4 hour project

My original plans for my project was to pour paint, but this later changed quickly. I soon realized that i wanted to be more elaborate, I wanted to really go all out on the final term project. There is really no story that i am trying to tell in my painting. My painting went very well, i feel that it looked very similir to some of Jackson Polocks' works of arts. I did come into one problem, the back looked so plain so i decided to spice it up. I took the plastic from underneath my work area which had paint splotches all over it, and glued it to the back. I then had the best idea ever, i quickly ripped off the plastic and the paint came of it, sticking onto the back making much more colorful. I feel that my painting was my best work of the term, it came out exactly how i wanted it. I do not think it could have been any better.

The Book Project

My story is trying to tell story of kids growing into adults. My story is going well so far, most of my pages have modelled off of my first drawings in my sketchbook. Also, the story of my people is going very well, it shows the age changes on the pages. The first challenge I faced was cutting out the right parts of an image to best illustrate me idea. The overall story of my book is turning out very well so far. The one thing that isnt going well is finding the final images for story, because i need to find a child.

Drawing people

Today in drop everything and draw, we drew our other classmmates who were acting as models. We used charcol like utensils and had to draw very generally at first, I liked it. I feel that when i am not to specific with things other than people I have the potential to be a very good artist. I was one of the models and realized that it is not as easy as it may look, it is very tough actually. I liked this particular class because the models were not expecting them to be perfect so my ability at this was not judged to be bad. Hopefully next time I will be able to be just as generic with the pictures because it feels like that is my strong suit in drawing.
