SELF ASSESSMENT: Processes and Procedures in the Art Room (Sample Journal Entry)

     

      While doing the tagxedo assignment on (date) May 10, 2012 I learned about the creative ways you can organize text.  On the website were different shapes you can put your text in to give it style.  The following steps were followed from the beginning to the end of the project.  First I had to open my word document so I could copy and paste into the tagxedo. Second I choose a shape to put my document into.  Lastly I copied my document into the shape changing the color, font and position. As given in the lesson I changed the shape of my text and color mode.  During this project, I was not sure about what shape to choose.  I wanted to use something that reflects Andy Warhol but I couldn’t find a shape that reflected him so I used a shape that appealed to me. At the conclusion of the lesson, my project was successful.  I feel like I did a good job. If I had more time, I would play around more with the shapes and colors.  Another way we could learn about this lesson would be to have my peers look at each other projects. Some suggestions that would help me do better with this assignment are: To see other people’s ideas and not waiting till the last minute.
