Name Design

The first project we did in art was our name design. We had to draw our name in a creative way. I took a lot of steps; here they are:
First we had an ideation, where we drew four ideas for a name design. Here, we just got our basic ideas out.

Then, we chose our favorite, and drew a full sized rough draft.

You might notice some paint which was where I tested different medias for my final. But my next step was to trace my draft onto another piece of paper. After testing the medias, I made my final. I chose water color for the buildings in the back so they looked plain and fit as a background and I also used water color for the sky so that the sky could fade. For my name, I chose color pencil so I could blend and have a wholesome look. After all that, this is what my final looked like:

My favorite part of this assignment was how we got to go through a lot of different steps so that we could really take our time and turn out with a great, unique product. I enjoyed choosing the medias because it required a lot of thought and you had to imagine how it would make the final piece look. I was really proud of this project, specifically how I chose media and color. 

A challenging part for me was brush control, and I think it's something I can work on for next time. I think this because I went out of the lines while using water color. It was also a challenge to be specific while making the full sized rough draft, but I think they turned out pretty well because I made specific details.
