Watercolor Techniques From 
My Investigation Workbook (IWB)

This project was the wash techniques using watercolor. We use wet watercolor pigment in a variety of different ways. One technique that we did was the graded wash – this technique you make the top dark and then in the bottom is much lighter.



This page is from the same project.  On this page I have the salt techniques where after I paint the card I put salt in the surfaces with the paint still wet – in the end it creates a modeled texture.


This is the last page techniques from the project. On this page I have the masking tape  wash,.  With this process I put tape in some parts of the card and then I paint the box around the tape. When the paint was dry I remove the tape to reveal an untouched lower layer.

           This project was about writing about a memory that I remember and that was an important day for me and the other main character in the story. I wrote about my uncle wedding which was a day I will never forget. I wrote the story from my point of view which was easy because I just wrote why the day was so important to me and all the details I remember.
This part is my uncle's point of view. I had to write the story in the perspective from him. It wasn't easy trying to write the story but it turned out great. I had to interview him asking him questions of that special day in order to write the story from his perspective.

This was a Spanish project was about drawing an ugly monster. We had to describe how they were looking. My monster had three eyes, two noses, fourth teeth, eight arms, and six legs. We also had to present our monster to the rest of the class.

This reflection is about all the work we choose for our portfolio. I had to write about all of them, why am proud of that work, and if i had the importunity to do the project again what would I change. In the last paragraph I wrote about how this portfolio shows my how I am as a learned over all.
