Squiggle Drawing
Specific elements and principals I use was Line, Value, Space, Form, and Emphasis. How the work is composed/arranged is I drew multiple things that come off the page, I also use the chains circles to create rhythm. I also used the horizon line to create the sea floor, and I scattered shells across the floor, creating rhythm and pattern. My project did evolve because in the beginning, my creation was not going to have legs, but yet swimming in the ocean. I later decided to add legs and place him on the sea floor.
Where I struggled in this artwork was making the legs, because at first I wasn't sure how I should draw them, because I wanted them to fit into the drawing. In the end, I made them different than the original artwork, but still looking good.
If I could change something on this artwork, I would add more to the sea floor, and maybe make it more like a reef. I would also change the chains on the weight holding down the raft, because it doesn't look the greatest and having a raft beside a boat doesn't make the most sense.
For this assignment, we were asked to draw a squiggle on a piece of paper. We were then given someone else's squiggle, and we created a drawing off of their squiggle. I ended up creating a fish with legs, walking along the sea floor. All I used to make this drawing was a pencil and an eraser.
The thing I am most proud of in my artwork is probably either the mouth or the legs. I think this because the mouth makes the creature feel a lot different then if I just drew some teeth, and it also shows how big this creature is. Or, I would say it's the legs, because even though they don't really fit in with the rest of the drawing, it still looks good enough that it makes up for that, and it makes the artwork just a little bit weirder.
