Dbui Figure Drawing

My figure drawing consist of Jamie side. At first the drawing was hard because I didn't know how to draw the features and the body from the side. I like the side profile because it captures her face well. My favorite part was using charcoal because drawing with that was really messy and fun. I really like drawing side profiles because it captures the profile really nicely. The side profile turned out really nicely because it captures all of the model features nicely. The patterns that appear in the image are squares and circles and rectangles appear throughout the picture. Everything was new to me because I never had art in my old school. The teal was my favorite to use because it adds brightness to the pictures. The color teals add brightness , color , and brightness to the picture.

Clear Object Drawing

my favorite tool was the black charcoal because i had fun coloring with it. the best material that we used had to be the paper because the way the black charcoal went on it and was able to erase off of it was to cool. the best part about art is even if you don't know how to be really good at it you still can try and have fun and it stills comes out to look like art work. an art piece that turned out well is an art piece that has had someone put in hard work and time into it so no matter how it looks it still looks well because you have tryed. i don't think that there is a pattern in my work other than i put in hard work for each piece. the way we used the colors. if i learned something different i would want to learn how to look at the picture that i am drawing and draw it in that from. 

When I work with ms. Hull I am reminded that it does not have to be perfect but you do have to put forth effort and try. she always keeps you moving forward. I begin a piece by doing examples be for going straight in to the big piece. I know a piece is done when i feel really good about it and the teaches lets me know its not perfect put it good. When my work is going well, I am filled with a sense of happiness.When people see my work, I'd like them to know that i really did try and put in work time and effort.

during my time in art so far i have worked on a piece of art work where i had to draw a glass cup of my choice and that assignment was not hard at all. it was cool to see how you can really draw glass on paper with black colors. i though that it was going to be very hard but working with Ms. Hull and Emma i felt more confident about what i was about too draw and kew that if i put forth effort then it would come out cool. we were told that we would be using black charcoal to be drawing this and i though that was cool expecclly with the white paper. the way i got though this project was to just color and erase that way you can try to get the full picture. in doing this work i feel as though i am expanding my mind more because i am not the type of person to really  just sit down and just draw a picture so art class gives me that part of me and i get to express my self and what i am feeling that day though my art work. ​

#1 lobbying post- cell phones

Driving-While-Texting





I  am lobbying for the law to pass for it to be illegal text while driving.Pennsylvania is getting set to join more than 30 other states that ban all motorists from texting while driving.



The reason that i chose this public policy because it directly affects a everyday task commited by the majority of the drivers in philadelphia


The main supporters of my this issue are Sen. John Wozniak, D-Cambria, 

 

The opposers of my issue are Jake Corman of Centre County, John Eichelberger of Blair County, Mike Folmer of Lebanon County, Charles McIlhinney of Bucks County and Don White of Indiana County.


The pending legislation of this issue is that its been passed in 30 other states besides pa i would like to see the process speed up.


The bill would make texting behind the wheel a primary offense so that police can pull over motorists for that violation alone. The penalty is $50. Police will not be allowed to seize the cell phone or other device.

The Glass cup

Artist statement:

 

We were assigned this project to learn how to draw glass objects, from the perspective of a human eye. This gave us an understanding of how what makes glass, glass. The shaping of the lines, the reflection, where the light catches the different areas on the glass, and where to draw the shadows to make the glass come to life. The most difficult part of this assignment was to figure out how to make glass, look like glass, on paper. Different areas of the glass had different shadings, and it was hard to determine where to put that on the drawing. Besides that, when my work was going well, I feel as though I accomplished way more than I would’ve thought, and I feel proud of the time and effort I put into it. My favorite part about my work is the shading. I did good on combining light and dark shadings and merging them onto the picture. 

At first when I began the drawing, I drew crosses to make the circles. I did this because Emma told us that it would make our circles much neater than they usually are. Then after I drew the circles I started to draw the general shape of the glass. Doing these steps in this order made it easier to get an understanding of how the glass should be shaped in all areas. Then I began to shade. When I began to shade I started to do it really light and then I used the eraser to make the clearness of the glass, but as I was doing that I realized that not all of the glass is light. There are some dark, light, and white places, hitting the glass in all different areas. After realizing that, I erased the light shadings, and I turned my light shading into a dark shading, and when I found a place in the picture where there was some lightness included I took the eraser, and started canceling out the dark areas. Doing this project I figured that when having a light shading, then having to draw a dark one, seems more difficult to me. I prefer drawing a dark shading first, then start adding the lightness. 

