Art....

Here are some of the pieces that I have been doing this semester. The classes are definitely pushing my mind and breaking me out of the box. But looking at all of these pieces are so rewarding. Have fun!

Drawing 1

Blind contour drawing, graphite


Contour drawing, graphite

Design 1
(This one is definitely harder of the two classes)


Objective: Line. Design one hundred different lines with one black permanent marker.


Objective: Geometric shapes. Use primary geometric (square, circle, triangle) shapes to design an organic/natural still life, touching all four sides, with a border, with graphite.


Objective: balance and symmetry/asymmetry. Design an asymmetrical but balanced piece only with horizontal and vertical lines in a 16x16 box, with any choice/as many choices of different black inks.


Objective: unity. Design a unified piece with organic leaves and at least 3 different colored construction papers, with a border.
