Quarter 1
In Visual Arts class this quarter, I learned about stippling/pointillism, art elements, art principles, contour lines, continuous lines, textural lines, expressive lines, composition and others. I also learned about the history of stippling. I was interested in these topics because I've never learned them before and I like to learn new art techniques and styles. We were also given assessments to test us and I got a pretty good score in all of them.
Sample Work - Criterion A Test
Teacher's Assessment
This is my best sample work because this test comprises all the topics I learned in this quarter and I achieved a good score.
I think I did well in this sample because I was able to demonstrate the correct way to draw the lines. I was also able to write all of my ideas and thoughts clearly in the test.
I need to improve in explaining critically because mostly, I got wrong in the test because of these kinds of questions.
This sample shows inquiry because I was eager to know more about pointillism and lines. For knowledge, I clearly explained what I learned from the lessons and reflected it on my paper.

Quarter 2
In quarter 2, I learned about shapes, value/shading, isometry drawing and art principles. I did many activities regarding these topics. One activity I did was creating a presentation about art principles. I also had to create a final artwork which comprises all of the topics I learned in quarter 2. I was really interested in these topics as I improved my skills in shading and I learned the way to draw isometric shapes.
Sample Work - Final Artwork
Teacher's Assessment
This is my best sample work because I was able to apply all of the skills I learned this quarter onto this piece of work.
I think I did well because I was able to shade the objects properly and draw the objects accurately. I also made the shapes look as if it is real and 3 dimensional.
I can improve my artwork by making the background cleaner, making the transitions in tone more soft and harmonious, making the objects more proportional and making the contour line more visible.
This sample shows that I am a thinker because I was able to decide which objects will have the best combination and also lighting effect. The reason I chose this combination and lighting effect instead of the others is because this one takes up more space of the paper and there is less negative space. Another reason is that this one had the most visible transition in tone. I showed that I am a communicator because I was able to make the artwork look attractive and eye-catching by applying the skills of shading carefully. I was able to apply the shading technique of smudging correctly and I was able to show the highlight, shadow and cast shadow.
