First Self Portrait

Self Portrait-Final!

Final Project!

A zoom up view on the face.

Contour Portrait

Here is my contour portrait. I enjoyed this assignment, although it was a little challenging drawing from a mirror!

Paper Bag

Here are some pictures of my two drawings. For the first one I crumpled up the bag, but this was very challenging and frustrating. For the second one I chose a larger bag and did not crumble it.

Ant's Eye View

Bird's Eye View

Ant's Eye View

For this I placed  the objects on the stairs and sat below.

Another go at it. This time I tried to make the objects larger.

Bird's Eye View

For this I sat on the stairs above the objects. My dog tried to eat the ball!

Another go at it.

Two Point Perspective

Earlier attmt

Final: Two Point I definitely found harder than One.

One Point Perspective

Color

Fall Tree:

The background colors are an analogous color scheme (blue and green) tied in with the frame (purple). The  leaves in the foreground are complementary color schemes with the background colors (green and red, blue and orange). It was a nice change of pace to finally work with color!

Collage!

This took some time, but I thought it came out looking pretty cool.

Still Life

My three still life(s). I thought they got better each time.

Prints and Rubbings

I hope I did these right!

                                                Prints of a cotton ball dipped in black paint.

                          Finger "prints". I dipped my fingers in black paint and made finger prints!

                           Crackers dipped in black paint. I thought these looked rather like snowflakes.

                          Rubbings done with a quarter with charcoal, pencil and conte crayon.

Contour

Cross Line

This was hard. The square shapes were definitely more difficult than the rounded shapes. In the end the picture looked like scribbles.

Quick Contour

Slow Contour

It was so hard not looking at the page!

Final Contour

Tea Pot: Ink

                                                                 Front View

                                                  Running Off the Edge
                                I accidentally dripped ink on the paper. It makes it unique, at least.

                                                     Running Off the Edge

                                                       For my last one I tried a calligraphic line, with a few free, thick strokes. It didn't come out all that well, but it was interesting to try.

Lyrical

This is another one of my favorites. I tried to make it sing.

Tea Pot

Contour

More Contour

Lyrical 

I added steam to give it a more fanciful look, and to set it apart from the others.

Implied

This is one of my favorites.

Structural

I thought I would give this a try. Obviously it did not turn out well.

Running Off the Edge

This is one of the hardest assignments for me. I just have trouble strategically placing the object where it will run out of room. The spout of the pot actually did run off the page, it just doesn't look like it because there is more newsprint paper underneath it, making it look the the sheet continues.
