Visual Communication- Portrait Project
What were you assigned to do?
In this project what we were assigned to do was use the pen tool and trace an image. The image had to be about a person you liked or admired but the image had to be clear and not pixilated that way it would be easier to trace it with the pen tool.

Knowledge and thinking
What I learned in this project was how to use the pen tool. The pen tool I've used it before in freshman year and I used to use a lot of points but this year I used less points and it's easy now. Another thing I learned was how to do burns and highlights in a specific area etc. Adobe Illustrator for me is harder than Photoshop because Illustrator has different tools and it just has different things in general but in the other hand Photoshop has short cuts that the Illustrator may not have.
Oral communication
While finishing the project I grew in oral communication. For our final step to finish with this project we had to make a presentation and present our good work. I presented this assignment because it was one of the best ones I've done in that class, also because I managed to use the pen tool that was required to use for this project. For me whenever I present in front of audience I get really nervous and start forgetting on what I'm going to say, but this time I did good just that my voice was a little low maybe that was because I was presenting in front of a lot of juniors and seniors that gets me even more nervous. Overall I grew in oral communication because I said everything I was supposed to say and explaining everything.
How I took ownership over my learning?
- I've taken ownership over m learning by staying afterschool and finish anything I didn't finish during the period time.
- I've done trial and error that means that I've tried many different stuff and failed or looked bad so I tried again, I never gave up
- I asked feedback from my friends
