Art: Reflection

On the last day of school which is today we had been given a sheet with questions related to our experience with art. 

1. What did you find most challenging about the print design process?

A. Drawing Thumbnail sketches
B. Drawing a Final A5 Design
C. Transferring the image to the lino
D. Cutting the Lino with Gouges
E. Printing even Quality Prints

I found Drawing a final A5 design hard because I didn't know what really to draw and I had to think about if it was good when cut out on the lino and then printed.

2. What did you find most challenging about the painting composition process??

A. Drawing Thumbnail Sketches
B. Composing a Final Drawing for A3
C. Developing a colour scheme with three main colours
D. Mixing Colour or Mixing Lighter and Darker Tones
E. Applying Colour to the Paper

I found Drawing Sketches and painting hard because it's the same for cutting since you need something that's good for painting like having lots of colours and space but I just went with something simple or else I'll need a lot of colours.

3. What mistake did you make that taught you something?

Never draw in colouring pencils, I found out it can't be rubbed out easily like pencil

4. What was the most successful about your work?

The most successful thing about my work was it kind of was easy to cut on the lino.

5. What could I do to improve my work?

I could practice by trying more advanced stuff than the basics.

English: Merchant of Venice - Act Three, Scene Three




Act Three, Scene Three

1. Antonio believes that Shylock wants to claim his bond is because he gives money to people that haven't payed their loans to Shylock.

2. Because apparently it threatens the security of foreign merchants in Venice.

3.  I think it's because he doesn't care what happens to him and Shylock keeps on insisting claiming his bond.

4.  I think Antonio has a bit of hate towards Bassanio because he says "I hope to God that Bassaino comes to see me pay his debt" It's kind of phrase with no kindness in it

5. 
-Mercy isn't really the same as forgiveness because mercy is where you forgive them but not fully forgive them while forgiveness is which you just forgive them fully.

-   It kind of depends on the situation if someone did something that you really hated you wouldn't forgive them but search for revenge so it really depends on how big the deal is.

- I think so because justice is the same thing as fairness since justice is where you do something you believe is morally right, and fairness is in justice

- I believe Shylock will have justice unless something like a law or something interferes.
