Project One Completed on January 13th

Our final presentation finished janurary 19th.



Project Two Completed on January 17th. We started our final prject on January 17th, and we are doing the project on a prezi.



The Girl Scouts logo shows three girls through opposite color. The white space shows silhouettes of faces then uses the other color the show another face.



The black space shows Apple's founder Steve Jobs at the bite mark of the logo. This makes a realistic looking bite mark in the apple. The white space in this logo shows different animals through opposite colors. This is a really interesting approach for negative white space. All the animals are shown through green and white inside of the horse. Through these two colors you have 4 distinct animals.

"Negative white space is a powerful drawing tool, it's one of the secrets to learning how to draw," says Bomeisler, Pink's art teacher. Negative white space is the area that forms a shape without obvious, but it is still powerful and needed for the image. Negative white space is not outlined, but uses other colors and shapes to form the shape that negative white space creates.

In the USA Network logo, the negative white space is in the letter "s" in USA. This is effective because it makes the logo more interesting. The "u" and "a" are used to shape the letter "s" because the black colors of these letter are used to form the shape of the "s".



In the Major League Baseball logo, the negative white space is in the baseball player. This is effective because it uses red, white, and blue colors and creates the shape of the baseball player. The different bright colors around the baseball player help shape the negative white space into the shape of the baseball player.



The panda logo has negative white space in the panda's body. This uses the black and white of the panda without making the panda seem drawn or outlined. The white color goes out into the outside environment but you can tell where it would stop because black contrasts the white.

We finished our first project on January 11 and all worked together to get it done during class.

January 12: We started our second project. Our homework for the weekend is to finish our portraits so we can evaluate them on Tuesday the 17.

January 17: We have finished our self portraits and have evaluated them. We just now need to scan them into the computer and have a discussion with each about them. Cecelia: When I was drawing I thought that the facial features, like the eyes, were the most difficult because it is hard to make them look the same. They were also difficult to draw because its hard to draw with level or even with each other. I don't think that my drawing is identical, but I think that overall it is pretty accurate. I could definitely be more accurate, but it isn't that bad.
 * Portrait:**

Tori: When I was drawing my self portrait, I felt that the hardest part for me to draw were my eyes. I could not get the right shape and they look crooked. I also had trouble drawing my smile because it was hard to make it the right size in comparison with the rest of my features on my face. Overall, I think that the portrait looks like me, however some of the features on my face could use more detail to make it look more like myself.

Rachel:I thought the hardest part of my portrait to draw was the outline of my head. I thought at first i could just free hand it without looking yet when i was finished and looked back it was nothing like the shape of my head. So i looked in a mirror to see the shape of my head. That helped and the drawing looked a lot better. My drawing half and half looks like me. I tried to acurately draw all of my features. Some look pretty close to what i would look like id say.

Ryan: When I was drawing my portrait, I felt that it was very hard to get facial features such as eyes and nose too look right. Also the proportion of my facial features was very off and I had to fix them many times. As my drawing became more detailed I found it hard to draw my eye lashes, and eye brows. I think that I did a pretty good job, but I could have defiantly done better by adding more detail and having better proportion of my face.

Today,1/18/12, we gave our sketches to Mr. Crider to scan to computer. We all just evaluated the pictures by looking at them together. We started the final project on a Prezi.

Overall the pictures were pretty well drawn. Tori's picture compliments her facial features well since they all are drawn to scale and look acurate. Cecelia's sketch looked like her a lot. The way she drew the eyes on her sketch looked like real eyes. Ryan's facial features look very realistic. The way he sketched his eyes and eye brows made it definetly like like himself. Lastly, Rachel's hair looked similar to her's in real life. The bangs and hair length compliment each other. We thought that the drawings would look really bad, yet overall our drawings were accurate and drawn to scale.
 * Evaluation of each other's picture:**

January 19: Today we are uploading our self portraits and finalizing our final project.
