Quarter 1 Art Portfolio, Edgar Pacio
I have always enjoyed drawing and this year in art I was able to learn many things I have always needed practice on. The lessons taught me different methods of shading and how different pencils work. I tried my best in every drawing, especially the shading ones because I'm not very good at it yet. These drawings show off the time and effort I put into trying to become a better artist.
Art Work-Lisa Kang
My name is Lisa Kang and I'm a junior. Throughout the quarter, I have been improving my art skills by following many series of art lesson through the website called drawspace. First, we focussed on find our comfortable strokes and lines and then we got into more difficult things such as shading and hatching. These are a series of my work throughout the quarter. I put a lot of effort and time into them and I think that I have improved a lot.
Quarter 1 Art E2
When I received my roster I was hesitant about taking an art class because I can not draw. Through this first quarter I have learned that it isn't about being a good artist, but about being proud of what you have created. Bellow are the pieces I have drawn over the quarter, enjoy.

Quarter 1: Drawings - Lesson F, Dakota Foster
My name is Dakota Foster and I am a senior at Science Leadership Academy. For this blog post, we will be talking about the drawings that we recently did in art class. We had to follow different lesson on a website called drawspace.com. In this blog post, we will be looking at the work that I did for Lesson F, which is called Hatching. Hatching is the way of coloring in spaces with a pencil or charcoal.
The hardest part for me when drawing these pictures was trying to drawing Kobrah because his face has a lot of angles to it, A LOT OF SYMMETRY. Then, if I drew the line of symmetry wrong which threw everything off about his face and it was hard to get it back together. It was also hard to draw his face because the angles on his face were even weirder, they weren't natural angles - they were hard angles. I think drawing hair is also very hard for me, I can not get the texture right for the life of me.

Quarter 1: Drawings - Lesson E, Dakota Foster
My name is Dakota Foster and I am a senior at Science Leadership Academy. For this blog post, we will be talking about the drawings that we recently did in art class. We had to follow different lesson on a website called drawspace.com. In this blog post, we will be looking at the work that I did for Lesson E, which is called Perspective 1. This lesson was the shortest out of the all the lesson and it had to be the easiest.
The drawing that i liked the most was One Point Perspective. I've always enjoyed doing perspective drawings because they are so simple, but they come out so interesting looking. It is like drawing what you see at different angles perfectly. I think it is just so amazing that somebody came up with a drawing technique like this because it is just perfect. I would draw my whole world in one point perspective. I also enjoyed doing the drawings of the smiley faces in perspectives because you can really see how the smiley faces become smaller in the background.

This quarter and art, we explored a website with hundreds of methods to becoming a better artist. Here are the beginnings of my becoming a better artist. Enjoy!
Quarter 1: Drawings - Lesson D, Dakota Foster
My name is Dakota Foster and I am a senior at Science Leadership Academy. For this blog post, we will be talking about the work that we did in my art class. We had to do various lessons of a website called drawspace.com. In this blog post, we did Lesson D which was called Squirkling. I didn't enjoy doing this lesson at all, it was the hardest lesson to do for me. I couldn't really grasp the idea of what we had to do to get the certain texture in the pictures.
Each drawing had its aspects of being a hard drawing for me. It was first trying to fully understand how to draw the texture, which I don't think I could grasp by looking at the drawings. The second was trying to get the texture to look a lot dark in places than others because I wouldn't make the squirkles close enough to each other or I didn't have the correct weight of the pen. Another thing was difficult for me was trying to draw the face of the little boy, I think I have a hard time drawing boys instead of girls. Because in the drawings of the girls, they were really great.

3 Art Pieces
1. Copy a character. I found the sharpie one the hardest to do, because I tend to go towards softer lines and I couldn't find a way to do that, so I had to be very careful in what I chose to do with the color and lines.
2. Self portrait- Drawing myself is always really difficult, so I think this may have been the hardest one. I really liked working with the charcoal even though I can't help but smudge it absolutely everywhere.
3. Copy a master- I decided to copy characters from the film "The Secret of Kells" I love how that movie is animated, in motion it's even better than flat on paper. Again, sharpie was the most difficult, because there isn't a bunch of shading or anything I could do except flat lines and I think that was really hard to make look nice.

