1/7/2018 0 Comments Mixed Media ArtI used Tissue Paper as a layer and I chose the colors pink and purple because I love those colors and the pink reminded me of the color of pointe shoes. I think these colors of the tissue paper really made the art pop. I then used a Black Sharpie to draw the picture of the dancer. I wanted the dancer to appear as a shadow. I then used White Paint to outline the dancer. I also used the white paint by sponging it over the doily to get the beautiful, flowery print. After that I Cut the edges of the paper to make it look more interesting and less straight edged. Then I Sewed In Black Yarn along the edges to give the art a border. I also like the black yarn sewed into the paper because it brought some of the black away from the center and tied it in to the outer border.
My word was "Thankful". I chose to draw a dancer because I am a dancer and I am very thankful to have dance in my life and to be able to share my thoughts and love through my movement. I portrayed it by drawing a dancer on top of the tissue paper. The dance is a shadow because it represents the word "Thankful". :)))))

Charcoal Drawing
The pros of charcoal drawing are that the charcoal is fun and easier to blend than other materials and it gives the drawing a little bit of a texture, which I really like. The darkness of the charcoal, when you press it down hard on the paper, gives a nice demension to object and makes it look 3-D. The cons of charcoal drawing are that it is so messy and gets everywhere and it is hard to fix a mistake once you make it. When you press the charcoal down too hard it makes it really hard to make it lighter after that. Warm Up:
The warm up that I think helped me the most was the pastel sphere. This is because it taught me how to add shadows and light spots based from the light is shining on to the object.
Composition: The nature of somethings ingredients. The way in which a whole is made up. Value: The lightness or darkness of tones or colors. Meet Your Mentor
My mentor is Shaley Khoury. She is a senior at Apex High School and is taking Art 4 right now. She loves the medium photography and she also likes to draw buildings in the sky. Her digital portfolio link is Shaelyn-apex-2018.weebly.com. I think I can benefit a lot by this because she gave me such amazing advice about how improve my art. Also having someone who has already taken the class give me advice helps by making me feel like at some point my art could be just as awesome as hers if I really work hard and have fun with it. I want to learn different techniques in art and how I can use those techniques in my pieces. Learning Color/Paint Mixing
I learned how to mix paint colors to form different tints and shades of color. I also learned what colors are mixed to get to another color, for example, yellow, red, and white make orange! Brown Swatches
Brown is made by mixing Orange and Blue, Green and Red, and Purple and Yellow. Brown can be made lighter or darker by adding white or black. |
