Symbolic Map
This Map consisted on creating your most important events on your life. We had to express this events by making symbols of them that relate with what had occur. With this symbols we had to create a country, province, island or continent that represented all of them in it. The project also consisted on painting it with watercolors. The goal of this project was learning the idea of symbolic art, and knowing how to use different techniques of watercolors.
On this project I think I did a great job, I enjoyed creating this map that made me learn to different techniques of art. At the beginning of the project we did the symbols, in that part I stressed a little because I didn't know how exactly to connect events to a symbol, but later on I found out that symbols are connected to all of the events. Drawing the map and putting all the symbols into it was easy, I did it really fast though some drawing didn't exactly fit where I wanted them to be. Then the part of watercolors began I enjoyed so much painting the big areas I used almost all the techniques my teacher showed us. The little parts where really difficult to paint because the brush made the paint go all over it and the symbols didn't exactly shown as I wanted them to be. But with a lot of attention I did a good job painting the little symbols. I had a great time creating this project and I think I did a really good job.

My Face Proportion
This project consisted on drawing the other half of your face. First our teacher took a photo of us and printed so that all of us had our picture. Then we had to cut it in half in the way we wanted but it had to be vertical not horizontal. With the half of the photo we had to paste it on other paper so that we could draw the other half of our face. The goal of this project was to apply the techniques of face proportion we had learned.
In this project I did a good job, but not exactly what I wanted it to be. I'm not so good at drawing so I stress a lot when I draw because it is not what I wanted it to look. I started to draw and I did a good job with the hair and making sure everything was in the exact place it should be. Later on the details was what I had a really difficult time because my skills of drawing are not so good. In the end I did a better job that what I think I normally do, so I was proud of myself.

Collage of My Life
This project consisted on making a collage of my life. We had to use different textures to express this collage. It could be pictures, drawings, images from a magazine, clothes, etc. that connected to our life. We had to bring pictures from home, look on magazines and later cut them an put it on our sketch book. At the end of the project we had to make a paragraph explaining what all of the drawings/pictures mean to us. The goal of this collage was to show our teacher some things of our life and also to learn how to do a good collage.
I had a great time doing this project and I wish I could sometime redo it and enjoy it as I did the first time. Finding the pictures on the magazines was really easy, because I found pictures of blackberry and also of massages which I love both. Then I went home and took pictures from my family and my cousin that are the most important people in my life. To use other technique I paint with colors my favorite color which is purple. This project was easy and fun to do. The paragraph we did was emotional to do, but I did also a good job. This collage was really fun to create.
