PLEASE ADD YOUR 1ST GRADE DRAWING

The theme I chose was army. I chose this theme because I believe the men and women who fight for our country represent peace. We have troops fighting for the peace of this country everyday. If we did not have the military imagine what kind of world we would be living in? The only problems I encountered when making my pinwheel was getting the army star to stick on to the pole. To solve this problem I decided to use hot glue instead of normal classroom glue. I believe that my pinwheel was very successful! It looks the way I wanted it to, and I believe that my pinwheel represents peace in a creative way. If I had to change anything it would have to be the square part on the pole. I would out it in front of the pole, not the side of the pole. Everything seems to be working, there is nothing that doesn't work on it.

I really enjoyed doing this project. I found the gridding process very helpful. I am extremely happy with my art. I feel that I captured the emotion of the piece and the emotion was what made me fall in love with it from the beginning. I did run into some problems in the beginning of this project. I couldn’t seem to get the shading right, and I could not get the background to look good. I also had a problem with the girls back leg. It didn’t look blended and it was out of place. But after spending some time on it I got it to look like a finished piece. I am happy with the texture and color of the girl. I am also happy with the color of the background. I like using the oil pastels on the image because they are very easy to blend and I was able to work with them very well. There is not much that I do not like about my piece of art but there are some things I am not proud of. I do not like the way the hands turned out, I feel like they look to big. To try and fix that I made them look more dark and blended, that kind of helped. The hands are the only thing that I do not like about it. I am very proud of what I did. I feel like I put my time in I to come out with something I like. I will keep this piece forever and possible get it framed.



This project was interesting to me, I had to go through a few sites before I found a picture site that actually worked for me. I went through a site that I could layer witch made the project look pretty cool. I also shrunk the girl that was drawn and took her off her original picture. I grabbed a picture from google and placed her right on it using aviery.com.