Doing this project I believe I have grown into a better artist, because I’ve learned a lot of new techniques that would help me improve my drawings in the future. Before this project, it would take me 5 minutes to draw a perfect circle. Now it takes me no more than 5 seconds. Doing this project I also got a lot better at shading and analyzing objects, which would be a technique that would be most useful to me, in this art class.

Artist Statement on my Clear Object Drawing

When I first saw the video that Emma showed during class, I was completely sure I wouldn't be able to draw such a thing as still object drawing. I've never drawn anything like this. I've always thought only the best of the best artists know how to draw still object with all these different shadings. 

While I was drawing the pot, I was constantly stepping back because it'd give me a different perspective of the drawing.   After drawing this, I may have used almost have of my erasers. So from the start, I began with a charcoal and started shading the main part of the paper, which was the center. Then I made outlines of the glass. By darkening the edges and whitening the outside, it made the object pop out from the dull charcoal filled paper. After that, I shaded in the shadows from one lighting. 

  I've never drawn a clear object before. I knew I wasn't going to be able to make a perfect drawing when i saw Emma's video because I've taken a class at Fleisher, which was oil painting where we also had to work with shading. It was a gruel-some experience because every time we had a shadow, we'd have to darken or choose a different color with same relation. However, in this drawing, we were only using charcoal and eraser, which was easier and it looked a whole lot better than my oil painting piece. 



Artist Statement on my Figure Drawing

I can finally say I've drawn a whole body figure! I've never drawn a person's whole body, either it's a part of their body such as their face or their eyes but I never drew a whole body figure in detail. I mean obviously I've drawn stick figures but never looking at a person and noticing every bit- parts of their clothing textures, their body shape and their hairstyles. 

This is Jasmine. The way I drew her was the same angle/ way she was facing. I've not finished my final drawing because of time issues. I started off outlining her whole body, then I started adding in little detail by detail. At the end, I felt as though I did pretty good but then I'm not a perfect artist, so I do not have a master piece. It was my first time so I think I did good job for a first time. 

Figure Drawing was very difficult because it took more than I could ever imagine. When other artists in my class finished in one class, I felt stupid because I definitely needed more time. I started off drawing Sammy and I was actually really proud of where I was at but then the next thing I knew almost everyone in our class lost their drawings. So I had to redo it all over again. This time, I drew Jasmine, one of my art classmate.

2nd Lobbying Post (Who Represents Me)

I currently live in the 3rd district making my representative Jannie L. Blackwell.  Jannie L. Blackwell is a graduate of Cheyney University where she received a Bachelor of Science degree in Education and a graduate of St. Joseph’s University where she received a Master of Arts in Education.
​Jannie Blackwell was the only member out of an entire council of 17 people to vote No on the new curfew that was passed last Thursday. One of the things Blackwell stated was

“Those people who work hard and work two and three jobs and can’t follow their children and end up with problems, you cost them out of a decent life,” she said. “You’re not going to change it.” (See Full Text Below)

http://www.phillytrib.com/newsarticles/item/1246-council-passes-curfew-despite-protestors.html

This tells me that she is thinking in the mindset of the average citizen because she once was in the shoes of the middle class citizen. She had to work her way to where she is now.

3 Monologues

Robbie McCormac                         White house or death house

 

It’s been 3 long hours I have been standing out side the tall white house that America looks up to how they look up to it I can not begin to understand. How can you trust people to make choices for a nation not even knowing the full effect of what can happen. The tar sands pipeline will be the death of us all. It will have a huge effect on the environment and it won’t end well. The tar sand pipe is just a failure waiting to happen the first pipe that is all ready made was only suppose to leak once every 7 years it leaked 12 times in one year! This is not a safe project that’s why I am up here next to the white house protesting for what I believe is right. We stand here untied for one cause and we are all going to stand up for what’s right like the great red woods in California we will stand up tall. The cops start yelling through their loud speakers. The words they say don’t faze us they roll right off of us like nothing was ever said. They start to move in with their batons and harsh words we still stand. I see people getting handcuffed people bleeding. I start to move back yelling we must stay put we can’t give up we came this far for a reason! An officer came up to me and through my hands behind my back I just kept a smile on my face. I felt the icy cold steel cuffs go around my wrist, At that moment I knew I did everything that I possibly could.



