Stick Drawing

This is the 2nd project of Art 4 Hrs. India ink and watercolor. Not really my favorite. Drawing with a sharpened stick held 6 inches from the point isn't easy but I think it turned out okay.

Constraint

This is the 1st project of Art 4 Hrs and so far my favorite! :) This is the erasure lesson, my take on that was just having the leg move a little. I used black and white charcoal, black and white acryllic paint, and blue conti-crayon on paper. The black figure is showed as being suspended by wires like a puppet, and the white figure is sortof omniscently and mournfully overseeing this, unbeknownst to the smaller figure. :)

Shadows

ART 3!!
This is one of my favorites!!
I cut out papers of various colors and some different textures, then glued them down and spray painted a thin layer over top of it.
I drew this small still life I set up, in black and white charcoal, and small amounts of watered-down white acryllic paint.
I mostly just dipped the brush in water to blend the charcoal.

Kandinsky-themed project in Art...1? This is watercolor on paper, outlined in black sharpie. Probably one of my favorites! :)

This is another project from Art 2....it was a lino block print making project. I drew a vase with the word "peace" on it. It has cracks on the sides with water (i guess) spilling out, and small people climbing up the sides of the vase, at the bottom it says "world"

This is a chicken head pourer i made out of clay in Art 2. This is my favorite 3-D piece i've made so far. I molded each part of it by hand, and painted it with acryllic paints. The eyes, top beak, handle, and comb were attached by scratching and applying slip to the affected areas.

Fun With Foreshortening

This is my fore-shortening project. Acrylic on Canvas. The model is also my English teacher :)
I chose for him to do this pose because I thought it would look cool, and I really didn't know what else to do. The words in the background were already on the canvas from a sign previously made by some AP students. I thought it looked neat and it sort of inspired the disheveled look of my background. I chose the colors in the background because green and blue are my favorite colors. Overall I liked this project, the only thing I'm not completely satisfied with is his face. The black areas look kind of washed out because of the reflection of the light outside where I took the photo.
