Sequence Pastel Drawing

This is a sequence pastel drawing. We did this one by our teacher putting a can at our table, ours was dr. pepper. on the firist day she put a full can that was completely normal. We then had to draw it aqnd add out shadows and light and darks. The second day she crushed the can a little bit and then put it at our table. We then drew that with the light and darks and added shadows. The last day she had crushed the can completelty as then we had to draw it and add lights and darks, this was the hardest one to do because it was so compacted and we still had to make it look like the can. After that we had to color the background and then make it light and dark. All in all I had a lot of fun doing this one!

Print Project

In this project we were told to find pictures and put them together. I picked 2 pictures, one with a butterfly and the other with a flower. After we made a thumbnail sketch of how were going to draw, we had to trace an outline of out easy-cut that we were using as the printing thing then we drew the design in the outline very darkly. Then we laid the desgin on the piece and then rubbed it on top to transfer the desgin so we could cut it out. We then made an artist proof to see what else we need to cut out or how much more deeper we had to go. Then we had a list of things to make and did those, after we cut what we needed to fix. We then went back and named them and numbered them and signed them.

Acrylic Landscape Painting



To make the composition of this painting we were suppose to find a different background, middleground, and foreground. Since I took this picture, I just added clouds from a different picture. Atmospheric perspective is how an artist makes a painting look more realistic and artistic. An artitist creates atmosperic perspective by added lights and darks to it and also adding highlights. I had to create a light cource in this painting. I did that by making one side of the painting light than the other and adding cast shadows to it. It was also part of the rubric to have a color scheme. The color scheme I used was complementary with blue and orange. For my brushstrokes I used side to sode horizontal and then up and down light strokes for the grassy thing. I had value in my painting by added white and black to colors to make them the value I needed. Black obviously makes the collor darker and the white makes the color lighter.

Ceramic Project

The medium of this project is white clay. The size is about 8.6 inches wide and 2.3 inches tall. The design element stressed duing this project was form. The technique that I used was "hump" meaning that I layed my piece of white clay over the plaster I used. My piece could serve as a purpose for holding some kind of candy, but my family has not used it yet. I created a desgin for my project by using a flower as my inspiration.  I just folded my template in 4 sections and then cut a hump. That is how I got my design. I learned how to use a slabroller in this project and also how to smooth things out on the sides and such. I also know the different stages of clay when it is drying. They are plastic, leatherhard, bonedry, bisqueware, and glazeware. I learned how to use a kiln and the importance of it drying and getting glazed all the way. If i had to redo the project I would keep everthing the same but I would ad color.

Pastel Still Life Project

To decide what my composition was going to be I had to make many thumbnail sketches. A thumbnail skectch is a drawing the size of your thumb that an artist uses to decide how they're going to put their artwork together. A veiwfinder is something that helps you find how an artist is going to look at their painting and help find an area to paint. It helped me decide on my composition because I was able to find the best way I could look at the prop(s) and draw the m&m's to make them look really good. I made the items look three dimensional by adding shadows and highlights to each things. I created a light source by making one side of the background lighter then the other, indicating that that was where the light source was coming from.
