RACASEA MAP

Picture
    There are many ways in which a person can reflect who it is, by describing its life, its likes and dislikes. One of  the ways are by showing in a map. The map that I created included many things. It include when my birthday is, it is in October 24, and I am 15 years old. I love dogs, and my first one was named Pluto, so cute. I love my family, their are one of the reasons of my existence, we are 6 members in the family. Andrea, Bernarda, and Francisco are my siblings. My favorite child hood memory was going to Dinsey with my family. My favorite place to go in vacation is the beach, i love it with all my heart. The favorite to do with my friends is spend together either talking, eating, dancing or watching a movie but just being with them I love it. My favorite family tradition it is Christmas because we are all together and more unify and we love to exchange things and share with each other. My favorites memories with all of my family, was when we used to go to the beach all together and we all had a very great time. I am a soccer player, and I am talented to play it. I love to practice it and to have soccer games and it is my favorite sport. I am fanatic of "Liga Deportiva Universitaria", Liga the best team in Ecuador and America´s top champion. It is called as "Rey de Copas" which means the cups kings. I lvoe to watch their games, I go to all of them and I love to sing the team songs, i love it. My favorite subject in school is Art becaOne use I really love to design things and to express drawing my likes and the things that I love. The other subject which I like the most is sports because I love to practice them and to do lots of exercise. My favorite food is sushi but I do not use to eat it all the time. of my favorite school memory was in 6th grade when we went to a trip with all my classmates. I had so much fun, and it was my first time I went to a trip like that, I loved it and I'll keep that memory for ever. We are 18 best friends. We are named HBP and I really love each one of them with all my heart. My life surrounds in them. I love music, I heart it all the day and I love every type of music, mostly spain music, it is extraordinary. There are three things which I am proud from my past: That I had won many troffics in soccer, past with my family threw bad and difficult moments to good moments. The last thing which I am proud of is about being who puts all the effort to improve in school and grades. The goals that I have for the future are to have good grades, to make new and good friends and be a better person and the last thing is to go to a great university which is perfect for me and for the carrier that I want to follow and that is going to guide my life and futuring.

    This map seemed to be difficult, but it result to be easier than what I thought it would be. It was easier because I could describe my life how it is, what I like, what I dislike and the things that I love and appreciate. I loved doing this because in this way I could know myself more than  what I thought I already know. I drew each of the things by how they are and some of them were invented by me so I represented by how I thought everybody would understand them, and naming them it helped to indentify a lot. I named it Racasea, because that is the way I related my name and my last name, I thought that will be the best and short way to name it. Also, that is one of my nick names and this map is guided by a sea. This sea, represents me and who I am. The first step I did of this map was make a draft with what each icon of my map means and with a drawing that it could represent it as what it is. After making the draft, I began doing the final one. First I drew everything with pencil, then I began painting them with paintings, and it was very difficult but cool to do it. After that I start naming all of them so that It could be easier to understand in a cheepier way. After that, I made my singnature and a key so that everyone could follow my map without any problem or difficulty. It was something very attractive and funny to do.


HALF-PORTRAIT FACE

Picture
        The half-portrait art thing, consists in reflecting myself in another way. I took a picture of  mine and cut it in the hald. I drew the half of my face and I learned how to draw each part of  my face, even it is not perfect. I learned how to make designs, how to organize and to make a face as the best as I could. It was something that I put a lot of effort. While i was doing it, I did not take in mind that I was making it good but my face looked twice bigger that what it is. When I realized this, I had to make it again and change every little detail which I put it effort to make it. After I did it again, I learned how to do it and then it worked out. The parts which I lasted the most drawing was doing the eye because it was or bigger than the other or even little. I spend much time doing the earing and the scarf which I liked the most of all the portrait. It looked very similar as how it is. I liked doing this type of work because in that way I can learn more about my face of what I know. I realized every single and little detail of mine. 

        This project was the one I love doing it the most. Was one of the ones that took more time. I did not used it wisely, because every time, every class I spend a lot of time in little details and not in the next step. The second thing more difficult of drawing my face was the nouse, because I could not see very good in the other half of the face so it was difficult to coincide it. One of the other things I find it difficult were the shades in each part of my face. Either more darkness of lighting. I had so much fun doing it and I joined all the classes doing it.


ABSTRACT DRAWING

Picture
            This project was about making and drawing knew things, and all the forms that we can, following instruccions. It was very cool because It was somethings creative and attractive. I spend not so much time doing this, and this time, I took my time wisely to finish it. It was a very interesting way of making by painting all differently and in a very imaginative way of doing things. With every type of figure, it can create whatever design you want and which you like the most. I used it all the colors that I could, combining them and making them to fix perfect the one to the other. After making all the figures I made a black border so that It looks preetier.

        The most dificult part was drawing the designs because sometimes by following the instruccions. I thought it will be difficult fitting them all the figures or that I make some ones bigger or little and then it does not fits good.  Also another way very difficult was making the analogous color way because I had to do it perfectly with all the tones. The hardest part also was making the little dots because they are very little and very hard to do. It was something very hard and funny to do, and to create sesings.
