Sidewalk Chalk Blog



For e9 our first project we got put in groups of four. We each had to choose our own symbols. Mine was a music note because music is a big part of my life but then later we decided to change it to an alto clef since I used to play the viola and I also sing alto. The other symbols were point shoes/ballet shoes, wings and a potato. All of our symbols changed a lot though. Especial one of the girls in my group. First it was a cat then a star then black lipstick then she finally chose a potato. So that made it hard to figure out an idea that all of our symbols can make one big picture.

After we finished our sketches we went outside and drew our big picture. Our big picture was a potato with wings wearing ballet shoes with an alto clef on it. First we drew our own symbol then if someone needed some help like for example the potato was the biggest thing in the picture so we asked some people if they had the same color and we helped her finish coloring in the potato.

I think we had some problems communicating because one of the girls wouldn't even consider our ideas she would always counteract with her ideas and she wouldn't let us use our own ideas and that kind of got me mad and my other group members mad too. But then we were just like who cares its not that big of a deal anyway. To improve this I would have tried to communicate better and try to let my ideas be expresses more.

Printing Process

Relief Relief printing process is when someone draws a picture into a wooden block or lithium metal. Then they use a roller that has ink all over it, then covers it with ink. Then they will put a piece of paper flat on the wooden or metal block. Then they use a roller to flatten out and press the paper on the carved block then you peel the paper off the block and then your done. You can carve the block by useing a chemical then drawing a sketch on a piece of paper then tracing it into the block with pen or sketch it out on the block and use different types of carving tools.  Intaglio This print process starts with a plate of medal which goes through a cleaning process then it gets some ground applied which is a combo of asphalt and rosin then it is spread all over the surface of the medal plate. Then the metal plate is smoked under a fire. Then the sketch gets scratched on and removes the ground with acid. Then its ready to print by using ink. Lithography This pri...

Graphic Design Final

My Favorite Projects Typography Graphic My 3rd favorite project was the typography projects. We found some of our favorite quotes that were meaningful to us and then made a graphic design out of it. The project took about 2 weeks. Some challenges I faced were just trying to find the right color schemes for each of my graphics. Some new skills I learned were how to use different types of pens to create different styles of strokes and textures. I took feedback on my color schemes. I changed the style of the spider because it did not work well when I filled it in with color. I think overall it turned out pretty well I think there is some room for improvement though.  Concert Advertising  My 2nd favorite project was the concert advertisement. What we had to do was pick an artist or musical artist and create a poster, tickets, and poster. This project took about 3 weeks. The challenges I faced were just trying to figure out how to put ever single piece of information ...

Semester 1 Final

Reflection This semester I have learned a lot. Like using Photoshop and Illustrator. I like Photoshop personally because it is a lot easier to learn and I like photography and editing my photos better than making graphics on Illustrator. My two favorite Photoshop projects have been one of the first ones we did, which is the "Nature Man" one. I also really liked the Panorama one. Nature Man For this project we were given a picture of this man and a bunch of nature pictures. We had to put them together by using clipping masks to create a "Nature man". I do not remember how long this took because we did this project at the beginning of the year. I had trouble just getting started and trying to decide what I wanted my vision for him to be. I honestly just played around with it until I made something I liked. I learned how to use photoshop a lot better like using those clipping masks to put more than 1 picture together to create just one picture. The feedback ...
