Four Drawing Assignment
Blind Contour Drawings
These are my three blind hand contour drawings. I progressed a lot from the 1st to the 3rd. In the 1st one I was drawing in the same spot not moving the pen to get the shape and details. While doing the 2nd one I learned that I need to move, even though it feels like I'm drawing all over the paper I'm most likely not. Then on the 3rd drawing I was able to get more of the concept down, not quite there but more than before.
Modified Hand Contour
We were to draw three modified hand drawings, for the 1st one I wasn't able to use the time and finish the drawing. In my 2nd modified drawing I was able to finish more of the hand and bring it together with the details. The 3rd hand drawing is my least favorite the positioning was more challenging for me.
Contour Shoe Drawing
This is my Contour Show Drawing, I definitely don't think its my best. I wasn't able to capture all of the details that I wish I captured. I also need to work on my proportions I started off good then as I kept going I blew the proportions off.
Contour Bookbag
We were told to do a contour drawing of our bookbags. This came out better than I expected I do think more detail could have been added. I need to learn how to be able to capture the details I am seeing.
Classroom Contour Perspective
1. I tried to use one fluent line throughout this drawing, it was tough but you can see this is evident because every line is connected.
2. My knowledge was contributed to this, when doing other contour drawings knowing how and when to add the detail.
3. An outline drawing doesn't include the details that a contour drawing does.
4. The interpretation of the line shows the details and the contour that you were able to capture with one line.
5. If I was to recreate this drawing I would probably do a different perspective, being able to capture more details.

Paper Bag Drawing
For this paper bag drawing we were to scrunch up a paper bag and get all of the completions of the bag. I think I could have done better in shadowing and being able to capture all of the details.
Values Form Shading
For my values form shading I had two forms in front of me a cylinder, and rectangle. We were to show the shadows that we were seeing caused by the forms. And show how we have control over out pencil. Something I could have improved on was being more consistent with my shading.
Contour Plant
In this assignment we were to find a plant, inside or outside and do a contour drawing of the plant. I chose to draw a plant inside of my house, having to draw the wooden table I could have done better at adding the details. But being a contour drawing only being able to do one line making that hard.
At Home Still Life
We were to gather at least three items from our home and arrange them in a pleasing manner. I found three different sized plastic pumpkins. I was able to surprise myself with this assignment, I was able to capture the detail and shape of the pumpkins well.
Crushed Can
We were to chose a can, crush the can, and draw the can. Being able to add the details from the creases in the can that was created. I really like how mine came out, although I wasn't able to get much of the effect of the can being crushed it still came out good.

Final Still Life Drawing
1. The craftsmanship of my drawing is clear, and is blended well throughout the drawing. With being able to capture the different values and shadows though out the picture onto the drawing.
2. I tried to make my values and shadows realistic, adding texture, shape and form. These values are important because they capture an understanding of the image you are trying to recreate. 3. There is a clear light source, coming from the top left. 4. The compositional sketches were important to get a feel for the space, and perception of the image's scale. By doing the compositional sketches you already have an idea planned out for your final. 5. I think my final drawing is successful because I was able to capture the different values and show how the light source is reflecting on the different objects being displayed. 6. Yes, the proportions and structure of the objects are correct. I was able to place the objects in the correct perspective and scale. 7. This drawing has a pleasing composition. The proportion and placement of the objects perceive a pleasing composition. 8. The center of interest is the statue, being the main interest, pulling in all the other objects. 9. When blending and shading all the objects it was hard to make some objects stand out more than others without making them too dark or light. 10. Shading and adding different values was a challenge for me, being able to capture the different values and them to the drawing was difficult. I was able to overcome this by shading little at a time. 11. During this project I have learned a better understanding of composition, placement, values and light source. |

1. My craftsmanship from this drawing is decently executed, I was a little rushed in completing this drawing. I feel that I could have executed a neater organized background in this piece.
2. In my drawing I created the look of transparency through the mason jars. Being able to see the picked green beans and asparagus through both of the jars.
3. Through my choice of colors I tried to display the colors I was picking up through my eyes from each vegetable. I was able to use various colors to perceive my drawing.
4. I was able to create contrast in my piece though the placement of two jars, and align them to give off good contrastment.
5. I used textures in the green beans and asparagus, when coloring them making sure to use the varies of textures in my piece. I tried to highlight the glare that was given on from the glass but wasn't very well portrayed. There wasn't really any shadow given off in my drawing.
6. It is important to understand pastels and prismas as a different media
you can use. Through this project you needed to be able to learn and understand the pastels and prisma's to be able to successfully distribute your skills on you pieces and can be used in the future on different pieces.
7. My biggest difficulty was capturing the different colors I was seeing from my reference photo and being able to display it through my drawing. Also being able to get the shape of every object in the jar and perceiving this piece for a transparency look.
Facial Features Drawings
Eyes
These are my two eye sketches where for the first one I was to follow along a video and sketch, then take a reference photo of my eye and sketch it.

Final Protrait
1. The process I went though when developing my art is sketching out the polaroid's where I want them placed to line up with the facial features. Then sketching out the facial features in each polaroid. I did each feature one at a time and added detail along the way.
2. I chose to represent myself through multiple polaroid pictures being placed in different angles and overlapping each other. With a different facial feature in each polaroid.
3. I was able to achieve full range of value through highlighting and shadowing when needed to give off the right perspective through my drawing.
4. My art work is neatly distributed and there is a well understanding of what is being shown through my piece.
5. I was able to capture the look I wanted through my many reference photos. I found different photos of the same idea I wanted and got and idea off of my references to be able to produce what I wanted through my work. Then also having a reference photo of myself to achieve the look I was wanting.
6. I made sure I had the correct facial feature placement by using tracing paper and measuring with the eye scale to get correct placement.
7. It is important to be able to know how to draw all facial features so you can draw a portrait in the future and be able to sketch out what you are seeing.
8. The learning how to draw facial features I personally think was the most beneficial to me, watching the videos to get a better understanding on how to draw the features and use the different tools correctly.
9. One of my biggest obstacles in my portrait was the hair, I overcame this obstacle by watching a video to help me get an understanding and make the hair look how I wanted it too and realistic.

Reflection
Through taking this course I have learned quite a few things and improved from previous years, while this class was also challenging it pushed me. Previously I had taken art II online and was struggling and wasn't putting much effort into my work, this semester I was able to use my resources and tools to make my work completed and presented as best as I could. My favorite unit was the facial features unit with the self portrait. Learning how to properly draw the facial features really helped me throughout this unit.