Jaccar Garcia _Quarter 1 Art
During this quarter I chose to do the 2-day art lessons. I felt as if the 2 day art lessons helped me more than if I would have chosen one of the other options. I was capable of realizing what my strength and weaknesses are in art, I learned about shading which I find to be the most difficult part about it all but still the most exciting part.
Here are my drawings:

Azota Filipinas uno de los tifones más poderosos de la historia
Antes de yo empiezo escribir, yo voy a definir algunas de las palabras nuevas en el artículo, “Azota Filipinas uno de los tifones más poderosos de la historia”. “Tifón” es palabra muy importante en este artículo; en Inglés “tifón” es “typhoon”. Ademas, la palabra “daño” es importante en este artículo. “Daño” se traduce en “damages” en Inglés.
Ahora, yo quiero resumir todos que está escrito en el artículo. En la semana pasada, un tifón llegado a los Phillipines. Por viernes, el tifón más grande en todo de este año llegado y hizo muchos daños. En los Philippines (más específicamente, la isla de Bohol) fue un terremoto el mes que pasado. En Inglés, terremoto es “earthquake”.
"Habrá daños catastróficos", dijo Jeff Masters, un meteorólogo experto en huracanes y que es director de la firma privada estadounidense Weather Underground.
Hoy, las personas que vivían en los Philippines tienen vidas muy difíciles. Fuentes de noticias dijeron que casi 4,000 personas murieron después del tifón Haiyan. Todas las personas estan espantados porque hay personas fallecidas en todos partes. Los personas que no murieron estan enfermos, pero ellos no tienen suficiente hospitales y médicos para todas las personas enfermas.
Países de todo el mundo ofrecer ayuda para los víctimas de tifón Haiyan. Organizaciones como “Red Cross” y muchos otros ofrecer dinero, comida, y cosas para los médicos. Ellos necesitan todos de la ayuda que nosotros pueden dar.

Eugéne Atget: Pioneer of Documentary Photography
Eugéne Atget was born in Libourne, France in 1857. He is so commonly remembered for pioneering what is known as documentary photography. This type of photography is somewhat very similar to street photography which is more common now. Eugéne Atget is remembered for his initiative to document all of the architecture and street scenes of Paris before they disappeared into modernization.
Like so many famous artists, many of his photographs weren’t published until after his death. He began to become recognized by other photographers just two years before his death.
Eugéne Atget’s parents both passed away during his young adolescence. His maternal grandparents raised him in Bordeaux and after finishing high school, he went into the merchant navy.
Atget moved to Paris in 1878. He auditioned for acting classes and failed the first time, and then was allowed in when he auditioned again. He was still drafted during the time he was in drama school, and he was expelled for only being able to be there part-time.
While living in Paris, he became an actor with a traveling group. They stayed in and around Paris still. He met his wife, Valentine Delafosse Compagnon, who was an actress in Paris. She died just a few years after they were married. Eugéne Atget gave up on his acting career in 1887, due to an infection of his vocal cords. After he gave up on his acting, he moved to the provinces and took up painting, but was not successful.
Realizing he would never have a career in painting, he still spent his life as an amateur painter. His first photographs date back to 1888. In 1890, Atget moved back to Paris. He settled down as a commercial photographer, and put on a sign on his door that read, “Documents for Artists.”
In 1898, Eugéne Atget began to specialize in what is known as “Old Paris.” This became his project for nearly 30 years. This idea of old Paris was a campaign to preserve and document pre-revolutionary architecture. Many of Atget’s photographs are of building facades and the streets of Paris, because he felt that he needed to document and archive the city before the construction of Paris Métro.
Atget stopped taking pictures almost entirely after the First World War (1914-1918). In 1920, Atget offered to sell a portion of his glass-plate negatives to the government. He wrote a letter to the Minister of the Fine Arts and wrote, “For more than 20 years I have been working alone and of my own initiative in all the old streets of Old Paris to make a collection of 18 x 24 [centimeter] photographic negatives: artistic documents of beautiful urban architecture from the 16th to the 19th centuries. . . . Today this enormous artistic and documentary collection is finished; I can say I possess all of Old Paris." The government purchased almost 3,000 of Atget’s negatives for 10,000 francs.
In the 1920s, Atget became noticed in modern art’s avant-garde. This wasn’t long before his death in August of 1927.Recreated Piece

