Tessellation
This week we did tessellations. I leaned some new vocab including contrast, which is the arrangement of opposite elements. Also, we leaned who the artist M.C. Escher is. He is famous for making tessellations. I enjoyed this project because its very visually satisfying.
Albrijes
This week we learned what alebrijes are. We learned some new vocab including pinch pot, which is making a ball of clay thats hollow. We also learned what what the word alebrije is. Its combining different animal into 1 thing. I liked the creative aspect of this but not the feeling of the clay.
Perspective
I really liked this project. In this project we learned about how to draw our dream house using perspective. We learned lots of vocab. Like term space, it means how you create perspective in a 2 dimensional area. We also learned what texture is (i did my wood siding).
Finals

Collagraph
For the days, we have been working on collagraphs. We did both relief and intaglio styles. I learned new vocab such as gradient- gradually transitioning from something to another intaglio- an impression in something that yields a design, and relief- a sculptural technique where elements remain attached to solid background. My feelings toward this project are aggravated. I feel aggravated because i had an imagine in my head what it would turn out like, and it didn't look like i wanted.
Close up value drawings
Our project we are working on this week is a closeup of our chosen image. I learned some new vocab, ratios was the most talked about. It means the size compared and how you want it to be the same.
Value
This week we focused on value. I learned how to be more careful when blending and not to use your finger.
This week, we made our own books. I liked this project and some new words I learned is Endpage and signature. I made my book with a pair of black jeans.
