9/19/2017 0 Comments Two In One ProjectSlide Show I chose the medium colored pencils because when I thought about my drawing I thought of a lot color. Chalk and pastels are beautiful but I did not want to use them just because they are a bit messy.
I added a sailboat and a plastic water bottle into one. I started off by coming up with twenty objects and then choosing twelve of those to make six combinations. I then drew those combinations as thumbnails. I then chose my favorite combination and drew a rough draft. When I began my final draft I started by drawing my horizon point of the water. I then drew my sky which fades into a light shade of blue as it gets closer to the horizon point. Before this I drew the outline of my sailboat and the outline of the clouds so I would know when to color blue. I then attached a sail and put a yellow stripe on it and the water bottle to kind of tie those objects together. I then colored the wooden boat brown. After that I colored the water. My teacher Mrs. Sudkamp taught me how to do water by drawing small ovals. She showed me that the closer I got to the horizon point the smaller the ovals would be and the bigger the ovals would be when I got to the bottom of the paper closer to myself. This made the boat look farther away. I really enjoyed coloring with the colored pencils and combining two objects together.

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. |
