Breadth 5 : Extreme Foreshortening/ Point of View

This is In-class assignment number 3. The breathe topic was: extreme foreshortening/ point of view. I drew Lauren in class. I sat below her. It is done in graphite. It was really difficult for me because I am relatively inexperienced in foreshortening . I think I should smooth out the graphite more, and get more practice.

Breadth 4: Shelter

This is the second homework assignment that we had to to. The concept was "shelter". It is done in watercolor and ink once again. This piece is about the little hermit crab and his tiny shell. He is small in a big world, and his only shelter is his shell, Looming in the backround is a little girl who wishes to pick him up, which could be fatal because children aren't gentle.

Breadth 3: Recipe sheet

This is the second in class assignment that we had.

We got to Choose what we wanted to do. I did a self portrait in watercolor and pen. I could of used better planning stratagies.

At home Assignment 1

Breadth 2: Still life

For the first at home assignment we got to do what ever we wanted. I decided to do a still life. I painted all glass objects on a green sheet. For the media I used watercolor and pen. I really like the composition. I also think that this piece would have been much better in acrylic or oil paint.

Breadth 1: Line

This is the first In class breadth assignment. For this piece I drew The covered sidewalk area next to the carpool area in the front of the school. I did it in Graphite pencils on white paper. I was bored while drawing the piece , and Now I know that it showed thru in my art work.

Research for art assignment set 3

F0r this set the assignments the in class assignment was "Extreme Foreshortening/Extreme point of view". The observation had to be 50/50 with the aid of a photo permitted. This was pretty hard for me because I'm not good at foreshortening.

I did alot of practice sketching in my sketchbook, but nevertheless it didn't come out so great.

It needs more visual tension, and I need to try to stop making things parallel with the sides of the paper and probably some better mark making ,Oh well.

For our homework I did a watercolor landscape of some trees, then I went back in with colored pencil to add the details. I really liked how other medias help bring a sort of punch to art work. I liked it but I should of made my backround balance the foreground.. oops. I looked at Gregory Conley http://www.watercolorpainting.com/gregoryconley/landscapes.htm and Maud Durland http://www.maudart.com/Landscape2.html . I love how there work looks clean and not forced.
