Out of all the mini lessons the charcoal object was the hardest because it was tough to know where to shade and highlight with it being my first time using charcoal. I did like how you cant really mess up with charcoal; it's always a easy fix. I think the easiest mini lesson was the Forced Perspective Photos because it was great to see new ideas and I had a blast picking up items and making them large or very small.
Developed My Art Making Skills-
I learned how to shade my drawings with pencil and in other mediums and also highlight it. It was interesting to find out how little things can make objects seem more realistic. I thought it was harder to make a round object seem more real than other things I've learned but I think I've got the hang of it now.
Reflect-
When looking up close at a project that I've done it may look right but taking a step back and having someone hold it up I saw a few things. When the piece got farther away you could seem more easily how to fix the simply things like if someone thing wasn't poportional or shading/highlighting in specific areas. I would also tell if different values of a color could be put in.
