Exam Questions
Required Question (this will have more than 10 sentences):
- Choose a project that you felt was challenging but yet successful. The project should incorporate innovative solutions to the artistic problem given to you. By this I mean how creative, original, mature, innovative were your ideas to develop into the successful piece that answers all the requirements for the project and beyond. We have had many projects that have explored this creative way of brainstorming, sketching, planning compositions and ending with final product. In our “Look at that View” perspective project you had to draw something original from an interesting point of view. You also had to utilize many graphite application techniques, shading, line, lighting, textures, etc. Other projects were Opacity/Transparency, Scratchboard showing texture, movement and contrast, Self-portraits, plus others. When you have chosen the project you feel best fits this question take pictures of all your brainstorming ideas, sketches (development stages) from your sketchbook that led up to final decision and product and post them with this response. Discuss how you generated innovative/original/creative ideas for the project and how you developed them to complete your final piece. How did you think outside the box and challenge yourself as well as the restraints of the project.
