Art 2 process

Before starting to draw the blob, I tend to draw an outline of the blob, and start drawing inside so that when I got to the actual blob, I know what to do.

the other blob....

During process of background

Final product, I really feel like I messed up...a LOT \@_@\

my original idea was to use pencil to sketch a background (i regret of not doing so), but then I switched to water painting, which is my weakness.

Yeah...this is a bad piece of art.

Skeleton Sketching

First, we picked part of the model to draw with, which I challenged myself to draw (almost) a whole skeleton

This was a bad mistake as I started the ribs but by then i had already started, and wasn't willing to restart one...so i kept on going.

I forgot to take a picture after finishing the outline...but I am going to say that this is extremely hard to draw, and I'm still wondering how are artists able to finish the outline in no time..

When adding charcoal and chalk (I think it is chalk), i realized that by only adding white and black to this is not enough, so i took the suggestion form my teacher to use the color of the background also.

Final Product, most parts of body are labeled with scientific names.

I really do regret picking a whole skeleton...I'm pretty sure I have the most body parts labeled (tails not showed of course..)

OIL

PASTEL

PROJECT

Final product above, I feel like the leaf on the right is what I felt most accomplished. The one on the left is hard to manage with the colors since managing the shapes (green) in the leaf is hard and I don't have a lot of choice to make the background color unique.

First step: Arranging the props to places to where I wanted them to be, then taking a picture so that I could work on it in the future (props used by everyone in art class).

Second step: Sketch the outline of the objects AND started to get the general color onto the outline

getting the dark shades in with a LOT of colors...

more shading......

WATER COLOR (draft)

Final product for draft.

First: finding natural figures online/from book and from real life.

Scond: arrange all figures to places what fits the best for myself. (bird moon was added afterwards)

Third: adding water colors (this was before the oil pastel project that came up, so there wasn't that much color variety, color test on left).

focusing on moon as background

WATER COLOR (final)

I've some issues with scaling...

I drew a 1:1 scale of most things from the practice one, so leaving it with a lot of space empty. What I did was I added some more of the same items next to the other one.

From what I had learned from the previous practice one, I noticed that by coloring the foreground first will leave with the background more visible, so this time, I started with background.

Then forwarding to coloring the moon since the moon's light is suppose to envelop the night sky around it, but not the other items.

shape of cloud was added right before I started water coloring, the hardest part was to mix the right color for the cloud since the some of the night sky was already gray.

Artist highlight:Andrew Myers

An can enrich other people's life by creating artworks that is related to those, if not all, who needed them. The photo on the left is a portrait of the old man on the left who was blind that's made out of ~4000 nails with paint. ( I gave my definition also because I listen to songs from some singers who originally lived in poverty, and their songs really did portray what they want to say).

What is Empathy Art to me?

Well based off text, most people would answer it as a kind of artwork that shows a common feeling/emotion. But to me, a student who had depression (yes I no longer have depression!), it was not just a piece of artwork that shows the common emotion, but it was also something that had a soul. It could be a soul of just empathy, but also it could help get someone out of their situation (yes I'm mentioning about myself, a song and a couple of upperclassmen helped me...a LOT. I mean it, they helped me a lot, and if someone is wondering what the music is, here's the link, or the link for the live version...I recommend the latter).

What type of work would I create for those that might have various challenges?

Well...Nothing would be challenging IF we know enough about it, just like flying into space, it seemed impossible to human a couple of hundreds of years ago, but since now we have the technology, we had gone to the space, the moon, and even planning to reach Mars. Ok that was quite off topic, but what I'm trying to say is that as long as we're inspired enough and had enough motivation to accomplish it, nothing is impossible. Most art pieces I drew (even though I sketches from sample pictures...) are those that I felt like had a meaning to me. I don't just pick out random pictures and start drawing/sketching them out, it's not going to have the kind of "feeling" I want within them.

William Morris

The reason I like William Morris' glass work is because of its uniqueness and its color use. I especially like Morris' pieces on the right because of my way of understanding the pieces. Crows commonly symbolizes bad luck or misfortune, but in those two pieces they seems to be fixing or finishing a piece of unfinished piece.

It might honestly also means that the crow is finishing a piece of cursed pottery or something, a single piece of art work can have many different meanings.
