This relates to me because softball is basically my life. I play softball pretty much 24/7. I have practice for high school everyday after school for jv and over the weekend I have travel ball tournaments or practice.

How did you respond to the challenges that occurred as you work?

I learned from my mistakes in this project. For example if I made to far of a cut then I would just not make as far a cut next time.

Did your work take an unexpected turn due to a mistake or did something happen that was unplanned?

My work did take an unexpected turn due to a mistake I made. I tried to put one more layer of pink I top of the yellow but it did not look as good as I planned and it was hard to line up. I just made that one a mess up and left the rest without the pink.

How did you use your own unique ideas in your work?

I picked the Starbucks frapachino cup because it's pretty much iconic. Everyone post pictures if they get it and are like "yay".

Did you use a source of inspiration, then combine it with your own ideas to make it original? 

I used just everyday people as my inspiration. I used not realistic colors to make it my own and add a polka dot background.

Color Project

Planning:

     

     

     For my two in one project I chose Creature as the theme. I incorporated the theme by drawing an animal. I drew a tree frog on a leaf and a tree frog is a type of creature.  

     I chose oil pastel as my medium because for me it is easy to blend. I needed an easy to blend medium for the eyes and the skin of the frog to make it the right color.

     The only difficult part I had was the background. Since the tree frog is green it was hard to find a background that won't blend with the frog. That's why I chose a dark leaf and blue paper.

Finished: 

     I think my piece was successful because the colors blended really we'll and I think that helped it look like a better tree frog. I am most proud of the eyes because they look realistic and the colors blended well.

     If I could change one thing I would change the blue background. I wouldn't completely change it I would add more to it. Like maybe a branch that the leaf is coming off of.

     I learned that blending with oil pastels is really easy and helpful but very messy.
