Intro to Art

Hand Drawing

Throughout the process of my drawing, I learned the importance of lines, value, and shapes. I also learned how to put them into practice. I was new to using different pencil hardnesses, a blending stump, and doubling images. My goal for this project was to get my drawing to look as realistic as possible and I achieved it. The hardest part of my project was creating the grainy texture of the wrench. I figured out that the best way to do that was to use the electric eraser to make small white spots all throughout the textured area and then take my blending stump and lightly shade over it.

Landscape Painting

Throughout the proccess of my painting, I learned many new skills. I had a lot of prior knowledge about acrylic painitng, but I still learned new techniques. I learned how to view things as shapes of color and not as what they really were. I also learned how to blend the colors to make it look like the hills have movement. My goal for the project was to keep myself from making it too realistic and like the picture I chose. I think I did a good job of showing the flowers on the mountain in their general area without mapping out exactly where they were and what kind of flowers they were.
