Contour/Texture Composition Drawing
Contour/Texture
Composition Drawing
We were to draw the
outline of two real people doing something from a magazine, book, internet,
etc. Then we were to shade in a texture from anything. Like a leaf, grill, and
tiles for example. What I tried to do with my drawing was to bring the two
people facing off each other stand out. I used the grill of my fan to do that
and I shaded the outside of the people. I didn’t want to ruin the two people facing
off so I thought of a texture that when I shaded in the two people will be
standing out. So I thought of the screen door. The screen door worked and made the
two people facing off stand out.
Pos/Neg "Don't draw the Bird"
We were not to draw the bird on the picture, but the shapes around it. This drawing was easy because the shapes were not that hard to draw. what was interesting when i finished the outline of the shapes i could see the bird. after that we were to shade in the shapes that we drew instead of the bird.
cross hatching seated boy
Cross hatching seated boy
We were to draw the outline of the seated boy and then use a
technique called crosshatching to create value change. Crosshatching is a
method used by artists to build various layers of value by overlapping lines.
This drawing was kind of challenging to me because it was my first time using
this technique in drawing and just had to get used to it.
mask
Mask
We were making a sculpture of a mask. This assignment also
needed time and patience. The thing like about this assignment is if you made a
mistake you could start over just like a drawing. This is also one of my favorite
assignments. What was interesting was when I made the mask and fired it, it didn’t
come out the way it supposed to, but when I started to paint it and add some
detail to it I was happy with the outcome. This is also is something that shouldn’t
be rushed and this assignment relieved some stress from my other classes. I wanted to do the jiggle saw mask from saw because i wanted to use this as a decoration for Halloween.

print making
Print making
For this art assignment
we were to carve a drawing that we made on a lino block. We were to carve into
the block so that those parts don’t get printed and the parts that were uncut
is the part were it would get printed. This assignment was not to be rushed
because you didn’t want to make any mistakes and you really have to patience for
this assignment. I enjoyed doing this assignment because this helped as a
stress reliever and it help me from not being bored. I did a portrait of Jesus
and an angel because family is catholic and I wanted to print something for
them to hang on a frame in the house. I
also wanted a challenge. I didn’t want to do something simple. Advice for this assignment
is DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE DAY BEFORE ITS DUE! It’s not easy

Upside down Picasso
While I was drawing this picture I found it easier to draw
it upside down. It was weird. But I kind of get it because Mr. Wonenberg said
when you turn the drawing upside down you don’t see the drawing itself just
lines. So I think that’s why I found it easier because all I saw were just
lines, but as soon as I got to the head it got frustrating to draw. Because I actually
saw the head I didn’t just see lines anymore. Same goes with the hands and
fingers. This was fun and something maybe
I should draw everything upside down so all I see are lines.
Keith Haring drawing
After watching Keith Haring’s made me want to draw because I
didn’t feel intimidated from his drawings. I thought I would see like
impossible things to draw, but I was wrong. He drew easy things for people to
get a message that he was trying to say. Keith Haring’s drawing weren’t hard to
understand that’s something I like about it.
It was hot one day and I decided to draw something about
global warming. Why? It is because I didn’t like the fact that it’s getting
hotter and all the pollution going around the world. If you notice the old
model car, cement truck, and the factories you may think I’m for global
warming, but no I’m not for global warming. How you said this in the drawing is
from the two magnifying glasses zooming into the earth. One was zooming into
the North Pole and the other was zooming into Saipan. In the magnifying glass
that was zooming into the North pole, I drew a snow man slowly melting and a
thermometer slowly raising to indicate that the earth is getting hotter and in
the other magnifying glass that was zooming into Saipan I drew a figure person
sweating like crazy because of the heat of the sun. I drew the two magnifying
glass zooming into two places because people need to take a closer look of what
is happening if they don’t stop global warming.