Robbie McCormac                        Dimitrty Medvedev           

 

Hello my name is Dmitrty Medvedev I am the current Prime Minister of Russia. I thought it would be in my best interest to express my opinion about the Tar sand pipeline and how it can effect the rest of the world. The oil companies are getting greedy and they don’t understand the risk they could be putting all of us through. The oil that would be pumped out of Canada to America is what we call crude oil. Crude oil is a very dirty form of oil and it can be very dangerous to transport. This oil can have effects on the land, water ,and air. The people of the world could be potentially be facing a crisis and we don’t even realize it we just over look it like it’s just another way to get energy. I’m expressing my view here because I know President Obama has the power to make the final decision about this and he can potentially change the environment, as we know it. The tar sand’s is a catastrophe waiting to happen. It doesn’t only affect the U.S the Co2 from this can go into the air and cause serious problems for other countries to.

As an allies I would just like you to consider the possible negative out comes that may happen because of this.

To Who ever may find this.

You are reading my last journal entry. The year is 2016 December 5th We finally got approved to start getting the crude oil that was in Canada over to the united states. We should have listened to all the protesters and the environmentalist. We got all the pipes in place by 2015 but we weren’t aloud to pump the oil until this year at first everything was fine jobs were created people were happy and best of all profit was coming in. We were able to take control of the oil industry in the United States it was a great accomplishment. But weeks after drilling the world was shocked to hear what was happing the current atmospheric co2 number went from 390ppm to a staggering 460ppm in just over a week people were scared with fear and I couldn’t blame them that day I drove to the Trans Canada HQ and sat at my desk looking out the window the sky now red with heat and blistering light. I sat at my all oak desk hearing on the T.V how we doomed the planet the co2 level was suppose to rise by 12 every day eventfully causing the atmosphere to collapse and then the planet would be destroyed people were told to live as well as they could in these last moments on earth. I put my head on my desk and reached under it to take out the little bottle of rum I kept. I took one last swig and opened my vault. Once I opened my vault I saw the letters C.O.L.T .45 and I just gazed upon it.

 






"Futuro" por Seamus Kirby

The purpose of this project was to create a mask that represented us. We wrote an essay that had two parts, the things that were obvious about us, and the things that were less obvious about us. Our masks could be anything we wanted, I chose to make a mask of a platypus. I chose this animal because the platypus seems like a more "advanced" animal, that can adapt to many environments and situations. It seems like a creature well suited for the future, which is what I would like to be; prepared for whatever comes my way in the future. After creating the masks, we put the parts that were obvious about us on the outside of the essay, and the parts that were less obvious on the inside. Masks are an important part of Spanish culture, because many festivals and celebrations use masks to represent animals and spirits.

Essay:

Lo obvio:

Una de mis cosas favoritos para hacer es jugar fútbol. Yo empese a jugar fútbol cuando tenia 5 años. Yo he jugado en varios equipos de fútbol, un equipo de Fairmount, Palumbo, y el equipo de SLA. Fútbol es algo que yo puede hacer para reéducar tensión en mi vida. Cuando yo soy frustrado o triste, yo puedo jugar fútbol y me siento mejor. Cuando yo conozco a gente por primera vez, yo estoy muy huraño. Fútbol me presentó a un grupo de gente que gusta algo similar que mi. Los miembros de mi equipo de fútbol eran mis primeros amigos en SLA cuando yo vení aquí por primera vez. Ellos ya están algunos de mis mejores amigos. A mi me importa mucho mi familia, y mis amigos. Mi familia están las personas que yo amo, y nos apoyamos a cada uno de nosotros. Tengo un hermano, llamado Colin. A veces, el me molesta, pero la mayoría del tiempo nos callemos bien. Mi mama me entiendo mucho, y yo puedo ir a ella para ayuda. Mi padre y yo somos muy similares. Por eso, nosotros nos entendemos a el otro, pero también nosotros nos molestan a la otro. Pero la mayoría del tiempo nos callemos bien. Mis amigos son las personas que me mantiene feliz. Sin mis amigos, yo sera mas deprimido en el vida. Yo soy pasivo. No estoy muy pasivo, pero estoy mas pasivo que afirmativo. Eso es a veces útil, pero otros tiempos es malo. Es bueno porque yo raramente tiene argumentos con personas, y ese esta bueno por mis relaciones con gente. Al mismo tiempo, yo no soy proactiva, y yo no haga atemptos para hacer cosas.

