Contour:Room draft

This was my attempt of a contour drawing of our art classroom. (I wasn't able to get much dine on it) I need to make sure to adjust the angles as I draw horizontally according to where I am sitting. I also need to make my lines smooth and clean. The proportions also need a bit of work for this to look better.

Contour:Final room contour drawing

1) For the most part my line is very fluid. There are a few points where dark little dots can be seen where I hesitated trying to figure out my next move but for the most part it is very smooth and not very sketchy. 

2) My practice contour line room drawing and the back pack contour drawing helped me better understand how to pay attention to details and when to get to them.

3) An outline drawing just has basic shapes and no details whereas the room contour has details. 

4) My interpretation of line is normally very sketchy. However for the contour drawing, we are supposed to use fluid lines so I worked to make my lines smooth.

6) I learned how to work in small areas at a time and to use my lines to create perspective. If I could recreate this piece I would fix the table on the left and make it look cohesive to the piece. 

Homework: Contour drawing of a plant

For this drawing, I drew a contour with branches coming down in the fore ground and full trees in the back with the house on the property. I did this drawing based off of my neighbor's yard because I found their weeping willow to be absolutely beautiful.

Final Critique

My absolute favorite project so far is the grey scale ribcage painting I am close to finishing. It's quite different from anything I've ever done. However, I do think that it needs more highlighting to contrast the ribs from the background especially since everything is in shades of grey.
My least successful art project has to be the glass mirror sculpture I was working on. I need to work on creating a sound structure and then it will be perfectly alright. Hopefully I will be able to fix both if these pieces so that their original design can shine through!

Juxtaposition of Textures

I came up with the idea for this from my like for rain in the fall. I love how the leaves look and how everything smells and how everything looks like it's painted in watercolor. So I decided to take that idea and use it to paint leaves as if they were dripping down from the tree like water droplets rather than holding the typical shape given to leaves.

Translucent

This piece, done in broken glass shards, is representative for how someone can feel when they are depressed or grieving. The idea is that the glass figure is the other side of a mirror which actually shows how we feel inside. The broken and hollow figure represents just those characteristics, brokenness and emptiness.

Broken Beauty

I have recently been working in creating a glass sculpture made of colored broken glass. The idea of this sculpture is to show what someone's emotions would look like if someone felt broken and empty inside. I have finally finished cutting the glass and will hopefully be gluing the pieces Monday. During cutting the glass I did end up with a few cuts but I cannot wait to finish this project.
