Reflecting at the end of the year. Look through your blog. Go all the way back to the beginning of the year. Look especially closely at your finished work. Think about how the year has gone for you. Now, write a detailed paragraph that describes how the course has gone for you. What have you found to be your artistic strengths? What have been your challenges? What do you think you’ll leave the class thinking about? How can you see it influencing your life in the future? LABELS: reflection
This year has been an amazing year of art for me. Not only have I learned a lot and grown as an artist but I have really enjoyed this year with you as my teacher. My work I have finished this year I found has developed and gotten better and better and more creative. My love for art has really been strengthened by taking this class. I have found I love doing collages and working in 3D art but my drawing skills have really improved as well. Drawing is most definitely my greatest art strength but I am looking forward to expanding my horizons and challenging my self. The only real challenge I have had this year is dealing with the tragic loss of my art journal :( After it being lost now for about a month I am starting to worry I may never get it back. I had just finished the journal and it has this entire years art work in it, including some personal things too. This year I think I will leave the class thinking about my lost art journal sitting behind some cabinet in a cold dark corner, or in a smelly pile of trash at a dump. Mostly though I will be thinking about how much I will miss this class, and how I cant wait to get back up there next year and work with you again! This class is not only the best art class I have ever taken but also the best class in general. I will take all that i have learned from this class and use it in all my future years of art (which will hopefully be many). My freshman year will be remembered as the year I took an amazing art class, with the great Mrs. Roberts! I can't wait till next year when I get to be up there for 2 art classes!!

Paper Cranes for Japan Project
Describe what images and/or facts stayed with you from what you saw and read about the devastation in Japan. Now make a list of at least three wishes you have for the people of Japan. Add a picture of a paper crane to the post.
I saw many videos of the devastation in Japan. It was so sad to see so many people homes, boats, cars and even other possessions, float by and there was nothing they could do. It must have been so hard for these people to watch as there home was destroyed, to not be able to stop it. I heard one story of a man who when he realized his wife and mother were not with him, was told to report them as missing, and wait 2 DAYS for the rescue workers to come and hopefully find them. He knew he couldn't stand around and wait, so he took action. He swam into his house and managed to hold his breath long enough to find them. They were stuck in the bedroom with only a foot of breathing room left. He helped them out of the house and they survived. If he hadn't have done that, and been so brave, they would have surely died with the rising water level. Its so inspirational to hear these stories about how brave these people are.
WISHES:
1. That all the homes and buildings will be able to be rebuilt.
2. That the nuclear problems with the food would be solved/stopped.
3. That no more people will die for reasons relating to this tragedy.

Getting back to materials
Insert a photo of the self portrait you made in class today. In a post on your blog explain why you chose the materials you did for today’s project, then describe how you decided to use the materials you chose. What was the process for making what you made? How do you feel about the finished product?
For this project I didn't have many choices for materials, but the one i thought would be a lot of fun was this bendy wire string stuff. It was in a huge role and u could bend it into different shapes thats why i thought it would be easiest to use. Fist when i started to make my self portrait I made the oval of my face and twisted the ends together so they would stay. Then I used the symmetry lines of drawing faces to use a line to create the 2 eyes on and a line to create the mouth. I had to bend them into the shapes of these features though. Next I put the nose attaching to the line between the 2 eyes. Then i used to strands to outline hair. One challenging part was that the wire wasn't completely bendable to it would sometimes twist apart or the lines of the eyes and mouth would move lower and higher than where they should be. The finished project although it isn't a masterpiece I think does look like a face, this project felt like more of a fun thing to get back into my creative side and doing art in school again.
