Candy Still Life

Artist Statement

Describe: The artwork is of pieces of candy. I used graphite, black/white charcoal, and pastels to make it. I chose these pieces of candy honestly because Ms. Medsker said we could eat them afterward and those are my favorite. Except I chose the heart lollipop just because I thought it'd be really fun to draw. I used color on the heart to make it a little more lively.

Analyze: I used framing and overlapping objects. At first I was going to make it completely black and white, but then I wanted to add some color on parts of it. Between the starbursts and the heart I chose to make the heart pink.

Evaluate: The picture is of candies that I really like to eat and draw. If I were to revise it I would want to add more shadowing and silhouettes; I would also do more shading on the starbursts.
