This is the link to my slideshow.
My slideshow is about Les jardin château de versailles (the garden of the palace of versailles). Three goals I completed while writing this assignment are focusing on detail, researching in french, and writing sentences about something while describing it in french. I learned about how the subway system worked and how the lines connected. There are colored lines that go from one side of the map to another. Along the lines there are different subway stops. Each color represents a different line, it is very similar to our subway system. The seine river passes through the middle of the map, so a subway stop can either be on le rive gauche (the left side of the river), or le rive droite (the right side of the river). In this project I learned a lot about describing objects in sentences, and using adjectives. My favorite part of this project was drawing different parts of the garden, and learning about the history of people who went there.
Grid Self Portrait
My piece is named Grid Self portraits. I created this work of art by drawing different grid self portraits then coloring them in different ways. We colored them all in except for one, so if we messed up we could photo copy that one and use it. The different ways we could color them in were with colored pencil, pencil and blender, chalk pastel, oil pastel, foam plate printing, watercolor, and ink and brush. I choose oil pastel, colored pencil, and watercolor. Something I learned from this project was how to use the different materials I used to color in my pictures. I also learned how to use a grid and to use on my drawing. My favorite part was using watercolor to color in my drawing. If I could choose something to change I would change it so all my drawings looked more similar. Some of them look different from the others. While making it I was surprised how much drawing a grid and using it could help proportions. It was very fun to make the different drawings and experiment with new materials. Something I would like to share about my piece is that it was very fun to make the different drawings and experiment with new materials.
