Into to drawing project 11. The upside down Picasso warmup was the most helpful because it showed me that it’s not all about what your trying to draw but the types of shapes you see instead.
2. Composition: the placement or arrangement of visual elements in a work of art, as distinct from the subject.
Value: element of design that defines the light and darks in an artwork 3. Charcoal:
Pros: shows value really well. It’s also easy to erase or just blend in if you mess up. Cons: it’s really messy and smudges really easily. Pencil: Pros: you can easily erase any mistakes made. Cons: You can accidentally erase a little too much when you’re Just trying to erase a little. Pen: pros: it looks more pretty and it isn’t messy or smudgy. Cons: if you mess up, you mess up. Also hard to create valve and shading. 1. What I learned about these activities is how important it is to know how to blend and just make each color work together to make a painting pop and look more realistic.
2. I think the textures will be more helpful for the painting I have planned because it will help make the painting more realistic and defined. 3. I learned most from the skin colors warmup because it helped me learn what colors to use to make it. I learned that different skin tones have pinkish undertones while others have more yellow. 4. Some ways to make brown is to mix darker colors with yellow and just a little bit of black. If there’s too dark some white helped too. 5. To tone down a color, you add a little bit of black or brown Idea of placeIDEA OF PLACE
Painting progress
This place that is represented in my art is a picture of myrtle beach. What’s important about this place is that it was the first time I had gone since I was 5. What was most challenging about this painting was trying to make the waves look realistic. What I feel was most successful about this painting was is the change of blue according to the distance.
