1/17/2017 0 Comments Colored Pencil tecniquesTo create these projects I learned that there are more colors to use than what meets the eye. To create shadows we used light blue and to create highlights we used yellow, which I would have never uses previous to this class. Both of these projects use the techniques Trompe L'oeil. This is when something appears like it is 3d and real when it is just drawn. For the notebook paper we had to look at a piece of crumpled paper and draw the shadows using the blue for cool and yellow for warm. For the candy bar drawing we had to layer many of unexpected colors you wouldn't think would be n in. For example i used not only the blue and yellow for the highlights and shadows butI added some green for effect and gray because the wrapper of the candy is silver. The other colors helped create the shiny metallic look.
11/30/2016 0 Comments one point perspective Linear perspective was discovered during the 17th century by Florentine architect-engineers. One point perspective is a little different, it is when a drawing has only one vanishing point on the horizon line. This method is so effective because it shows how things appear to get smaller and smaller as they get further away as they converge to the vanishing point. In my art I used one point perspective because there is one single vanishing point that all of the three demential points converge to, making it appear as though they are coming out of the background. 11/30/2016 0 Comments Slab Pottery unitFor our pottery unit I made a pinch pot, a leaf tray, a coil pot, a bowl for the Empty Bowls organization, and as my independent project I made a woven tray. All of these projects went through the same process to become what they ended up as. At the start they were all clay that was elastic like so it's easy to work with and stretch. Then when the bowl or tray was crafted and left to dry it became in the stage of leather hard. This is one of the best times to work on you pottery because it easy to mold, shape and fix any flaws there might be because its no longer differently. Then when the pottery completely dries or is bone dry where its firm and brittle, its called greenware and is ready to be fired in the kiln. When it comes out of the kiln the clay is no longer a gray color its white and called bisque ware. The clay can no longer be turned and recycled back into clay after it becomes bisque ware. You can then glaze the pottery which gives it a glass like coating so it looks finished. For the Leaf tray i did something a little more eleacticy. I used a texture of leafs or in other words made leaf shaped impression in the clay when it was still wet so that when it was fired and glazed it looked like there were leaves stuck in it.
10/24/2016 0 Comments my artist: Leonid afremovI Chose the artist Leonid Afremov because when I first saw his art work i was inspired by all the colors used and the short brush strokes he used to create the backgrounds. I liked the colors and the subjects of his art. I chose his painting called "Paris Of My Dreams" because The Eiffel Tower can be portrayed and painted in so many different ways and perspectives.
