MYPB Phenakitascope Reflection

In this unit, I have worked with one phenakistascope, I didn't finnish it because I was sick a lot of the lessons, but I wasn't realy happy with what I got done, I could have chose some other theme for my phenakistascope.

What I thought of the unit: Honestly, I wasn't very fond of this unit, but it was an okay unit. One thing that was nice about this unit, was that we got to draw practically anything we wanted, which was nice.

Reflection: I could have consentrated and put more effort in the unit.

Overall summary: Phenakistascopes are not my cup of tea and overall I didn't do very well in this unit... Looking forward to the next clay unit :)

MYPB Colors

Last time I finished my complimentary painting. The painting had a light purple color. The rest was a purple/violet plum on the left, a green brokoli in the middle and an orange orange on the right. I am satisfied with the outcome, unlike the all-green analagous painting i did the lesson before i did the brokoli panitng. The analagous picture was grren, light-green and yellow. The painting was a painting of a road, some trees, some bushes and a house.  It didn't come out to good though but it is what it is...

So far I have had fun this unit and it is soon coming to an end due to the Christmas break in a week from today. So this is our last lesson on colors.

MYPB Colors & First Lego League

The last weeks I haven't been writing due to being forgetful and busy. In art, we have used our lessons on First Lego League. We shouldn't have used that much time on the Lego League and Mr. Roman was very generous woth giving us time. Last week, we started our new unit; colors. I wasn't here the whole lesson since i went to the dentist. Today we learnt some terminology. It was ok. I am looking forward to learning more on colors :-) -Alex

MYPB UNIT 1

Today I finished the first unit, caligraphy. I am happy with how I worked and this has been a fun unit. I particularly liked the writing and that I could write neatly (which I didn't knew I could). I had troubles chosing the quote, I didn't know which I wanted but I ended up doing this poem by John Frusciante (a musician): I find that the best way to do things is to consantly move forward and to never doubt anything and keep moving forward, if you made a mistake say you made a mistake.

Feedback:

Posities: It is nice (Jørgen) Caligraphic (Majury) Pen angle is good and writing is flowing (Mr. Roman) Good/major message & a lot of words (Mr. Roman)

Concerns: Hard to read (Ahmed) spacing (Mr. Roman)

Suggestions: Landskape & not portrait (Johanne)

This is my main assessment drawing of my shoes and symbols that represent me and my culture. Im going to start with the football/sun, it obviously represents me playing football and how football is a big sport in France.
The mountains represent the mountains and the alps in France and how I like to go skiing in the alps every winter/christmas break. The shoe represents sports and skateboarding, so do the cruise boardon the side of the lake. I drew the lake because Finland is known for its thousands of lakes. The flags (France and Finland) are obviously there to represent me coming from France and Finland. The two mysterious looking heads under the cruise boards are (from the left) a "skelleton" and a "creeper" form the game called Minecraft (link: http://www.minecraft.net/ ) that I like to play.
Now, for the last symbol is the most signifisant one to me, the logo of the group Red Hot Chili Peppers (link: http://redhotchilipeppers.com/ ) which means a lot to me because I grew up with them and I've listened to them since  I was in kindergarden. I chose not to have the Finish airforce logo because it may be discriminating and misunderstood...

This lesson we did nothing but draw our shoes and the symbols that represent us an our culture. It was very fun and I'm satisfied with the drawing.

This lesson we started the drawing of our shoes and things that symbolize our culture. This was fun and I'm well of. I have a bit less than half left. This lesson was very nice :)
