Melanie Harrington Q4 Art Portfolio

Posted by Melanie Harrington in Art Advanced - Hull - a2 on

​

As an artist I use painting as a way to cope with my everyday life, especially situations I find stressful. I find the stroke of the paint brush calming and I am filled with a sense of pride whenever I finish a piece. My favorite way to paint is by using acrylic paints. I like to paint solid pictures or pictures that don’t involve a lot of blending with these. When I use water colors, I’m better at blending. I normally paint scenery whenever I use watercolors. Currently, I’ve been really interested in landscapes and fantasy paintings. I try to use these elements in my current work. I hope you enjoy my fourth quarter portfolio.

Artist Statement

This past year in Quarter Four art has been great. I have challenged myself constantly, producing artwork I could have never have said “I did”. During this last quarter, students were given the opportunity to produce pieces of ‘their” own choosing. I was so happy with what I created for my four pieces. One piece I put so much time into, I worked on it for a week, even on my free periods. The piece I named after the model “Noel”, was not only an accomplishment, but a great piece of artwork overall. It was crated using many of textures and sizes of papers and colors. It was the hardest piece of the collection I crafted. The second piece was the “Boo” character from “Monsters Inc.”. I was able to collaborate with another fellow artist for that, and it was truly fun to work with both the paint on a project an a good friend. The last two were pieces I felt connected to overall, thus my reason to try and replicate them. I had the exact same reaction and feeling when I first saw both and wanted to instantly recreate the drawings. All of my pieces of art, except for Boo all are “afrocentric” inspired. I really wanted to incorporate my heritage and culture in my pieces this time around. Since, I was given the chance, I went for it. So, I feel as though I portrayed all of them featuring a piece of myself within them. If that makes any sense? The overall process for my artwork was very persistent and challenging, although I loved every minute of it. I hope I can at least have an art elective in college because of my experience in art this year.

The last quarter of 2 day art we got to pick our own projects to do. I loved that idea because I got to draw and paint almost whatever I wanted. My favorite piece was the drawing of the kitten because it was the easiest thing for me to draw and I think that one looks the best. I think art shows things words cannot. Drawings and paintings show expressions that words cannot describe, and that's why I like it so much.

​Sometimes, things aren’t going to go exactly as you planned, which is completely alright. You always have to have something else to fall back on. Even if what you create doesn’t match what you wanted to to from the beginning, that’s okay. Learning to love what you make is key, even if it isn’t what you expected. That’s what makes things unique, by exceeding expectations in a completely new way.

Never self doubt yourself. Sometimes the best things are created by accident.

Alexis Dean 4th Quarter Art

This quarter we had to pick our own adventure. We had to choose what projects we wanted to do. I chose to do a canvas painting as well as two drawings. These projects were the easiest way to express my creativity in the time frame that made sense with the rest of my schedule. This quarter I was faced with a lot of challenges in my personal life and that made it impossible to create more detailed art projects. I chose the canvas painting because I wanted to have something I could hang on my wall and be proud of. I chose the Disney drawing because I was leaving for my vacation and I chose the graduation piece because I wanted to capture one of the most important moments for us as seniors. I will take everything I learned over the last 4 years and use it to continue to boost my creativity. Art is something I enjoy doing on my free time and probably will continue to do to help relieve stress.

During the fourth quarter of art class, I REALLY went out of my comfort zone here. I successfully created an origami object for the first time, and I really enjoyed the process. Of course I had to throw in a drawing because that's where I do feel most at home, but then I went again and tried something different. I used cardboard to create a letter and then printed some of my favorite childhood photographs on it. I think all of my projects differed a LOT from one another and I'm happy to say that I really did step out of my norm this quarter. I'm truly proud of the pieces I produced this year overall.

This quarter in art class I got to use and put into practice things that I have learned throughout the year. I got to put techniques like shading and mediums India ink into practice with my own style. This was very  helpful for me because it let me see how what I have learn will be enmeshed in my art as I go forward. I didn’t have any other theme beside practice and using things learned. I think this quarter was very helpful for me and I got a lot from it.


Art Portfolio Q4

Posted by Malwina Dymek in Art Advanced - Hull - a2 on

For the last quarter I decided to focus on things I enjoy drawing. The first project was drawing girl's face. The second project I wanted to draw are leaves using a pencil. The third project I decided to have two pictures that show the depth of field. I really enjoyed the third project. The fourth project was drawing hands that hold an apple. This quarter was different, than the last three because we did not have directions on what we need to draw. I liked how we could pick what to draw because we draw what we are interested in the most.

This quarter in art is different from the previous 3 because we had the opportunity to choose our our projects, instead of having a set project biweekly. We had to do 4 different projects so I did a 3D origami piece, a series of modular origami, a water color painting, and an abstract drawing. All of these projects have 1 thing in common, my childhood. I used to do these things all the time when I was younger, but stopped when I got older. It felt nice to be able to connect with my old habits. 
My first project is a 3D origami piece that involves folding paper into hundreds of triangular pieces and then inserting them together in a certain patter to create a shape, in my case, I created a swan. There were about 150 small pieces that are fairly simple to make, but very time consuming. Putting the final thing together took a lot of concentration because there is a specific way to place the pieces and I messed up many times and had to start over.
My second project was modular origami, which is similar to the 3D one, but the folding is a lot more complicated, intricate and time consuming. Also combining the pieces is more challenging because it's not as easy as sliding paper on top of each other. For this project I made 5 different pieces: a square box that unfolds into a rose, a colorful spinning top, a star-like piece, an intricate cube, and a flower.
My third project was a water color painting of a scenery, which was both fun and a little challenging because there were so many colors and I had to make sure that things blended in well with each other. I had a lot of fun playing with contrast, color, and shades. 
My last project was an abstract drawing that has a lot of patterns and designs. It's based off of my old doodling habits from when I was younger. I used to fill pages with random drawings and I loved how the lead from the pencil gave the drawing a shine. I was always obsessed with things that were symmetrical and I originally wanted to create a mandala, but this felt more familiar.

Overall, I felt like I did really well this quarter and I'm proud of all my artwork. I love how all of them turned out and I was also able to explore various types of art that I probably wouldn't have if there was a set work we had to do.
