Chalk drawing

This is a rendering of Starry Night by Van Gogh. As a group we used chalk to draw on asphalt over a series of days. It shows color, balance, line, contrast, shape, and space. This piece was really fun to do because it was fun to work outside, and it was great to see what we could achieve as a group. 

Zoo piece

This piece uses colored pencils and water color paints. It iscacdrawing of an armadillo. It shows pattern, shape and form, line, color, emphasis, and space. This piece was really difficult for me but in the end, the result isn't too bad. 

Typography

Typography is the usage of words in the place of imagery. I used sharpie on a Bristol paper to draw out california. My lyrics consisted of different songs talking about california and I repeted it in a circular motion until all of the shape of california was filled up. 

Name project

This painting is done using acrilic on a canvas. It has my name incorporated into the sand of the beach. It shows color, line, shape and form, contrast space and texture. 

Artist trading cards

These are four of my artist trading cards. They each represent line, color, space, and space. These are only four of 29. They are made on 2x3 cut Bristol paper using markers, stickers, stamps paint and pastels.

Human Figure

This is a contour drawing of one of Degas Ballerinas. Once the outline was drawn I used acrylic to paint in the inside pattern. This painting shows the following principles of art: pattern and movement. The elements of art represented are texture, space, color, line, and shape and form. 

Still Life

This still life is an acrylic painting on a canvas paper. We chose 3 or 5 things to draw then planned out our composition. This painting shows line, shape, color, texture, balance and contrast.
