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

                                                  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.

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.
