1. When working on the accordion book I learned that you can demonstrate principles and elements of art.I learned that artists uses these concepts to create a work of art. All art is displayed differently, and what may not look good to others may just be as creative and personal. I also learned it is good to make positive comments and not hurt peoples feelings. I was informed of this when I was evaluating another classmates blog.
2. What I found enjoyable about the project was the students had a choice about the way they wanted to create their accordion books. There were some limitations to the project but mostly the thoughts and ideas flowed through the students mind. I believe creativity was key and taking the time out to think of ways to add your own style was what I also enjoyed about the project. I liked the poem I made for the book , it described the elements and principles in a new form. I found that to be exciting as I wrote down words and added several other elements and principles.
3. What I found challenging about the project was how I had to incorporate all the elements and principles of art. With most people I had to come up with a way to display those concepts, at first I was confused as to how I should start the project. Thoughts didn't flow through my mind when thinking of a design and that was hard to do. Adding more colors and shapes to my book was also challenging, and thinking of ways to make my book look nice. I didn't want to add too many items to the project I did not want it to be unsatisfactory.
4. If I were to make another book I would change my design, instead of using small shapes such as squares and rhombuses. I would make larger ones that stand out, I believe that would look better. I will most definitely use different color paper. I'll use warm colors such as orange and scarlet red. That would make the new book more interesting and exciting, I feel that I would be more fascinated with the project.
The accordion book was a project that I was not familiar with at first but during the process I enjoyed spending time on it. While making the book I "connected" with it and made it my own, I'm happy that the project turned out for the good.
Comment #4: Deanna I agree that for the most part their was no limits on what you could do to your book. All that was required was that we had to make sure we used all the elements and principles of art. I really liked your book it was different. You had alot of small shapes further as big and small. Even though you said that at first you didn't know what you were going to do, your book still came out good. Sometimes artists don't know what they are about to create they just go with the flow and create something amazing.
