Senior Art-Q3

Posted by William Matthews in Senior Art · Hull · A Band on Friday, April 6, 2018 at 1:32 pm

I feel as though for this semester I really focused, even more than usual, artwork that relates to my personal life. To elaborate even more, my mosaic and coat of arms are the logos of my favorite baseball team and my past high school. Both those artworks were enjoyments to work with, because it was able for me to put forth more effort. Which resulted in them coming out finished with a little more passion. This semester of art was much easier for me because I have learn so much more technique this year and from years prior; I was able to paint much better than usual compared to earlier this when I struggled; so I'm proud of that. I spent time like I usually do, pace around the hall listening to music for some ideas and inspiration; then it resulted in more passion. So, that's what I want people to take away from my artwork; that it is passionate art with a hint of love mixed in.

Quarter 3- Alexa Lahr

Posted by Alexa Lahr in Senior Art · Hull · A Band on Friday, April 6, 2018 at 1:05 pm

Quarter 3 Art
​My art this quarter was definitely something that helped me calm my nerves. I used different things I was feeling and put it into 6 pieces. Starting off each of these projects I automatically spent the first day visualizing my ideas and thinking of ways to mirror the image. By the next day, I started working on what the final product would be. If I could describe my art in one word, I would say it is abstract.  I also use a lot of symbolism. For example, my collage piece is very different from a typical college, there’s a story behind it. I used the newspaper to symbolize the history our eyes tell and in another piece, I used flowers to symbolize peace.

For quarter three I feel my art has improved than any other quarter. I enjoyed doing more than drawing. I did water color, and I tried a new art craft for my choice piece. I really enjoyed having the space to think outside the box. My creativity for all my art pieces showed. Im happy about my improvements. For quarter four I hope to continue doing more than drawings for art work.

Third Quarter Senior Art - McDonnell

Posted by Anthony McDonnell in Senior Art · Hull · A Band on Thursday, April 5, 2018 at 6:43 pm

Ms. Hull said I should publish the photographs I've taken this quarter with my Nikon D3300 DSLR instead of my artwork (which I have completed as well). One of these photos - the railing on a house - actually forms the golden ratio. The other photos come from a Mexican Good Friday procession in South Philadelphia and views of the foggy weather which rolled in on Wednesday.

Quarter 3 Art Slideshow + Artist Statement

Posted by Mekhi Granby in Senior Art · Hull · A Band on Wednesday, April 4, 2018 at 9:45 am

In the third quarter of Senior Art I dedicated a piece to my family with a thoughtful coat of arms, paid homage to two of my childhood favorite cartoons Danny Phantom and Tom & Jerry, took a risk painting a sunset from my imagination, transformed a water bottle to a rocket, and created wearable art through various mediums. I’ve spent time learning different apps and programs and finally felt comfortable enough to produce a few digital pieces. The golden ratio is the new concept I learned about this quarter, it serves as a purposeful addition to my catalog of perspectives. One thing I noticed about my process of making art is that I’m more open to change than I once was, I wanted to be less of a perfectionist so I took criticism and made changes I felt were appropriate. I willingly spent extra time outside of the studio to finalize multiple pieces although I’m not sure how well my dedication shows through my artwork. Some of my most important sources of inspiration would be my personal experiences, many of my ideas were based on impulse. I used things around me to influence my creations which I found to be helpful and something I’ll continue to do.

I think I could have done better throughout this quarter as far as getting the assignments done on time. I definitely need to work on some time management, so that I can get things done in a timely manner. I think I did pretty well with the coat of arms, I was able to really be focused and finish a good piece of work I did. Another piece that was one of my favorites was the choice piece I did, I did a sketch of some abstract work and then filled it in with sharpie markers to give it some color. I've always loved doing abstract work therefore I decided to do that for choosing my own art piece.

Artist Statement


During this quarter I worked on my capstone a lot in this class however I was able to learn a lot of new techniques. I learned to master working with watercolor, I learned how to be more creative and unique by creating an abstract piece. All the work I created was something outside of my comfort zone. I wanted to try something new for once and challenge myself even more than last quarter. This quarter what I took from art was time management and of course hard work these two things kept me focused all quarter. You need good time management because that's the only way you can meet deadlines. All my studio time was properly spent and invested all of my projects met there deadlines. You have to invest in good work in order to get a good outcome if you don’t work hard your final product won’t be as strong as it could've been. My goal for quarter four is to end strong and reflect properly. I would like to take all corrections from my three previous quarters and use it in my future. Even if you don’t take art in the future you can still use the skills, and techniques taught from the course. I want people to take my motivation and dedication from my artwork because everything I submitted I took time and hard work to complete them.

Q3 Artist Statement: Lotus Shareef-Trudeau

Posted by Lotus Shareef-Trudeau in Senior Art · Hull · A Band on Tuesday, April 3, 2018 at 10:25 am

This quarter focused on using fragments to create larger pieces. Starting with a metamorphosis drawing, we created six different images that, in series, showed a transformation from one object to a different one. Afterwards we each created a collage that followed the Golden Ratio, again, using different pieces in unison which create a more meaningful piece of artwork. Next we worked on mosaics, which really is the epitome of this theme. Even the coat of arms could be considered a piece which uses different images, which collectively represent your family. Lastly, for my choice piece, I decided to stick with the theme of the quarter and make another collage. Working with these pieces has pushed me to consider things as the pieces that make them up, whether that's an image, a table, etc... I have become more attuned to what must be brought together in a perfect harmony in order to make something.

I love the way this class worked as a stress reliever for me. A Lot of the work I produced this quarter was definitely one of my best work. Water coloring was one of the skills that I enjoyed learning and doing. My artwork this quarter really showed my techniques to detail. I learned most of these techniques through videos recommended by Ms. Hull and they really helped me improve my drawing skills by a ton.

Senior Art Q2

Posted by William Matthews in Senior Art · Hull · A Band on Friday, January 26, 2018 at 6:27 pm

This semester's art class was certainly more difficult than the last. However, I think that I was able to do a good job. I try to put 100% into my work, however for the first 3 weeks I really struggled the blind art drawings. I did so bad, that Mrs. Hall told me to redo all 15 of them. However, after watching tutorial videos I was able to redeem myself. I did different hand poses because that's what I was most comfortable with. Color pencil drawings where a lot of fun, I enjoyed drawing simple items including fruits and a color wheel. However, drawing the circles was difficult because I had to ace their color and shadow. And as for the portrait, I wanted to do something different than drawing a self portrait of myself, so I decided to do my favorite athletes, which was LeBron James. And when we had to do the blind art again, I nearly had a heart attack because it's extremely difficult. But it was certainly fun coloring them rainbow like. This semester was more difficult, but I still had fun and I am proud of my work.
