walking home on Fridays, if I don’t feel tired from school, instead of talking the bus. My goal will be two fridays a month. I will track my progress on my phone. I know that these goal will help me figure out what i want to do when it comes to my career. Even though I also understand the importance in having goals they will still always become something weird. |
