Cave Painting Project Reflection

The title of the unit was Cave painting. I got started on this unit by watching a video, searching up different types of native symbols and then making a sketch. The media and skills I used throughout the unit was dry media and then doing it on the brown paper with charkol and pastel. I used the media and skills good by having symbols that I know the meaning to make a story and mixing in the charkol with other colors.I didn't find any difficulty in the art project. It was easy and fun. The type of elements i used during this unit was color,space,and line. I used lines when drawing the village, people, suns rays and the eagle. I used color throughout almost the whole drawing and used space by separating the drawings so they weren't so close such as the eagle and people. I didn't use any different compositional arrangements before producing the final work. My final media was produced in brown paper. My art work was two dimensional. I was happy with my final work because it represented a story, was colorful and I had fun doing it. I enjoyed the project because I got to kind of experience something like what the Native Indians did and it was fun. None of my art skills have improved yet. A new skill that I learned was mixing colors and by having a color be dark in a drawing and then having a part of it light. To have improved my artwork I could have mixed in different colors inside of the eagle instead of making it all brown. *cave art was created a long time ago *it is still found today on rocks *shows something that was important to the Indians *the drawings aren't all together in a line *mixed in colors *having a color be dark and light *we still don't know all of the meanings to the Native Indians symbols

What is going to be your signature you leave behind?

Art is important in history and culture because you get learn about the different things that happened a long time. You get to see what they thought or to do such as sacrifice a person since it was their belief in their culture. How they dressed and what they were scared of. You also get to learn about the special things that happened to them whether it was from killing a bison and using its skin as clothes or anything else that was important to them. If I were to leave a cave painting behind the symbols I would use was when I was born. I would use people symbols with foods and a party to represent when I turned 5 and how much fun I had. When i got my first bird and whem my first tooth fell out.

what is Art?

Art is a drawing created by a person to show something or to make you feel a certain way about something. I think art is important to humans and in different cultures because it shows your feelings through drawings, and the different things they do in that culture.So it helps them express themselves. An arist I know about is Leonardo da Vinci. He has drawn the Mona Lisa and last supper and the type of drawings he does is realist style.
