Required Questions 1. When I critique artwork, I like to follow a set of four main steps to evaluate a piece. First, I like to describe what I see when I look at a piece of art. What materials and techniques were used to create it. Then I look to see how different colors and shapes are used to create depth and illusion. After that I find out what meaning is portrayed by the art. Was the artist trying to send a message in their work? As I approach the end of critiquing a piece, I like to evaluate the processes and techniques that the artist used, and then I decide if I like to piece or not. 2. An older piece I would like to critique is my pen drawing from the drawing unit. Looking at this piece, I can see that is a perspective drawing, using 1 point perspective to construct a drawing of the Stahl House, in Los Angelas, California. I used a series of rectangles, trapezoids, triangles, and squares to convey depth to the drawing. Although I decided to draw this structure for fun, The Stahl House is one of many houses included in an experiment led by an Architecture Magazine in the late 1940s. If I had to change one thing about this piece, it would be the shading on the roof of the building. I think that leaving it empty or just coloring it in all the way would have looked better. Other than that, I think I did very well as this was my first perspective drawing. 19.Pick two pieces that show how you have grown as an artist. Compare and contrast how you’ve grown, how the projects are related, and what you thought of each. -These pieces show how I have grown as an artist because they show what type of art I like to make, and how I can recreate images to the best of my ability to add different dimensions. -I used 1 point perspective.
-I took the picture on a field trip to Washington in the 8th Grade. - I ran into some problems on the trees because I had to recreate the color I had used on previous days while working on this painting. -The warmups helped me a lot with creating different textures and colors. I did my portrait of Malcolm X at a young age. I decided to do a picture of him because I have learned a lot about him from my father and I had the chance to meet his daughter, Ilyasah Shabazz. I used regular pencils, and colored pencils. Starting out, I drew a guide for the piece, using a circle, and drawing lines for the eyes, nose and mouth. Next, I drew the shape of the eyes and the hairline. After that, I drew the ears. When I was finished with that, I continued by finishing the other details of the face, including the nose, lips, and insides of the eyes. Then I started shading and added a touch of color in the hat. I think my best features on this piece were the eyes and nose. Although I could have added more detail to the pupils, I think I did well with sizing placement. I also think my proportions on this piece were very good and realistic. If I had to change anything, I would change my medium. Working with pencil is easy. However, I could have done a better job shading and I would choose to do a painting next time around. 1. The most helpful warmup for me was the eye tutorial. It helped me a lot with my piece since my subjects eyes are a very important part of his porirait.
2. I was really surprised by the eyes and thier hieght on the head. They were a lot higher up then I had originally thought they would be and that was the most surprising part of the facial proportions -My linocut shows off the theme "line" because there a-lot of straight edges, corners and curved lines incorporated into the art.
-My Piece was successful because the print came out clean and there we just a couple places that didn't get as much paint as the others. If I had to change anything, I would make cleaner cuts with the blade by using the widest tip possible for the white areas and the smallest ones for small details and lines. I would also choose a design that didn't have as many sharp edges and lines since I was just starting out. My Process
-Creating my Box, I added a Mahogany Color to the outside of both pieces, then, i added a second coat of white with blue speckles to the inner piece, as well as the inside. Next, i added a green glaze with blue speckles to the inside of the outer piece. -I found that making my sides as straight as possible was a challenge, and they often came apart from the other pieces. Next time around, I would definitely spend more time on getting a near perfect box. My most helpful warm up was the Hue Value Scale because it helped me create natural colors that made my painting look a lot better.
-My piece represents home for me. It is a lake in my neighborhood, and its important because its a very relaxing scene and I like to fish from that lake as well. -The most challenging aspect of the picture I chose was the trees, they required a-lot of detail and time to paint. -I feel that my colors were the most successful thing about my painting, because I could show more "life - like" color values. - Starting out, I applied my base colors of my painting (various greens blues and browns), then I filled them in with different textures. After that I added very small details to the leave and reflections in the water. The Color Mixing activity showed me how to make lots of different colors. It also helped me with creating different shades of each color that I created. Brown is made from mixing a few combinations of colors. For example, you can mix blue and orange to make brown, as well as yellow and purple, and a few other colors. |
