1. What were some of your
solutions to What’s the Point?
Some of the ideas I came up with that were more literal were sky
scrapers and pencils. I also came up with some ideas that had more of a meaning
such as poverty and racism.
2. Which solution did you chose and why?
I chose
to do my project on pencils because I figured I could come up with a really
literal drawing. I also thought it would be fun to work on.
3. How did you show contrast in
your work?
I showed
contrast in my work by shading different areas of the pencils. This created
contrast by putting lights next to darks.
4. What medium did you decide to use? Why did you choose this
medium over the others?
The
medium I decided to use in my project was pencil. I choose pencil because I was
drawing pencils so I wanted to stick with the theme.
5. What techniques did you use to create this work?
Some
techniques I used in my work are shading and showing contrast.
6. Did you take any risks with this project?
I think I took a small risk in my project by working with
pencil, because it is very bland and boring. I also have never done a
project in pencil before.
7. What message are you conveying? How are
you convey this message through the use of your images or use of art elements
or principles?
The message I am
conveying is "What's the point". I drew giant pencils with arrows
literally pointing to the point. I also created a question mark in the middle
made out of smaller pencils.
