Art Quarter 3 Slideshow and Artist Statment

In this quarter we had to draw a bike, make optical illusions, shaded forms, draw an eye, and make a mandala. I really enjoyed the projects that we did. I really put my best foot forward and worked with the skills that the assignments were trying to teach me. 

I didn't think that I would like the bike drawing but I was able to complete it. I wanted to draw a motorcycle at first  but Ms. Hull said that we couldn't. I picked this yellow and blue bike because I liked the basket. 

The next piece of artwork was the shading form. I think that this was the section that I needed the most help with. In all my drawing experience I have had trouble with shading. I think that my favorite one was the sphere. 

The next was the eye and I loved the way that this one turned out. I was able to use the mirror to recreate my eye. I think that the video that we used as reference was really helpful. 

My favorite project of the quarter was the mandala. I decided to make mine by hand. I found it very peaceful and centering to draw it. It gave me time to kind of meditate while I was coloring it in.
