1, This is my favorite older piece I did because I like how the water came out because it shows the different values of the water depending what angle you see it. I like the amount of detail I put into the butterfly and the wings do look realistic and how for the body I choose to do a fishing hook it did fit together. The butterfly in my in process one has better detail in the butterfly but the finished product has such better detail on the amount of change of color blue, green throughout the whole piece. I put many highlight points and tried to change the value of each color. The thing I learned is that water color drys pretty fast so you have to paint quickly and you mix each color to make other shades of blue & green throughout the whole piece. I didn't think the color pencil medium and water color would go together but I liked how my final piece came out. I think I should have put fishes around because it's a fish hook body and it isn't very clear on what it is.

Question 1
1. The medium I really liked to use this year was the water color paint. I really liked using it because when it dries it looks different from with you first paint it. It has such beautiful different techniques you used with water color. You do the one where you paint the background and you use salt on a wrap of paper. Use the one where you paint the background and just keep moving your paper around then it gives it a like goo form. The one I didn't like working was with the oil pastel. I just didn't like how you tried to do a certain piece you had to tried not to get you arms dirty bcecsue it's pretty messy. I just didn't like how the texture came our after you finished the piece you were working on. You could get the power everywhere and get the piece messed up if you touch it.
question 2
1. One of the tools that I have never used is was the slab roller and not any of the clay tools. I learned that the slab roller was used to make the the clay a flatter piece and more useful for you what you are making. The clay tools that were in the bucket was used to help you create more detail to your piece and to cut off the extra clay you don't need. The sponge to blend the clay all together with your piece and try to fix the broken pieces. All theses tools were a great resource because it helped the piece look better and have you create the piece you wanted. I was amazed how the slab roller can flat out the clay it's pretty thick sometimes.
