Darius Purnell Q3 Art Slides

Posted by Darius Purnell in Advanced Art - Hull - a2 on Friday, April 15, 2016 at 9:52 pm

Throughout my works of art, I use multiple different shades to represent color and texture. When it came to my drawings, I did everything in steps and layers by shapes and flows. At the end of this quarter I was looking into basic shapes and shapes hidden in animals. I then used those shapes to draw those animals. For my self portrait I did everything in layers; from shapes to form, then to shades. Another method of layers I used was for my advanced coloring art piece. One of the famous paintings I recolored required a lot of uncommon colors. So I had to layer multiple shades of one color to form another.

Week 2: For the abstact painting, I simply dotted a canvas with different colors and called it abstract. My technique for the dots was very specific, I gently pressed the paint against the cabinet, watching the color expand over the white surface, and I pulled the color along, then the hardest part, I carefully yet quickly ficked my wrist, leaving a perfect tail behind. Each dot took approximently 5 minutes.

Week 3/4: I chose three mandalas that made my heart sing. The calm I feel when I fill in each outlined space is indescribable. I reached such a zen feeling as I colored, I became copletely unaware of the time and the worries of my day. 

Week 4/5: I wanted to create a portrait of myself, without actually showing my face. So I drew a young girl, weirding a bold, beautiful dress, but still nervous and uneasy. Which I feel is representative of my self character. 

Week 6/7: I used charcoal to create this piece. It got my hands really dirty and was hard to control. I usually like charcoal, but when I don't have to be inside the lines. I dont reccomend charcoal.  

Week 8/9: I made a dog, and showed my process of making said dog from shapes.

Week 10: I made a raccoon, he looks like a Sal. I made a raccoon cause I think they're cool and weird. I started it as a pencil drawing, but put charcoal on top of it. Because the pencil was giving me the fur-like look, the charcoal made it look a lot better.

Logan Quarter Three Art Show

Posted by Logan Smith in Advanced Art - Hull - a2 on Thursday, April 14, 2016 at 2:15 pm

 For the first project we were suppose do adult coloring. I chose pictures that I found interesting and fun to color. In my photo's I tried to keep the color light and not overpower the picture with harsh colors. My favorite is the flower in the middle because I like the mix of colors and how the colors look together.  
My next photo is my self-portrait done with paint. I don't really like this picture, I think that I made some mistakes and the paint was very hard to work with on such a small piece of paper. I tried to recreate a simple picture of myself so I tried my best to copy this picture by choosing the paint that would best represent my clothes in the picture. 
My next picture is a shaded picture of a ball. I tried my best to have different shading colors, having some parts of the picture to be lighter than others . I also wanted to give my picture a little angle so I tried to shade a small table to make it look like the light was coming from a certain angle.  
For my basic shapes I wanted the shapes to be evident in the picture but I also wanted the picture to involve something that I, which is mario video games, so I choose one of the smaller characters in the game. In this picture this I tried to have as many shapes as possibly could but I also wanted the shapes to be rounded so it would look identical to the character. 
Lastly for animal shape I created a puppy. I drew a puppy because I tried to draw on earlier in the year but I had some difficulty. So for this quarter I wanted to challenge myself with drawing a puppy. The hardest part was drawing the ears on the puppy, so I may try and  draw another puppy to see if I could improve on it even more.

Qtr 3 Art Gallery - Shareef-Trudeau

Posted by Lotus Shareef-Trudeau in Advanced Art - Hull - a2 on Tuesday, April 12, 2016 at 8:14 pm

The first piece that I created for quarter three was an advanced coloring sheet. This is a detailed coloring sheet that I colored in with the use of markers. The image I chose to color was a fox, created by by several plant parts. I tried to keep the colors sort of realistic, coloring leaves green and wheat a golden color.

The second piece that I created was a self-portrait in watercolor. Because I had previously completed a self-portrait in pencil that was as realistic as I could make it, I wanted to try something a little different this time. Watercolor is more of a transparent and fluid paint to work with and so I thought that this medium would work well in conveying light and heat. So when painting my self-portrait I used warm colors and focused more on the thermal aspect of the portrait rather than the realistic colors that you would see on my face.

The third piece that I drew was a vase. The round shape of the vase helped me to emphasize value in this drawing, because of how the light strikes circular objects. Beside the vase is a gradient scale, this was simply a practice at shading in different gradients.

The fourth piece that I created was a drawing of a hand. I made this by starting with basic shapes and using those to construct the general idea of the hand, this is displayed in the picture on the left. After I drew the basic shapes, I refined the drawing by rounding edges and connecting them in a more natural way, this is displayed in the picture on the right.

The fifth and final piece of this quarter that I created was a gazelle. Again I started this piece using basic shapes for the gazelle’s features and later smoothing them out and making the picture a little less rigid and more curved, as we often find things in nature. Still, I left the light outline marking on the picture to show how I got from a place of blocks and circles and triangles, to the finished picture.

Christian Q3 Artwork

My self portrait was not based off my actual appearance, but by the way I feel. I feel like this represents me in an artistic way. More so than looks, I feel like the the person in the picture symbolizes who I am.

I never realized how many things you could make from circles, squares, and rectangles. These basic shapes are the building blocks for the most complex figures known to man. Without shapes you would not be able to create. The pictures shouws how shapes evolve when you connect the dots.

Q3 Artwork

Posted by Gabrielle Cromley in Advanced Art - Hull - a2 on Tuesday, April 12, 2016 at 3:02 pm

​My overall goal with my artwork during this quarter was to improve my techniques and make my pieces more realistic. With drawing assignments, I chose to draw animals in both shape assignments since I have never drawn a realistic animal.
Luckily I had an abstract art coloring book which I used for the advanced coloring assignment. I chose to use very similar color palettes on my first two  pages. They both included green, black, purple, and yellow. For the last page I chose to try a very different color scheme by using only white, black, and red. 
For my second self portrait, my medium was pencil as opposed to the charcoal that I used in my first self portrait. I made this decision, because I didn't really know how to use the charcoal very well so I decided to switch to something that I am more comfortable with. The next week's value assignment taught me how to use charcoal better and improve my shading skills. I made this change in my medium, because wanted to have more well-defined lines to make it easier for me to sketch from looking at a picture.
The last to weeks of the quarter we learned how to draw objects and animals using basic shapes. For both of these assignments, I chose to draw animals for both assignments to get out of my comfort zone. For the basic shapes assignment, I used ovals, rectangles, and triangles to form a crab. In the animal shapes assignment, I used ovals, rectangles, and triangles to create a drawing of a bear. To go from an arrangement of shapes to my final products for both of these drawings, I had to curve and soften edges, connect the shapes better, and add small details.

Q3 Artist's Statement

Posted by Caitlin Keough in Advanced Art - Hull - a2 on Tuesday, April 12, 2016 at 12:15 pm

When I draw I usually just stick to using pencils, so the advanced coloring was really different than the work that I usually produced but I had fun making it. I really like how the Three Musicians one looks because I tried to stick to all greens and blues and some yellows when I was coloring. I was initially going to try to replicate the true colors of Starry Night but decided to do a completely different color scheme instead. When I colored the mushroom picture I tried to do all unique combinations of colors for each mushroom to see which ones looked the best. 
For my self portrait I decided to play with the positioning of my face because I normally would have gone about drawing myself from a head on point of view or a side profile. I also used a little bit of color to fill in parts of the drawing. 
For the value and animal shapes assignments I did some shading of the ball and of the squirrel's tail. For the basic shapes drawing I simply just tried to replicate the shapes that made the tea pot as good as possible.
