Fill out the form below if you would like me to make comments on your ink drawing of the sea creature. This is for 6th period Art II only. I talked today about the option of vignetting your drawing. This essentially means that as opposed to working with traditional borders, you are going to design the page in a more freeform manner - artistically choosing what to include in the image and where to "cut the image off" as you near the edge of the page.
Terry Kelly is an Australian artist whose work demonstrates some interesting choices in vignette-style composition, especially his drawings and paintings: Portrait Drawings Portrait Paintings Most of the success in vignetting comes from making interesting decisions about what edges to use. Kelly does an especially good job of this with the silhouette of the head and often the shapes of the collar costuming as well - in addition to some rad abstract drawing/paint shapes in the background. Remember, you are an artist, so make interesting artistic choices if you choose to go this route with your drawing. This week we introduced the color pencil project. The goal of the project is to use color pencils as a sophisticated artistic media - we're talking about something more than your grade school cousin's crayolas. You will be using color pencils to create an animal portrait where you demonstrate:
The examples that we viewed in class can be found here, and if you are interested in looking at other examples of color pencil drawing, try searching for "color pencil painting." It will most likely lead you to more interesting results. Also, the video of the Jennifer Lawerence drawing is embedded below. Never underestimate the power of YouTube to find excellent time lapse and drawing demo videos. The artist is Heather Rooney, and her Youtube channel can be found at the link below. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3MRldbJr8avZpdKlNHmmnw As of right now, the deadline is set for end-of-class, next Friday. Check the calendar for any updates. Good luck! |
