Quarter 3 Art Experience

I called this the experience because it was all something new I had to do this first thing I to do was the self portrait of my face. It was difficult for me to do this because I think I see myself one way but I look a different way. I had to see what I was seeing and I realized is what I have to do is scale it down so that it looks realistic but its not ridiculous. So I started drawing the face drawing by looking in the mirror and that didn't work because I still was making the drawing to big. So I asked my teacher what I could do in order to have it be scaled right and she told me to read this book called Exploring art where I could see the drawing of how to draw a head and make it look right. From there I was good to go I started to sketch and draw what I could, I had to draw the head at least 10 times ad even then I still wasn't sure if I had really grasp the correct way to draw the head. 

My second drawing was of the color wheel. I heard of the color wheel many a times but I never memorized the colors or the colors that mix to make other colors so this was like a refreshing course. I looked into it by going to read another book my teacher had called discovering the art history. I looked into this book and there I found where it was that I could go to find detailed information about the color wheel. So I drew that color wheel on a big piece of paper with pastels. Then we were asked draw a color wheel with only the primary colors so I did that also with some construction paper and pastels.

The last thing I did was the texture draw, this is where we had to draw something that looked like it had texture to it so at first I was going to draw the snake which was in the example but I was having a little trouble drawing that so I decided I would make something else that loked like it could have texture to it but really didn't so I drew some rain drops and some clouds and some puddles to make it look like if you touch then the rain drops look real but are really not.

Overall I am happy with the work that I have gotten done this quarter I was able to do a lot more research then I expected would go into drawing pictures. I am happy with everything and look forward to be challenged more throughout quarter 4.
