Best Sketchbook Piece

This is a sketch I did based off of one of Raphael's sketches, of a woman in a hat. Using only graphite pencils, to shade all shades of dark to light, on normal paper, it shows line, shape, texture, and contrast.

3D object

This is the un worked stool I will be painting for the 3D project next semester, and an in-progress photo of my stool. Then it is the completed product. It shows color, texture, space, unity, pattern, and movement.





Color Expressive Portrait

This was an image selected that showed emotion and set into high contrast, then painted with India ink in colors that portrayed that emotion. It represents line shape, value, contrast, space, and of course color.

Watercolor Landscape

This was a watercolor painting of a landscape of our choosing. This particular painting shows line, shape, colors, space, and texture. It also represents and asymmetrical balance, movement in how it makes your eyes follow the painting, and emphasis, shown by simplicity and how your eyes are drawn to the back ground's power lines.

Gouache Ink Resist

This one was done by painting with gouache onto paper, then when that was finished, covering the whole thing with Indian ink and then rinsing it off, so the ink only stuck to some parts. This painting represents line, shape, value, color, space, and texture. It also shows natural patterns from the turtle's shell, and the water shows movement.

Candy Balance

This piece shows a large drawing of a specific candy wrapper, then six smaller, but zoomed in drawings of different parts of the wrappers. It shows line, color, shape, space. Along with emphasis through the isolation of certain parts, and unity.

Alphabet City

This is a collage of different photos taken that each represent a letter in the alphabet. It shows shape and form, along with space, color, texture, and value. Movement is also present because of the way the composition makes your eyes follow the letters of the alphabet.
