Everything Old is New Again

For our final project theme, students were asked to visit their Artsonia portfolios and select a past work they would like to revisit. In doing so, they had to demonstrate an improvement of skill, understanding, or (ideally) both in the process. 

This is probably my most favorite of themes because it is interesting to see what students choose and read why they did. I also appreciate the use of skills to demonstrate their new-found understandings, abilities, and decisions for how they want to make art. 

Here are a few of the reworked ideas from the past:
Picture
Alayna: I remade the free-day artwork that I made a few years ago at Nickels. I chose to revisit this artwork because I knew that I could put more work into this project than I did the first time, and I also knew that I should put more patterns into the circle-like-hills that I had drawn for this project than just the regular colors I had done the first time. One of the things I did different this time was I painted patterns into the circles instead of just a solid color. Another thing I did differently this time was that I drew out the circles and painted them in, and afterwards I cut out the circles and glued them onto a headband. I really wanted to be different in the media I used, and I am very glad that I chose to revisit this design and improved.
Picture
Matt: This artwork shows a lot of improvement from the artwork I chose to make better for many reasons. First of all, it shows improvement because my first artwork is random and does not use any artist techniques, it is just random. Now this video is better because I used a Julian Opie technique to create a cool looking portrait that looks like the people are cartoon characters. I chose to redo my prior art because I knew I could do better on it and I enjoy doing artwork that deals with people and portraits.
Picture
Lindsey: My artwork is an improved version of a 5th grade piece that we traced in class. But this I made a new background and I made it 3d with is a skill I have learned this year. I also freehanded this drawing and I used a splatter background which is a amazing technique I learned his year.

Matthew:I decided to re-do project theme 2. During that project, I envisioned the change of seasons and how it affected what we as humans do for fun (snowboarding, hiking, etc). So when I decided to re-do this project, I thought about the the Photoshop skills I had learned. I made a GIF or an animated image of the Earth changing seasons. I DID NOT use any images from Google. This piece is all from scratch. I feel the reason I wanted to revisit project theme 2 is that during that time, I was having fun snowboarding. Now, I am wake boarding. It made me think about the change of seasons. I think that this piece is really cool!
Picture
Josh: i choose a panda because pandas are my favorite animal. i recreated this but the first time i made something like this was in 5th grade. plus i picked these colors because they really stand out.
Picture
Nolan: For the last project theme of the year I made a rainbow salmon jumping out of water to improve my 5th grade king salmon. In this piece of of art I used a ultra thin black sharpie to outline some shapes. I also used many different colored pencils. With the colored pencils I made shades of different color. This is a new and improved piece of art because instead of just having the king salmon just stay in one spot, the rainbow salmon is jumping out of the water making the water ripple and fly every where. This relates to me because my whole family loves to fish. We have a cottage and a cabin that we go to many times a year. I made a rainbow salmon because I love to catch rainbow trout and I have always wanted to go king salmon fishing. I wanted to revise my 5th grade water color fish painting because I thought it would be cool to make a unreal fish jump out of the water. I also wanted to make a revision because I thought that it would be the easiest to make it look 10 times better.
Picture
Ella: The work that I created is a cup of hot chocolate made of felt. In 5th grade we had to paint a picture of a person holding a cup of hot chocolate, so what I did to improve my work and I created a larger and 3D like version of the cup that my girl was holding. The reason why I did this piece was because In 5th grade when I did the painting I felt like I didn't try hard enough to make it good so I wanted to make it better and be more creative.

I love them all! Ella's hot chocolate is beautiful. The felted sculpture is so sweet.

Thank you for the feedback! I will make sure to share with Ella. This project is always an interesting one to end the term on and I am really pleased with the results.