This is the art for each of the lessons for Quarter 1. I enjoyed doing these so, I hope you enjoy viewing them!
Copy a Master: Piet Mondrian
I decided to copy the master Piet Mondrian I found his paintings to be very well done and beautiful. Since I am really interested in math, I thought his paintings were amazing. His art is an amazing representation of how math relates to art. He uses squares and rectangles along with symmetry. Although he painted this painting in 1920, I find it to be very modern and trendy. I like how he used primary colors in his work and I enjoyed copying his work. I made 4 types of the same painting, one in sharpie, one in colored pencil, one in crayon and another in pastel charcoal.
Art History: Piet Mondrian 1872-1944
Piet Mondrian was born in 1872 on March 7, 1872. Piet Mondrian, one of the founders of the Dutch modern movement De Stijl, is recognized for the purity of his abstractions and methodical practice by which he arrived at them. He radically simplified the elements of his paintings to reflect what he saw as the spiritual order underlying the visible world, creating a clear, universal aesthetic language within his canvases. In his best known paintings from the 1920s, Mondrian reduced his shapes to lines and rectangles and his palette to fundamental basics pushing past references to the outside world toward pure abstraction. His use of asymmetrical balance and a simplified pictorial vocabulary were crucial in the development of modern art, and his iconic abstract works remain influential in design and familiar in popular culture to this day. Piet Mondrian died on February 1, 1944 at the age of 72.

Found Object Sculpture:
“Personal Jesus”
Before my grandparent’s house caught on fire, I was able to take this Jesus statue out of the house. I really wasn’t a fan of the color and I got inspired by the Depeche mode song that was covered by Johnny Cash and later Marilyn Manson “Personal Jesus”. The idea is that everyone has a personal Jesus, someone to hear their prayers, someone who’s there.

Andy Warhol Cats:
For my copy a master I chose to focus on Andy Warhol and his collection of cat drawings. These pen and water color pieces are fantastic and really capture Warhol, they were unique and simple but filled with character and color.

#ENGCHAT:
This fall I’ve been working on a giant rebrand for Engchat, A website that encourages communication collaboration and conversation in english teachers. The site it run by SLA’s very own Meenoo Rami. I worked with Ms. Rami on lots and lots of variations of the logo.
The logo when through many stages (pictures shown below) and finally we decided to strip down the entire logo to just our typography and to incorporate our favorite aspect of the logo, the pencil hashtag. I made the hashtag pencil colored and we came up with something that we absolutely loved.
Below is an image of the logo at different stages throughout the design process.
At one point during the process of making the logo, we had lots of things that we wanted to put on the logo and lots of ideas for the logo but we hadn't yet come to a solution about to put all of the things we wanted into a single image. I came up with the idea to laser cut all of the design elements I had created and then using the piece, allow my client to build their own logo out of paper. This was helpful for 2 reasons, I got to see what style my client wanted and my client was also able to see that with the number of things they wanted in the logo it was almost impossible to not make it look over crowded. Below are some images of logos that we made
Quarter 1: Drawings - Lesson C, Dakota Foster
My name is Dakota Foster and I am a senior at Science Leadership Academy. For this blog post, I will be showing you the art work that I did in my art class. We had to look at lessons that our teacher provided for us on a website called drawspace.com. This set of drawings are from the Lesson C called Draw with Lines. I would have to say that this set of drawings were the hardest for me because I was never good at drawing faces or animals. So, I took my time when drawing these pictures because I wanted them to be the best they could be.
My favorite drawing is in the lion because i really like how it looks. It was fun drawing it and I like how the lion looks more like a cartoon than a real lion. The hardest drawing for me was the drawing of the face with the girl with the large hair and the big eyes, her name is Kira. This was the hardest for me because I was never good at drawing faces. Never good at drawing faces of people either, I didn't really understand how the light and where it would hit. I didn't understand how the face was set up and where to put the lines to make the face look symmetrical. I would say that I did pretty good on this drawing to compared to the lesson it looks identical. I even had people say that the drawing looks like a girl that goes to my school.
