My Genius Hour project is art and why I chose this project is because I’m pretty good at sketching and I wanted to go further with this talent. At first I wasn’t so sure because there were so many ideas in my head of what to do my project on but then I thought I should just focus on this one skill for now and since it’s my passion I should express it. Also, I wanted to inspire other people to follow their passion and if you’re good at something, I think you should go further with it and go for it just like I’m doing in this project.
The steps I’m using: First off, I’ll go shop for supplies and ask people who know stuff about art so they can help me on my project. After that, I’ll look for resources that’ll give me ideas for my sketches or any other type of art style. Then, I will use those ideas for my drawings and to do something other than just sketching (such as paintings, crafts, etc.) Finally, I’m going to go deeper into my project to show to the world and I will start a blog and write about my journey in Genius Hour and do a gallery for my sketches. So, those are my steps for round one!
I have gotten support from the art teacher in my school and she supplied me with poster paper, watercolor paints, painting sponge, and paintbrushes.
The end product was to share my art with world and I did that with a blog in which I have put my sketches, paintings, and crafts in the gallery. It’ll provide the facts of why I’m doing this and how it’s going to make a difference.
The successes of the process was that I found really great resources that provided information on what to in order to make your art be more appealing, such as, drawing a little lightly so it would look a little more professional and realistic. If you draw dark, it’ll make your sketch look not so great.
The problems I faced were that I couldn’t find that many supplies as I was hoping for and it kind of ruined an idea I was thinking of.
The thing’s I’d do differently next time are that I’ll think twice about what I’m doing so I won’t make a mistake and turn my project off task. Also I will try to do something more big than just blogging and doing art.
What I’m doing for the next round of Genius Hour will probably be selling some art pieces to others on my blog or in real life and making it a little better with final touches so it’ll look more appealing to others. I’ll ask others to help me find people who are interested in buying art.
