In this class, I have learned about many different methods of drawing and creating art, and how to improve my drawing ability in order to make even more interesting pictures. There are several topics that I found to be the most helpful. I found the unit that involved using value was helpful for not only that unit's project, but for all of the assignments in the following units, as well as in my personal drawings. By learning how to add value and shading to images, I was able to add more realistic details, shadows, and textures to my drawings. I have seen my own drawings improve because of this.
A second useful unit was using the colored pencils to create scenes and perspective. By blending the colors, I was able to create a variety of interesting values, and when working on the project, I was able to make what I was drawing more realistic by adding the colors I saw on the reference pictures. Perspective was an important part as well because using it can cause the image to seem like it has more depth or space, instead of being just on a flat surface. Like value, I have used perspective in some personal drawings, and while I have not used many colors yet, that may change. Overall, taking this class has improved my skills in drawing, and I hope to use what I've learned in the future.

For this assignment, we had to take two pieces of wrapped candy and draw them using pastel or colored pencils. We had to add the texture of the wrappers to the drawings as well, in order to make them seem more like the actual pictures.
For this assignment, we were required to take several pictures of eggs and pick one of them to draw. We would then shade the egg drawings with either warm or cool colors and create a background with the opposite type of colors. For my drawing, I did eggs with cool colors on a background with warm colors.
For this assignment, I had to draw and shade in a sphere and a cone on each piece of paper, using pastel sticks and pencils.
