Q2 2-Day Art
This quarter I decided to choose a different reach on my art. There was a couple pieces that were motivated by black history month, which is next month. I decided to add some aspects and influence it for my work. I have always went with freely inspiring my work, but this time I actually used something to motivate and guide me.
For my fabric drawing, I actually designed it myself, by using a chair that I had at home. I actually got better at the fabric since last year. I learned the balance between the shaded and the lines. I decided to go a little smaller in the paper size so that I would be able to add more detail int the fabric.
The next was my photo editing,which I used from when I was at graduation. I think I wanted the editing to look as if it had texture on it. I then wanted it to be recognized, but then easy enough for someone to tell a difference. Also with the collage, I didn`t want it to be clutttered so that people would not see it, but have enough, so you don`t see any background paper. This was also inspired by black history month.
The last was a drawing inspired by the speech by Martin Luther King which you can find below.
Anastasia, Q2
I use my art to express the things I see that I can't describe with words, yet I have an artist statement to write none the less...
The Collage...
When I create a collage, the final product is usually quite scenic. Beginning this collage I simply choose and assortment of images that caught my eye and went from there, being extremely precise when cutting. The assortment of images transformed into a mystical "city" in they sky with a pastel color scheme. I am extremely satisfies... :)
The Fabric...
I found drawing a texture to be very challenging and in the end I settled with the one thing I know how to draw, fabric with a rippling effect. The outcome was simple, but sleek.
The Photo...
This image is one of the most professional shots I have ever captured on an iPhone. Every detail is clear to the bare eye. Since the image itself has "a lot" going on in it I wanted the edit to be simple. The picture seemed washed of color so I increased the vibrance. Proud to call it my own!
The Illustration...
I had not a clue what to base my illustration off of. I knew music, but there is an incredible variety to choose from and I was very indecisive. I was quite stuck until I heard the Beatles song, "She came in through the bathroom window". The idea of that image was so bizarre but would make for a very unique creation. So I began. I am not good at drawing legs though, the initial plan was for there to be a leg sticking through the window, yet when I got to a certain point I decided that I liked it as it was.
...whew
My Artwork
I use my artwork to channel my inner imagination. It is not too often in school when you can express how you feel, and art is one of the few times. I am proud of my pieces and think that you will appreciate them also.
My "Blend of Music" piece is my personal favorite. It is a blend of covers from some of the songs I listen too. I like it because it is simple, colorful, and means something special to me. The covers are placed in strategic positions that caught my eyes and I felt like it would help catch others also.
My next piece is "Il tessuto cade". Thats means the falling fabric in Italian. This piece was cool because I added a little extra to the assigned task. I wanted the make the fabric flow even more so I decided to use the fan to give it the flow look.
My third piece is Kaleidoscope dreams. It shows a young girl through the eye of a kaleidoscope. Of all the filters, this was my favorite. It reminds my of looking through a toy kaleidoscope as a kid.
My final piece was my quote from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. It shows a camel in a place with feathers and the one feather on his back is broken. The quote did not literally mean this but it is what came to mind when I heard it.
Logan Art Slide Show
I wanted to make my collage based off of something that reflects my childhood. So I choose to combine all of the classic Disney movies, characters, or slogans that show what Disney really is. Before making making my collage I had to decide which movies I wanted to include, since there are so many movies. From there I had to decided where they would fit and how those pictures would look next to each other.
The next art project was to create a fabric. For this project I knew I wanted to make a dress but I was unsure if I could do it. So I made a practice image which is just a regular piece of fabric. Then I started working on the dress that I wanted to make, yet I still was unsure of how to do small details of the dress to really make it look like flowing fabric. With the help of Mrs. Hull I was able to adjust my dress and turn it into something that I am proud off.
For the photo editing project I knew I wanted to use picture that I couldn't draw, but I also new that I wanted to reflect myself a little bit. In the first blur of the girl with the cracked glasses shows that life is tough. In the Superwoman picture I wanted to show how I will run whenever my friends or family is in trouble. And the last picture of the elephant walking alone shows that how I have taken a different path than many others, it also shows that sometimes I walk alone.
In my illustrations I knew that I wanted to improve on how I drew faces and eyes. So I choose a song that would help me do that called Pretty Brown Eyes by Mint Condition. I was also inspired by another son called Key to My Heart this song explains how the a girl doesn't want to tell the boy how she feel but he still has the key to her heart.
I feel like I am improving in my art. I want to continue trying new things and making progress.
Art Blog 2
For my collage I wanted to use different clippings from magazines to create a gown. I was going to have the body just be drawn on, but then I came across an old magazine about bones and I used cut outs from it to create a skeleton for the body.
I really enjoyed learning how to draw fabrics, I didn't make one main drawing, I drew many different styles originally as practice, but I didn't want to make one main drawing because I didn't feel confident enough to make something that large when I was still learning
For the photo I took a picture of a bush I came across while walking home from a class, I thought that the snow on the leaves, and the depth would have a strong effect.
For my illustration I decided to do a book cover for the book I'm reading now. Pride and Prejudice. The girl in the picture is the main character: Elizabeth Bennet. I wanted to capture her facial expression; in the book Elizabeth is very prejudice (hense the title) and I wanted her face to look as if it was judging the person looking back.
Quarter 2 Art Portfolio
I wanted to make a collage of something/or someone that I love. I’ve always loved Audrey Hepburn and so I decided to make a collage about her. Before making my collage I did a little research on Audrey Hepburn and discovered that she was born during the time of Nazi Germany, but the most interesting fact I learned was that she at bulbs of Tulips to stay alive and so I decided to make the shape of my collage a tulip bulb.
For the draw fabric assignment I decided to draw a gown. I’ve always loved and been interested in fashion and so this was my favorite assignment in quarter 2. Before I started drawing I did some research on what draw fabrics looked like. I found a lot of images of what looked like to be drawing of a big sheet or clothing.
The picture I chose to edit is of my sister and I. I chose this photo because this is one of my favorite photos of my sister and I. This photo was originally taken in color.
I based my illustration off of a Shel Silverstein poem called: Early Bird. The first poetry book I had had this poem in it. It’s also where I learned the phrases: early bird get the worm. I decided to draw a picture of a bird because it’s the main subject of the poem.
Darius Purnell Quarter 2 Slideshow
For my art pieces I wanted to keep everything an action/superhero theme.
For my Art Collage, I gathered as many pictures I could fit of the Avengers in different poses and looks. I then went back and drew the Avengers logo. I didn’t really have a certain way I organized the pictures, I started with just placing them in the corners, then from there I just randomize it.
The next art piece is a Fabric. I wanted to stick to my theme of superheros, so I drew a cape and shaded shadows and the curves. Then I drew a mesh shirt under it.
For my following piece, I edited a picture I took near 30th and market. To further my theme of action, I tried to edit the picture to look like a zombie movie.
My final piece is of the logo for one of my favorite shows, Video Game High School (VGHS), this show is full of action and I thought for my free draw it would be a good conclusion to quarter’s art pieces.
