PROJECT #4-REFLECTION BLOG AND SLIDE

Conducting the project
In order to do this project, I first looked at the same projects from previous semesters and this gave me an idea of what to include in my project. I then decided to do the first step of this project which were to watch the four videos for this project and then responded to the questions that were posted in Module 13 and 14. The third thing I did in order to complete this project was picking a theme. The theme that I came up with is "animals" because I have 5 animals of my own (2 cats, 2 turtles and 1 dog). Now that I had gotten the idea of what to include in my presentation, I opened the website "AskArt" and opened a new tab for Google. For the Google tab, I typed in famous animal artworks and chose 15 random artworks shown in Google. For the    "AskArt" website, i typed in the artist names of the famous animal art paintings that I found in Google and got their information from the "AskArt" website and placed it in my presentation. As I was doing the art project, I included a 2 sentence description of the artwork itself, the analysis (the elements used for the art), my interpretation of the artwork and an explanation on why I chose those particular art pieces. 

Reflection:
My reflection towards this project was that it went pretty smoothly. The only rocky part that I had doing this project was coming up with elements that were used inside of this artwork and my interpretation. I did not have a problem with making the designing of the slide because I was very color coordinated with the particular text such as the media, size, artist name and year of the artwork; I was also coordinated with the text, meaning that I only used Arial Narrow for the whole thing and going more in depth with the text, I bold the names of the artist and used big font with the shadow feature for the title of each art piece. I wanted to put a border for each picture, but I couldn't because the Powerpoint slide was too small and if I were to do that, then the text next to and beneath the picture will get messed up.
