This is my spooky trees painting. The majority of the painting it water color but after the painting dried I was able to go back through and paint small details on the trees using acrylic paint. The main art element I used was value and color. I learned how to paint from background to foreground. My main design element is proportion and scale because I had to make sure that as the trees got closer to the front they were increasing in size. I am very proud of this painting and it makes me happy to see how my art has grown and improved over the semester.
This is my finished dream time painting. The new skill I learned was being able to paint without any pre-thought or planning. I didn't have a sketch or any plan. I simply painted what came to my mind. The main art elements are lines, shapes, and color. My main design element is movement. I was able to incorporate a vanishing point about 1/3 from the top of the painting where all of my lines connect. This was by far my favorite project all year because there were no guidelines and it was so free. My painting has so much going on, with the colors and the dots and the lines, it's pure chaos just like life. These are prints that I made using my blockprint that I carved of a daisy. I was able to carve my block print using the new skills I learned, primarily cross hatching. The main art elements in my prints are color, value, texture and lines. My main design elements are balance and contrast. I enjoyed this project not only because daisies are my favorite flower but because it was so much fun experimenting with the different colored prints, I was able to make prints with one, two and even three colors. This is the snowman that Karlie, Maddie and I made by carving three separate blocks then putting them together to form one picture. Throughout the process of making this block print I learned many skills such as using cross hatching (dark), parallel lines (medium), and stippling (light) to create different values and textures. The main art elements utilized in this block print are value, shape, space and texture. The main design elements present are balance, contrast and proportions. I enjoyed making this blockprint because my friends and I got to work together and the snowman is perfect for winter. This is my pen and ink drawing of a daisy. I learned to use new skills such as utilizing parallel lines, cross hatching, and dots to create the visual effects of different textures. The main art elements that I used were lines, value, and texture. Daisies are my favorite type of flower and make me very happy. In my macro still life I focused on three leaves I found outside on my walk. I began with a sketch and the final product is watercolor. The new skill I developed was making a realistic still life that had correct proportions. The main art elements I used are line, value, color and texture. I used layers of color starting with light and builiding up layers and finally used a blotting brush to create the illusion of texture on the leaves. The main design elements I used are contrast and proportion. These leaves represent the transition from summer to fall. This is my water color of leaves. There are four leaves that are all different and shape size and color. The new skills I have learned while making this painting are to always begin with light colors and built up color in layers, to utilize the white of the paper because it is the only white in your paintings, and to use a blue mixed with brown to make a gray or to use dirty paint water to make a background and shadows. The main art elements in my water color are space, color and texture. The leaves in my painting are brightly colored to represent the transition into fall. A triptych is a picture made up of smaller pictures. In our tripych we each drew a different perspective of the hallways from a central point and once we connected them they gave you a full view of all three hallways. The main difference between the tripytch and our individual drawings is that the tripytch approaches many views in a way similar to a panoramic picture while our individual drawings only focus on one perspective of the hallway. This is my individual drawing of the hall. In this drawing I was able to use a convincing vanishing point and orthagonal lines to create the illusion of a hallway. I created a hall that had doors, and lockers. I was able to use perspective, relative size and value to make my picture more realistic. The new skill that I learned was how to make light structures a lockers. The art elements I used allowed me to create a hallway in perspective. |
