For my graphic letters, I chose to do the word "cozy." Then, for each letter, I did drawings of things that are cozy in my mind. The 'C' is for hot cocoa, the 'O' is for October, the 'Z' is for "Zzzz" and 'Y' is for yarn. This project was a good opportunity for me to practice my pen and ink skills and I enjoyed making different textures and patterns with it. If I were to do this again, I would try to make some of the drawing less messy such as the fire and the yarn.

Every since I was little, I always knew that I wanted to be a mother and have a family in my future. So, for my future self project, I drew two baby footprints and a tree on scratchboard. Also, on the truck of the tree I drew the celtic symbol for motherhood. My favorite part of this project was the crosshatching that I did to show value on the feet. If I were to add something to this project, I would drew more branched and roots and add more details to the tree in general.
This activity was extremely helpful to learn the way paints act when mixing them together. In each column I added red, yellow, blue, white, and black to all of the colors in the first column. I think I could improve some of the shades by changing the paint ratio.
After being introduced to charcoal with the kinetic drawing, we took it to the next level and drew large self portraits. For this project, I practiced using the crosshatching technique to create shadows and I wasn't afraid to erase something if I didn't like the way it looked. My favorite part about my portrait is the shadows and highlights that I was able to achieve on the face and the realistic look of the hair. However, if I were to do this again, I would try to make it look a little bit more like myself, specifically the lips and the eyes.
I worked together with Emma to make this piece and we created a butterfly with very interesting wings. This project was very fun because we could be careless with our marks and still create something that looks pretty cool. Although, I found it very difficult to mimic my partner's marks and if I were to do it again I would try to make it more symmetrical.
In this activity, I drew my face, hands, and eyes without looking at the paper. Then, I added color and texture to the drawings. I like the way that this project came out because it looks very abstract and it was also very helpful because I was able to accept imperfection
