Artist Statement_ Jaccar Garcia

For this quarter we had to create to different projects. We made a life sized drawing of a student in our class and had 4 hours to work on it as well as we did with a another drawing we had to make of a glass object and make it look as real as we could. For our life sized drawing we had to make it as detailed as possible. Starting off with lines where we thought possible parts of the body were and working off from there. I believe I could have put a bit more effort into the life-sized drawing or tried working more on how to draw a face. For my glass drawing I used a beaker and may I say I’m very proud of that art piece.

 

            For my glass drawing we had to find the object with in the paper. It was in there somewhere and we had to dig for it. Using charcoal make my drawing made it easier to fade, erase, darken, ect. When I started my drawing I didn’t realize there was more then just the outline and seeing an object from an outer black line, but that nothing in real life has a black line. This makes me need to find a way to show the object with making a black line around it; this realization made me a stronger artist. I used paper towel to smooth out my drawing and be able to find my drawing more. Then I had to capture the shadow and the reflections from the light. While I analyzed the beaker I noticed so much. Its all about shading, darkening, and showing the different highlights which makes the object real instead of cartoon.
