My first blog entry, woo! Well, being it so close to Thanksgiving. I wanted to start off by saying that, I am so thankful for my mom and dad because without them I wouldn't be going to such an amazing college. Being at an art school has changed my life. I have been able to bring out more creativity and hope. I never thought I could draw, nor paint as good as I do. It has made me realize that I can do anything I set my mind to.
Next thing is, I have been working on two projects at the same time-- both due Monday. The one for my Observational drawing class, is coming really well. I drew it out nicely and just need to shade it. I also made another copy, so I could color or paint it. The second project is for my Perspective Drawing class, and it is very hard for me. We're at 4-point right now. My group picked seasons, so I draw out four trees for the four different seasons. That was the easy part. Now, I have to come up with things to draw for each season. BUT, my teacher did not explain this one so well, so I don't know how to put the things in perspective. I've been thinking I will just go ahead and start to paint it. The backgrounds will be different for the four different seasons. Another thing is, this is our first time using watercolors. I hope it comes out well-- came out pretty well.
This is my finished 4 point perspective work. I don't really like it that much. My teacher said it was pretty good, but I could have lowered the horizon line (the sky line) down more, so that the trees would have curved more. I made an 81.
That's my one for Observational class. I really like it. All the shapes have a meaning behind them. The green thing is confusion. The fourth purple circle is beauty. The black lightening strike is anger. The blue curvy line is calmness. The box is a gift. The pink circle is love. The dark blue thing at the bottom is expression or creativity. The other blue thing is sadness. The brown thing is a chess piece for my Grandpa. The wing thing is a hand. The triangle is home. And the four things on the bottom right is my family.
Wish me luck! I'm off to my Drafting class. Yes, school on Saturday. >.> Hope you enjoy your Saturday!
Thanks for reading,

So exciting! We get to follow your early career. Can't wait to see and hear about your projects. I don't even know what four-point perspective is!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that! Four-point perspective is really hard to explain.
ReplyDeleteI really like to colors on the 4point perspective one. Very nice combination. It's cool how you made the shapes on the other one have meaning. Me like.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I like the colors too. The main reason why I made them have meaning is because that's how my teacher wanted it, but I really like how it turned out :) Even though the colored pencils sucked.
