Art Project Process Notes

Please answer the following questions so that you (and I) can follow the process of how you created your “masterpiece”. 

1.  What factors influenced you in choosing this project? (eg. Pinterest, former student project pictures, internet, family member encouraged you, dream you’ve always had, an opportunity to try something you’d never done before, etc.)

2.  What were some obstacles you encountered along the way? (eg. glue gun burned my finger, we bought the wrong colour of paint, I ran out of yarn, the materials cost more than I thought, I left it to the last minute and had to rush, the ice sculpture melted before I could take a picture, etc.)

3.  Were there detours along the way?  In other words, did you start off in one direction and ended up improvising or changing your original plan?  Explain. (eg. I ran out of buttons for the mosaic, so I ended up using coins and they looked even better.  Then I decided to add some of my mom’s old fake jewelry which made it even better. 2nd eg. - The canvas couldn’t handle the impact of the paint balls, so I had to use boards instead. 3^rd eg. My cat stuffy ended up looking more like a fat rabbit, so I changed it to a rabbit named Chester.)

4.  Were there people who encouraged you or discouraged you on your art project journey?  How did you respond to them? Explain. (eg. My Dad helped me with the wood burning, but my brother said my project looked stupid. I just ignored him because he hasn’t even ever tried wood burning before. I appreciated my Dad’s help and he thought it was awesome.  He knows how hard I worked so I value his opinion more than my brother’s.)

5.  Were there times where you wanted to quit?  If so, how did you push through to get it done? Explain.  (Eg. At first I thought it would be fun to do string art, but after the first little bit, it got really boring and I wasn’t sure I liked the picture I decided to do.  I knew it would take way more time to change the picture, so I just made myself keep going and hoping it would be worth it in the end.  It was!)

6.  Is there anything you would change about your project? Explain. (Eg. I would have kept my sketches black and white.  I felt like adding the colour actually took away from my drawing.)

7.  Would you want to try this project again? Explain. (Eg. Yes, I am going to do this project again because my sister wants me to make her a painting just like the one I did for my mom. 2^nd eg. Yes, I would want to try this project again, but I would make it bigger and try making it in blue instead of yellow. )

8.  Write a note to yourself about the process of your project journey. (eg. Joanne, I know you worked really hard on this project and even though you have never done pottery before, you made a respectable pot.  I’m proud of you!)
