I created a pencil drawing for fine arts. I learned to not press very hard at any given moment and that it is important to not smudge it. I learned that even if pencils have the same number, they will make a different type of mark. I learned a smaller eraser is better for erasing because it is harder to control the movements of a large eraser. The tools I used are paper, pencil, and eraser. There are several different types of paper available and each will give a different outcome. I used sketch paper. There are also many types of pencils. Pencils are numbered to let the artist know how dark the pencil lead is and how hard it is.

Our family reorganized all of our craft supplies so that it is more convenient to access them. We made a place in the school room for all types of paper as well as pencils, markers, crayons, paints, scissors, glue, tape, rulers, and art books.

I am making cards to hang in our kitchen. Each card has a food that starts with a different letter drawn on it. When I drew the carrot, I started with the orange and added brown to make it look more realistic. This taught me about color and design. With the pickle, I made the bottom darker because of the lighting and shadows at the bottom of a real pickle when you hold it in the same position.

I made a play-doh creature called Snot Nose Guy. It expresses a reminder to not have gross behavior. I have it on display in my living room where everyone who comes over can see it.
