Bailey Britton Q2 Art Portfolio

Posted by Bailey Britton in Art Advanced - Hull - a2 on

During this quarter of Art I complete the 4 assignments, which were an art collage, a fabric drawing, a photo that was edited, and a drawing from a piece of writing. My favorite assignment I would have to say was my drawing from a piece of writing but it was also the hardest. I feel like the easiest assignment was editing the photo, but I really liked that also. I think my least favorite piece of art we had to do this quarter was because I couldn't decide on what to do. I feel like I have grown as an artist because my work looks at least a little bit better than it did in quarter one

For quarter two art, we had four assignments to complete. We had to complete a 8.5 x 11 photo collage, a fabric drawing, photo editing and an illustration. For my photo collage I decided to do a vacation collage for my dream vacation and what that would look like. I decided to use colors that complemented each other well and that I feel are happy colors. For the fabric drawing I decided that I wanted to do a very detailed drawing and therefore chose silk. I chose a red silk that flowed very nicely and executed that very well in the drawing. When it came time for photo editing and illustration, I decided to use my sister and one of the books we have recently read. I used a basic filter in which highlighted the basic focal features of the photo and then drew the one scene from “Brown Bear, Brown Bear.” I enjoyed doing all of these projects and spent a great deal of time on them even though I had an extensive absence.

​I created all these different pieces of art for Quarter 2 at very different times in my life. I've had a hard time personally, with three deaths in my family, one family member in the hospital and the pressure of having to set up the building blocks for the rest of my life. I create the art I do, to get people's attention, to show them what I can do, and that I matter. 
To show my creative spirit, and that even though I might not understand Algebra, or Physics, or World History that I understand other things. Like how people can change over time, and what people think when everything falls apart around them. 
My art is my venting time and my emotions.

The reason I create art is to express myself. Even though the art may not be something amazing or profound, it is something I am proud of and happy that I created. When I look at my art, I see myself being reflected. This quarter my art had a common theme almost. There were a lot of drawings and detailed work. Detailed art is a bit meticulous but it's something fun. I create what I love and I have to be happy with what I create. I feel that my collage is one of the best things I created this quarter; it shows complex images in a simplistic way with a lot of colors, which is something I really love.

As an artist, I always try to create pieces that I know I will enjoy. As part of my process, I always make it a point to carefully think about the subject matter I will be working with. The artwork in this portfolio highlights the child within me and I think it is important to acknowledge our old selves and how we once had very imaginative minds. My old self fueled my creativity whenever I created a piece this quarter.

​

Hello, I'm Klarissa Hudson and this is my work from my senior art class. In this class we have students who are "passing", "middles", and "college preps." Each section has different artworks to be completed based on their level. I'm in the "passing" group, so I have the smaller and easier assignments to complete. This quarter I had to:


1. Create an art collage from magazines

2. Draw a fabric

3. Filter a picture

4. Draw a picture to represent a passage, book, quote, etc.


For my first assignment, I worked to create an art collage. We had to cut out pictures and words from magazines and have it say something without us having to explain it. For the second assignment, I drew a red fabric. I’m not really good at shading and drawing sheets or covers. For the third assignment I made filters of a picture I took during sunset. My first filter was playing around with waves while the second one was with night vision. And for the fourth assignment I did an illustration of a book I read in english class called “The Bluest Eye.” Please enjoy and comment if you like; thank you for taking time to look at my work.


Q2 Artwork by Leah Kelly

At the end of the first quarter, I set the goal for myself that I would challenge myself to create the best artwork that I possibly could in the second semester. I can say with confidence that I achieved my goal.

Drawing has never been a skill of mine, but the second quarter in Advanced Art was extensive in drawing and I can say that I created some works that I am really proud of. Also, especially for the art collage, I was challenged to be really creative and not just cut out a bunch of things and glue them to the page. So instead, I came up with the idea of diversity and created an amazing collage around it and it then became my favorite piece of art that I produced this quarter.


This quarter I drew inspiration from all around me, specifically for the collage and the photograph. When we were told to take a picture of a photograph displaying depth of field, my mind immediately jumped to all of the easy options: taking pictures of lockers, pool balls, words, etc. However, I became inspired and decided to challenge myself using a mundane object such as string to represent such an important photography element.


Overall, I am extremely pleased with my performance this quarter and with the entire semester overall. I look forward to continuing to grow as an artist and a person through this class.

​Hello, My name is Mingxue Zheng and the following slide show will contain the three artwork and one photograph that I've created in the second quarter of my senior art class. Our class is divided up into three groups, passing, middle, and FAS (future art student). As a "middle" I need to complete...

1.) Art Collage (8x11") 
2.) Fabric Drawing (8x11")  
3.) Edited Photo 
4.) Illustrating a piece of writing from Children's books. 

The first artwork that I was so hyped up about is the collage. I never did a collage that needs to convey a deeper meaning before. It took me 2-3 days to formulate ideas for the collage. 

My collage should be simple and visually appealing. There should be a sharp contrast as well. So, I did a "Hot & Cold" collage with a grandma crossing between the cold and hot terrane of the collage. On the cold terrane there is a lot of black and white landscapes. To add a pop of color, I added a series of blue butterflies so it will not be overly dull. On the hot terrane, there are a lot of orange to red color schemes; making a more vibrant atmosphere. 

The most challenging art piece was to create a fabric drawing. It took me a lot time to figure out where to shade. After a bunch of diligent tries, I finally have the drawing. However, it still doesn't look like a fabric. 

The third task is to edit a photo. I chose to edit a photo of Chinatown's signature landmark because I lived there. I am very proud of that picture as a Chinese immigrant. Since, I like everything to be sharp and colorful. I chose to saturate the photograph. 

For the fourth task, I chose to illustrate a piece of writing from Where the Wild Things Are. I chose to change the protagonist to a female because females should be portrayed as audacious and adventurous rather than obedient all the time. I also change the monster to a European horror influenced Chinese mythological creature. 

I really have a lot to improve. But, trying new things are always good. To me, art is a medium that helps me to imagine. Someday, the sometimes obscure imaginations within my brain could be drag into the world of reality.

​Artist's Statement

You can’t always limit what you can do, because then, you’re not creating. There have been plenty of times where I gave up on something, because I always compared my art to others, and it never worked out in the end. Art is something to be enjoyed, no matter what the medium. And if you’re not being you, what’s the point in making something for people to enjoy?


The secret to art isn’t skill, it’s loving what you do, and taking risks with yourself.

Q2- Advanced Art

Posted by Lisa Kang in Art Advanced - Hull - a2 on

As an artist, I wanted to explore different mediums of art. I normally do a lot of drawings but there is so much more to discover. This quarter, there was four assignments. Two of them are drawings, one is a collage and the last one is a photo edit. In my artwork, I wanted to incorporate memories and things that were important to me as a child. I think that a piece of artwork would look a lot better if it was meaningful. My favorite piece was my book illustration because this is one of my favorite children's book. I really resonated with this particular scene in the book when Edward was sinking further and further into the ocean.
