1.What did you start with?
In the very beginning, I started with a very beginner design, I mainly started with shares like petals squares and rectangles.I mainly followed the characteristics of the assignment but, I found it quite hard in the beginning as it was something that I never did before, I first didn't really have much idea but then I attempted drawing something in the beginning.With the help of the usual guidelines, I got to abacus drawing.However, with the help of the guidelines from my teacher I was able to come up with a good design for the assignment.
2. What did you do next?
After I completed my first draft of my design for the assignment, I went and took some feedback from my etcher.From the feedback, I decided to draw a new one but the same design, however, I would develop the feedback that she gave me into it so then I could go to the next step.Oe major thing I had to change was the petals and she suggested that if I made them straight lines than it would be so much better.Another thing is that A piece of feedback was that I needed to make sure that all the details in the piece were equal to each other to make it accurate but also presentable and majorly detailed with shapes making a smooth appearance to the piece altogether.
3. Why did you choose that (brush/color/pencil)?
After I did the two drafts for my design, I started choosing the color schemes that I thought would go well together so that I would color the piece.I started making different combinations, I had three different combinations that I wanted to choose from at the end.For the colors, I also used my teacher's help.I had a warm combination, a summer combination and then I had a combination with both color types.At the ned, after attempting we saw that the best combination of the design was the summer and warm combination was fit for it.For the brush, I used a thin brush and a smooth one due to how I wanted it to be neat as when the brush is smaller and thinner it is easier to control when it comes to coloring also, as I wanted to make my trial combinations clear in color.I also used a thin shape pencil as it made the drawing extremely neat.
4. Why didn’t you choose a different (brush/color/pencil)?
For my design the reason I didn't choose a thick pencil it would have made the pice look extremely not neat or even tidy due to how it would have been thick making it also not look very presentable.The reason I didn't choose a thick and rough brush was that it wouldn't be as neat as painting would not be as controlled and may cause in me painting out of the lines but also when it comes to trying it will not be clear of the brush is rough and thick.For the colors, the reason I didn't use the warm color combination or the vibrant color combination was that one was too bright and the other felt too dull and didn't have a variety of colors, also, each one felt like it was missing a color to just make the piece as good as it can be in terms of color but also so that it fits the criteria of the type of design.
5. What problems did you encounter?
I encountered multiple problems throughout the whole process.One of the problems that I encountered was that when I was drawing my details were not accurate in my first draft of the design.Other than that another problem that I faced was when I was seeing what each thing would be colored was that I wasn't able to easily decide what each shape should be what color.Another problem that occurred multiple times was not all the colors of the palettes were similar so each lesson I would've to spend the time to find the color that I used the lesson before it.The same issue happened with the brushes as most of the class used thin brushes so they would finish quickly and it would take me a long time to find a brush that I should use for the piece.
6. How did you solve them?
The way that I solved the issue of not having accurate shoes was that I measured the squares inside the grid and divided them equally by my shoes and used a ruler to draw all my shapes equal to each other.For my issue of seeing what each shape in the pice should be colored as, I numbered them and tried each door in the shape and since I had 4 different shapes I used 4 colors so that each share would have a color and whatever was next to each other I would make sure the colors complimented each other and didn't ruin the appearance of the piece.For my issue of the palettes and the brushes, I would sometimes share palettes with others if I didn't have the color I needs.For the brushes, I tried to not waste time and make sure to be able to get a brush as quickly as possible so that I got one I wanted and if I didn't I would swap brushes with people every now and then during the lesson.
7. Were their issues you couldn’t solve?
There were very minimal issues that I couldn't solve.There were only one or two as most of the time all the issues had a solution.One issue which didn't have result was that in my final I had to remove a part of my piece as it codlin fit at all dos I had to include it form my piece leaving a part of my piece not included.Other than that I believe that I didn't really have an issue that I couldn't solve.
8. What is working well and why?
I believe that most of the process and the results of each step were quite good and was going well.One of the rings that went well was that I was able to think if a design but after many trials.A second thing that also went well in the process was that my teacher was able to help me a lot which really helped make my process even easier.Something else that worked well was that the second draft for my piece looked really nice and actually exceeded my expectations of its appearance as it was my first time doing it.Also, after trying the combination, the color combination that I chose turned out be really well.
9. What isn’t working well and why?
I believe that even though most of the things through the process went well I think that some things didn't really go well throughout the process.One of the things that didn't go well was that I found it hard to think of a design so it took me a long time to start drawing.Another thing that also didn't go well was that when I painted my brush strokes appeared due to how I wasn't extremely good at painting os in the piece my strokes lightly appear from my brush.Something else that didn't go well was that after doing my design I saw that it wasn't as creative as I wanted it to be and it wasn't as detailed, the reason for that was that when I researched I found much better things than my design so I slightly improved my design in the final like making it more accurate so it could be more accurate and have more details to make it more complex in appearance.
10. What did you learn in this piece that you can apply to the next?
From this assignment doing this piece, I learned things like different artistic skills and things like styles and color combinations.One thing that I learned for the first time was how to draw a piece like this which was a geometric arab piece, I learned the different folds of this type of art.A second thing that I also learned was how to make accurate shapes by calculating the width and divide it by the shapes that you are drawing so that each shape is an equal measurement to the rest of he owns next to it so the appearance is neat and also acquirers in detail. Other than that I also learned was how to use a T scale which is used to make you liens perfectly straight I also learned how to use a water brush where the brush would have water inside if it so the watercolor would be good quality when painting.This time was my first time learning how to make color combinations and how to see what Colors match together for a piece.Another thing I learned was how to use shores to put them in a way and an angle so that they form an appropriate Islamic piece.Meanwhile, I learned about art in Islamic and the history of its use, also where it is used nowadays like mosques. Lastly and most importantly I learned a new style of art and how to use simple skills like show drawing and painting to compose an appropriate piece.
To conclude, I believe that is have done well in his assignment and that my result was very appropriate and presentable.However, I still think that I could improve but, I have benefitted a lot from this assignment as I have learned a lot artistically but also found it really enjoyable.