 

Lo menos obvio:

Yo no estoy un persona religiosa, y yo no creo en dios. Yo creo que eso esta bueno en mi vida, por varias razones. En mi opinión la religión esta un barrera para la creatividad y la imaginacíon. Si crees en un explicación por vida y el universo y solo esto, no quieres aprender sobre la ciencia de el universo, y vida. Yo creo que es mucho mas interesante aprender como vida evolvo desde un célula pequeño, hasta animales complexos como humanos, en vez de solamente pensar que dios pono todo en el mundo. Yo creo que la ciencia que explica como funciona el universo, como estrellas, planetas, luz, son muy interesante, pero la religion a veces condena esas estudios. En mi opinión, no creer en dios en un cosa libertador. Yo no haga cosas buenas para apaciguar un dios, haga cosas buenas para hacer cosas buenas. Mis opiniones sobre religión no afecta la mayoría de mis relaciones, excepto por pocos personas con quien me tiene argumentos. Mis padres tiene expectaciones muy altas de mi. Esta no esta solamente de cosas como escuela, y mis grados, pero también cosas no académicas. Esto es bueno, porque me da un empuja para hacer bueno en vida. También, yo estoy empezando de tener los mismos expectaciones de mi mismo. Los únicas cosas malas de esto es que a veces me estrés, y causa argumentos con padres. Unos de los cosas que yo quiere hacer cuando tiene un trabajo, esta ingeniero, o programador de computadora. Estos son mis intereses favoritos, porque para mi trabajo, yo necesita resolver problemas. Yo me gusta resolver problemas porque me da un sensacíon de gratificacíon. No me importa si el problema es sobre un problema en una programa de computador, o si un ciudad no tiene agua limpia. También es bueno que esos trabajos tienen un bien paga, pero la parte mas importante para mi es la trabajo que esta haciendo.

My drawings

Screen Shot 2011-11-10 at 2.33.36 PMThis is my picture of the clear drawing before I finished it.
2011-11-01 09.33.24 This is my picture of the clear drawing after I finished it.
I feel pretty proud of what I draw. I feel as though I accomplished a lot, like at first I was telling myself that I couldn't do it but when I started to draw I told myself I could do it. At the end it came out pretty well. The process of drawing this picture was pretty easy because at first you had to draw the outline of the object. It give you a picture of how the object should look. Then you had to put in the lighting it wasn't really hard because you had to focus on where the light hit the glass. You can tell where because the glass would brighten and shine more. The next thing you had to was take away the outline because there was really no outline there. At the end of my drawing it really look like it was 3-d which I think is pretty stellar.

When I started drawing my full figure drawing I had the beautiful image of what it was going to look like. With both of my drawings, I want for them to come out looking great. That wasn’t always possible. With my full figure project it didn’t come out as a thought it would. I had a whole different picture in my mind. I wanted for my picture to be pretty; I wanted for my picture to covered all of the details that I saw. That couldn’t happen because every time I had to start over. At the end I thought it was still pretty good.

Through out the course of me drawing my full figure object, it was hard. I had to start over four times, in all four classes. It was pretty terrible. I wanted to give up; I was going to give up. My teacher and one of my peers encourage me to continue. My peer helped me with my outline, she pointed out things that I haven’t seen before. At the end I thought it was a pretty good turnout. With my clear object it was really easy. I drew what I saw and at the end I went over it and made it even better. It was one the best thing I ever draw.

My work shows that if I but my mind up to it I can do it. If I try hard and say I can do it then it’ll keep happen. As long as I have positive mind then my work will show how good I am. The same thing happens with all my other work. If I put my mind to it I can do it. I have learned how to have a positive relation with all of my work.
