Kendall's Two in One


6. Artists solve problems. 
  When i first started working on my two in one i tried coming up with different ideas that i thought were creative, but as the days went by i noticed that other people started having the same idea with the globe inside the eye. So i tried to think outside of the box and then i tried to make it unique and different than everyone elses, so that s when i drew the apple inside the eye(as a pun), but then i realized i was that good at drawing eyes so i decided to try something else. 





4. Artists take risks. 
When i decided to change my idea and try something else i started using pinterest for some ideas and thats when i came across a picture of a pear and a light bulb. When i saw the light bulb i tried to think of things i could do to make the light bulb stand out and i tried to make it different than the ones i've seen on pinterest. so thats when i came across the idea of a light bulb and a hot air balloon.





2.  Artists develop art making skills. 
 After i came across the idea of doing a light bulb and a hot air balloon i started working on it and i tried to remember some of the artistic things i learned and then i tried to apply it to my picture such as using value. I tried to use value in my grass by making the green go from light to dark. Then i tried to use value in my light bulb but then i realized it wouldn't look good so i just gave up on that. But over all i really like my art piece and im proud of what ive done.

Kendall's zentangle


5. Artists collaborate.
For my zentangle I tried to be as creative as possible  but at times I kept having problems figuring out what to do next. At my table Nivi and I shared some of our ideas together and we used some of the same designs that we both thought of. I also asked Christie for some help about some of the little things I had to do and then all of us talked about how we could make ours a little bit better.





7. Artists reflect.
As I was working on my zentangle I kept looking back a couple of times to see if I could improve or do something differently to make it look better. Every time I looked at it I knew that I could do something to make it look different than other peoples. When I stopped for a second and realized what I was doing I felt proud of myself for trying new things and doing designs and patterns that probably wouldn't have done before. When I read all of the critiques that my classmates wrote about my zentangle it made me feel extra proud of myself because of all the nice things they said.



1. Artists create original art.
Before I started my Zentangle I had to think about the choices I had to make such as what shape/outline I could do or if I wanted to use colored pencil or sharpie. I wanted mine to be different than other peoples sop I had to really think about it. For my inspiration I just thought of things I liked so that's how I came across the flower, and for the zentangle part I just googled different zentangles and used some of the ones I found for inspiration.
