Q3 Final Project

This quarter, I mainly worked on pieces that I had to sketch onto paper, centered around drawings of objects. My sources were usually either myself our my past experiences, belongings, and research. Symmetry was really important during this quarter as well as precision and exactness. I prefered to use a ruler and pencil first before using any color or pen. Many of my works had to be retraced with a pen or darker weight in order to show up well. These past few weeks, one thing I have learned is how to draw a mandala, which I had only colored in coloring books previously. This process, like many others this quarter, also required a ruler to measure the lines and keep them straight and even. Most of my studio time was spent working on these assignments because it was not often that I worked on them outside of school. It took me two work days in school and two outside to fully color in the optical illusion artwork I did in weeks 3 and 4. The hardest part about these works was the precision that went into them, but I believe that good quality time spent working there resulted in better art.
