Be The Artist

So in class the other day we completed a scavenger hunt where we were supposed to find different mediums that we could use to create art. We looked for traditional mediums like pencils and paint. Also we looked for non-traditional mediums such as glass, CD's, and sticky notes.

Later in class we were given four categories: medium, technique, principles of art, and subject. We were then told to list as many things we could that belong in the category. This was to get us thinking about art, and how to be an artist. Mr. Sands told us after that to take one of the things we listed for each category, and to find a video on how to do it.

After we find a video we were to pick one of them we liked the most and to do it.

For medium I chose watercolor. In the end I found this cool video of a girl watercoloring the London Skyline. I think If i would do this I would make the Seattle Skyline instead. Here is the video. The girl doesn't talk it is just music, so no volume is needed.

For technique I pick knitting, but not just knitting. Instead I wanted to know how to finger knit. Here is a video that shows how to finger knit. 

For principles of art I chose focal point. I didn't find any videos that I liked. Although, I found some pictures that I liked and I think they are self-explanitory.

Lastly for subject I picked a pheonix. I kinda like drawing unsual things and thought pheonix are pretty. I have never drawn one before and thought why not look up a video on how to do it. Here is a video. There is no volume.

As for the one I pick to do, well honestly I might do them all, they seem interesting.
