Money tree

MISS GEORGE!

I struggled so much to get even this much painting done!
I tried on THREE computers and it wouldn't work or cooperate with me!
It too me an hour and a half to get this much ;
I'm sorry but i don't think its going to get better, i want it to be better just the program or computers aren't working with me!
I tried everyday this weekend , and I'm thankful for screen shot or i wouldn't have got this cause the 'save a picture thing wouldn't work either.

I tried to touch up the painting in photo shop.. But didn't really work well..
I'm not there on Monday because i have a dentist appointment at 2:15 and have to walk there! But I'm here on Tuesday!

Utopian Invention Design

1. Give reasons for why you think Da Vinci invented the inventions on the reverse of this sheet.
I think that Da Vinci was a very creative dreamer. I bet that he had many ideas that no one knows about yet. I think that he drew these inventions because they were things that he wanted to be able to experience, like flying. Whether by air plane or from falling and being caught by a parachute. Or his under water contraptions to be able to move freely. Or he just wanted to see what could be done and think of the unthinkable at the time and invent crazy things that would advance the world.


2. Choose one of DaVinci’s inventions, and explain why you think it has had the biggest impact on modern society.
Out of the pictures on the page, I think that the one that had the biggest impact on society is the idea of the airplane. Today, though the design is much different than the one he has drawn here with the screw propeller, the idea has advanced and now we have people flying every day all over the world at all times. Without airplanes, our world would be much different than it is now. People wouldn't be able to move from country to country as easily, we wouldn't be able to get to the other side of the world in a matter of days or a matter of hours. The invention of the airplane has advanced and changed our society so much.


My Ideas:
Money Tree- A tree that grows money for the owners use.
Cloth Folding Washer & Dryer- A machine that washes, drys and then when its done it differentiates and folds your clothing properly for you so you just have to grab it and put it in your drawers, instead of having to move from machine to machine and then fold as well.
Lanuage to Language Voice translator- a machine that takes a voice in a different language and changes it to a language in which the operator understands

BrightOwl

What I like about my piece is the tree, i absolutely love how it looks. I think that the different shades of brown  make it look realistic and the different grains make it good looking. I also like the eyes of the owl, i think they turn out great and are the best part of the owl. Another think i like is the moon, the soft look of it just makes it so the owl gets more attention. Though i really struggled with the wings i have to say i like the right one quite a bit more than i do the left. I really like all the tones and shades in the whole picture in general. Also, i love the texture on the feathers in the body. One last thing that I like is the over lapping of some of the branches towards the bottom, I think that it just adds more dimension to my art.

What i don't like about my piece is the owl. But more specifically the left wing that the tail. I don't know why, but i just don't like the look of them, i think that they could have been improved. Another thing that i don't like is the lightness of the owl, i think that i should have made it darker and added even more tone to him. Something else that i don't like is the top tree branches how they have a bit of a white/light outline on them, i think that this makes them look out of place almost I didn't notice them though until i posted it here. A last thing that i don't like is the area around the claws, I think that i should have made them a little less fuzzy looking and added more of a feather texture to them.

This is art because it has all the different aspects that make things art. It has tone, texture, colour, hightlights, etc.. Art isn't always just categorized by being something done on paper or canvas, the computer file was my canvas. Painting this on the computer would be the same as if i painted it on a canvas with paint. Art is creativity and expression and doing it on the computer is just another way of expression. Art doesn't have to be physical like on paper. That is why this computer painting is art, just because its on the computer doesn't mean it isn't art, blending and colours are still used.
