For this unit I learned to make art with my limitations. At first it was kinda tough, but I eventually got the hang of it. For the pre assessment we had to make a newspaper structure. I'm sort of an engineer so I was pretty excited. But the combination of compromising with others and a certain someone stealing all of our supplies, made it very difficult. The limitations forced you out of your comfort zone which in turn made it not so bad to mess up. For instance, one time I experimented with painting. However, I couldn't use my hands. This made my art look horrible in my opinion, but then I remembered I did it with my mouth. This has also showed that i can do whatever I want with my art and still make it good.
For this limitation, I had to use newspaper. I decided that I would make a blackout poem, but instead of making the words mean something, u turned it into a picture. At first, I thought I wouldn't be able to do that. I draw by looking at individual lines. This made me think of the big picture. I was eventually able to do it by not showing much detail.
This project was made with Pointillism, drawing with only dots. This was also hard because I couldn't look at each individual line. I had to study the shading and draw from there. I had to go back in with sharpie to get a lot of the places darker.
