Ever since I started the alphabet project that I started myself, I have seen no growth in my sketchbook. I see this as a way to fill my sketchbook while having fun. I enjoy drawing random things, and animals always make me happy. The quality of this page is basically the same as the last drawing I uploaded because I don't feel like it needs to be highly detailed. In my opinion, watercolor is not meant to be used for details. It is used to fill the page with color. I know that watercolor can be used for incredible paintings, but I do not have the patients to make it look amazing. I am happy with what I have done so far because I am also working on another sketchbook and I do so much more in that one than this. So in the end, my quality has not gone anywhere and it most likely wont in this sketchbook.
For this poster we were told to combine everything we have done throughout the whole year and make 1 poster out of the design elements. To first start off, I had to think which project I would work off of. I decided to combine the logos project and text project to create the center piece you see above. After I made the center piece I thought about having a horizon. The reason for this idea was because of A.M. Cassandre whom I had recently done an artist study on. He had used so many horizon lines and so I thought that would be a great way of tying his design style into this piece. After I had gotten the design layout done, I wanted to reflect on the past marking period and what I had learned. I found out that everything seemed to be review and I used the word toxic because of how my mom used it in the past. My brother and I had been up on the third floor for so long every day that my mom said it felt toxic there. So I got the word toxic from that story! The final part of this poster was to add the paragraph I prepared earlier. It wasn't a huge pain to put into the work, and I actually like the effect it makes in the "toxic water." So all in all, I like this poster and what came out of it has enlightened me.
