Valley Painting: Using watercolor, I painted a picture based on the image of a valley. Here, I learned how certain brush strokes and layering can be used to give perspective and the illusion of 3D. The art elements used include color, texture, and value. Together, they created a sense of space and 3 dimensions on a 2 dimensional image. Contrast and balance were used to do the same thing. I just think it's interesting that this can be done with this level of detail. I also liked learning the little tricks with strokes to add more detail with less work.

Panda Prints (Final Drafts): Using paint, and a carver, I created a print with a stamp in the form of a panda with bamboo in the background. When doing this project, I learned how to make prints using stamps, and how to carve them out. I messed with some of the deepness of carvings to create a sense of texture and used color/value as an element to bring the markings on the panda. All of these together made what I think is a cute scene with actual texture and value, even though it's only a 2-D image. I made a panda because once again, I was in the mood to draw an animal, and was looking for something that didn't require as much tiny details (due to the carving), but wouldn't be overly easy. I thought of a panda due to its excellent examples of value with its black and white patterns.
