Student Task: Journal Reflection Questions
Independent Student Journaling Task:
- Please answer only one question from each section in your Sketchbook/google doc; record the questions first followed by your answers/sketches.
- Please use historical art evidence to back up your answers when possible.
Realism in art
"Ramon kept trying to make his drawings look right."
- What was Ramon trying to do? What do you think “look right” means?
- Are there some drawings/paintings/designs or artwork that you like that doesn’t “look right”?
- Does art have to “look right” (look exactly like the object the person is trying to draw, paint, sculpt) for it to be considered “good”?
Perfection and improvement
- Do you ever feel like you have to make or do things that are perfect?
- Are you ever done improving something that you want to be better? Why or why not?
- Can something that is considered perfect be improved? Why or why not? Give examples.
Enjoyment as motivation
- What impact did Ramon’s brother and sister have on his enjoyment of making his drawings?
- Do you ever create work/artwork that you did not enjoy? Give examples.
- Is something worth doing if you don’t enjoy yourself? Why or why not?
- What are some other reasons you might do something, aside from the enjoyment it gives you?
Emotion and creativity
- What feelings do you think Ramon had while he was trying to make his drawings “look right” after his brother laughed at him?
- How would you feel if someone made a negative comment about your art? A positive comment? How would this affect how you make your art?
- Is making art when you are feeling angry or sad the same as making art when you are feeling inspired, creative, or happy? Why or why not?
Goals of doing
"Leon burst out laughing. ‘What is that?’ he asked"
- Is there anything you enjoy doing that either you or other people don’t think you are very good at?
- Is something worth doing if you cannot be perfect at it?
- Is it a good goal for someone who loves to draw to try and make his or her drawings “look right” or perfect? Why or why not?
