I decided to draw the man with colored pencils and used the different colors to show how he is moving and what he is feeling. I then used the watercolors to hide the face to show how some people hide their emotions.
This tile was inspired by a mosque in the Middle East. I enjoyed putting the details on the piece and found it interesting using the layering techniques. Although it does not look the way I want it to, I enjoyed the process and like the piece.
For my graphic alphabet, I decided to use different diseases and illnesses that teenagers and adults suffer from. This is shown through the different bodies and how they feel and look like when they are suffering. The letters that I used where S for sad, B for bulimia, D for depression, and A for anorexia.
Over the past semester I have grown a lot as an artist. I have used new mediums and have worked a lot on my weaknesses. Out of all of the artworks I have the ones that I will add to my AP portfolio is my fractured medium and my colored pencil drawings. I hope to create more artworks like this in the future, and hopefully it will help me develop my concentration.
- Identity
- Teenagers - Teenage life: Behind the scenes - Hardships of life around the world I decided to base my trading cards off of the in things that I am interested in and I enjoy drawing. Therefore, I decided to do a line drawing and a drawing of a bear with half of its skull exposed. I used Prisma Colors for the cards and enjoyed drawing them. I was able to work on my ability to use colored pencils, and also used new shading techniques, which helped better my understanding as an artist.
Although it may not look completed, I decided not to color in the eyes on purpose. By leaving them blank I think it allows the onlooker to have their own perception of the piece, and question where the human is looking. I also decided to leave out the eyes to have them blend in with the background and show how much we are influenced by society, without even knowing it.
Due to the fact that this is the first time I was using colored pencils, I was thrilled when I realized how fun they are to use. By using the pencils I have learned a great deal with shading and layering different colors. I have also learned about the importance of value of color, shape, and form.
In this piece I used watercolors to subtly resemble a face looking in the mirror. I also began drawing a barcode in front of the eyes, and hope to finish it and paint it black. My reasoning behind this is to show how identity can change due to society and the consumer market. By using the "watercolor drips" along the side of the lower face, I was able to learn more techniques about the fall of the drips, and how to layer them. Overall because of this project I learned the value of light to dark in the piece and the importance of space.
