For the lines in my two artworks I believe they are descriptive because of the emotion they would give off. The first one gave a more calming feel then the second one would be more aggressive and angry like. The artworks were outlines, because it wasn’t as in-depth as a contour line would. The first line artwork had thick lines going to thin lines, along with the lines having curves to them. Then the second line artwork would be very jagged and would zig zag a bit, giving an aggressive feel to them.
The first line artwork gives the feeling of calm and relaxed. The lines would have a wave and curve to them almost like the water at a beach would go against the sand with the wave along it. Then the second line artwork would be aggressive and angry. This is because of how sharp the lines would get and with them not being flat and being continuously jagged.
From the line artworks I believe the first one was better because you could actually see the drawing a lot better than the second drawing. The reason is because the lines on the first one were more on the actual shape while the second one had jagged lines that didn’t have the object as visible as it should.
From what I learned from the Cubist style is that it’s different angles of an object. Along with how some are quite jagged in the way some drawings are done. With this it gave the drawing a more scattered look of an object like if you draw an object then cut up the paper then glue it back together randomly. Another thing that I had learned from this style is how they use gradients in different directions. For example when I did my drawing when there was a break in the image I would change how the gradient would fade.
My artwork shows the characteristics of a cubist drawing or painting. With it showing the different views of an object at different angles and the lines that would be seen as breaking the image. Another thing similar is the change in gradients of an object, like with my drawing when there was a break the gradient would change. When I did my drawing it wasn’t a realistic color palette, which is what many cubists do with cubist art. With my drawing I had used the secondary colors for it instead of doing the normal color of cassette tapes. A challenge for my drawing was trying to do the gradient and make it smooth. A thing I was good at was doing the different angles of the image and setting it on the actual drawing.
The purpose was to learn more about the texture that goes into print making. With my print you can see the flow of how the jellyfish is in the water. It was the wavy lines and curves of the jellyfish that would show what the texture is along with the details put into it. The reason why I chose the jellyfish for my texture print was because it had a nice flow to it so it wouldn't be as difficult to create that motion and texture of the jellyfish. The print is a reduction print because we would use the same block to create the multiple prints and would carve away to do the next color for the print. It’s a relief print from how the paper would pick up the ink from the carving block and wouldn’t pick up the carved parts of the block. The registration is how the paper and block would line up to where the ink that is pressed on goes to the same place. Things that were challenging to me were getting the correct colors for the next print and having enough paint on the roller to put onto the block. A thing I succeeded at was the carving of the block and having each of the hues done.
This painting was to show how much space is being used in a landscape. To me the most difficult part was trying to draw everything at the angle they need to be. While drawing the road it was difficult because it would curve into a different street. Then the more easier part of this painting was mixing the watercolor for the areas on the shading.
