BRAINSTORMINGThese sketches were used to figure out which drawing I was going to chose. I did an avocado, tomato, lightbulb, and the inside of a trash can. SKETCHESThese are my IN progress sketches that show my process. Final DrawingDescribe how you arranged your composition. Discuss your use of the elements and principles. Is it a successful composition?
I arranged my composition to enhance the inside of the tomato and I also wanted the inside to be my focus. I think that it is a successful composition in showing the unseen things.. It really focused on the inside of the tomato which is what I was hoping to do. Did you use a wide range of values? (A range from white to black with at least 9 values). Explain how is this evident? I did use a range of values and this is evident through the seed section of the tomato which is much darker (almost black) than the rest of the peace. There is also range of values in the shadows that go from dark to white. Explain how your knowledge and creating practice studies with value contributed to your piece. The knowledge that I had in creating practice studies with value helped me to know how to create the darker portions and make it fade out smoothly. This helped me create the smooth outer part of the tomato by creating different values fading into one another. Describe the blending and transitions in your objects (discuss your use of pressure with pencil and other techniques to achieve this). The blending in my peace was achieved by starting with full pressure and then gradually lifting to a light pressure. I also created dark areas first and then faded them out by erasing or even going out gradually with my pencil. Explain how your interpretation of texture is essential in capturing the look of the object. My interpretation of texture is important for this object because the tomato is smooth and does not have lines or anything on the outside so I needed to create this smooth effect in order for it to look like a tomato. The inside of the tomato was more bumpy and if I had made it smooth like the outside, again it would not look like a tomato. If you could recreate your pieces what would you do differently to enhance the final outcome? If I could recreate my piece I would make the values darker and add even more highlights. This would help to make the image look more realistic.

For this assignment we had to take four objects and contour draw them in both pen and pencil. In this assignment we had to draw to contour drawings(one in pen and one in pencil)each is 20 mins. This helped me learn the value of time when doing an art piece.... the slower you go the better. For this assignment we had to draw a cylinder, cone, pyramid, cube, and sphier. I feel like I did an ok job but I feel like I could smooth things out better.

DESCRIBE: Describe your piece and what it is. How would you explain it to someone over the phone or who has never done this type of art before?
My piece represents the beginning of the online school year. For this project we had to make a story out of three images that represented this theme. I chose technology, mask wearing, and a single desk for my three story images. They all work to create on main idea. ANALYZE: Explain at least 1 of the following in your piece: space, color, shape, form, value, texture, or line. Explain at least 1 of the following in your piece: Balance, unity, variety, emphasis, movement, pattern, or proportion. My piece uses dark colors to make the point that this beginning of the school year is difficult through online. I used space in my images to give the viewer a break. The image in the far left shows unity through bringing different pieces of technology into one image. This image also showed variety through the different technology I used. There is lots of movement in my second image which gives the idea of walking and this shows that people have to wear a mask everywhere they walk. In all of my images I emphasis one object more than the others such as the desk in my last image. INTERPRET: Explain your idea behind your piece. What inspired you? How does your piece show this? (technique, subject, color, artist, other) I was inspired by the loneliness of our situation and the huge change in technology usage. My piece shows loneliness through the single desk and through my darker colors in my images. The desk seems to show power which is what I wanted in order to show the power loneliness has over you. I also showed the increased technology usage with my first image which showed a variety of different technological objects. The middle image was inspired by the annoying masks that we must now wear everywhere. I wanted to emphasize the idea of everywhere by taking the image in the forest which is not a normal place you see someone wearing a mask. JUDGE: What do you find successful about your piece? What did you learn from this assignment? I found that my images were successful in bringing out the idea of being in virtual school. They all showed creative aspects of online school and the quarantine. I also love the angle in which I took all of my images... I really think that each of them give off their own message. I learned how to take photos that interest your viewer and say something to the audience. This activity was really fun and it definitely made me think! For this project we had to draw shoes, a self portrait, a hand, and a one point street view. I used drawing pencils and an eraser for all of these pieces. The shoes are based of an image online, the portrait is a picture of me that I took, the hand is my hand, and the street is a city in Italy from the internet.
