So for this assignment we had to get a large sheet of brown paper and draw a full body life size self portrait with accuracy portraying us. So i did a yoga pose of me. My portrait came out really really well it was very proportionally accurate and the pose looked great and it looked a lot like me. However i did struggle with accuracy in the face and i was told that i could have used more shading. I did subtle shading because thats what i saw there wasnt really any dramatic lighting but i could have pushed the shading more. I was overall really impressed with everyones portraits. They were all very accurate. I was impressed with Kades and the texture in his piece and i was impressed by some other girl who had a coat and a hat in her portrait and even did a line background so she went the extra mile. Her name escapes me but i really liked her portrait. We all did really great and i surprisingly had more fun with this than i thought!

So for our assignment we had to draw ourselves sitting in front of a mirror with things on or around us that describe who we are. I’m a flow artist which is a type of interperstove dance with a prop and mine of choice is a hula hoop, and hoop dancing is my life aside from art so I had me balancing a hoop on my head with a peaceful haND gesture and plants and dream catcher and a pinecone in the back. My portrait came out very accurate and I really enjoyed this project more than I thought I would. The only comments I really got were to increase the darks as per usual lol but overall everyone’s portraits came out very accurate and psychologically correct. I think this might have  been my favorite project.

So for this assignment we had to do an ink drawing of a still life set up. I found working with ink to be very similar to working with water color. Something that the teacher didn’t mention but that I discovered is that using a blow dryer is a life saver! Anywho, they mentioned that i had an overall good range of value on my piece but i missed a couple of important shadows. I really enjoyed this project. I thought that everyone did really well for using such a challenging medium.

So we were assigned to do a charcoal drawing of varying objects and sizes with a fabric back drop. I missed the day that we did a critique so I was advised to do a self critique. I believe I did an “okay” job on my drawing. I met all the criteria, but the objects were bland because I couldn’t find interesting ones. Overall value range was good. Pushed the darks, possibly could of pushed the lights more. Not much to critique.

So I really like my midterm project, sorry I don’t currently hAve a picture. The assignment was to do a drawing in two point at a very high or very low perspective of a space with two spherical items in the space with cross hatch shading used. I met all the standards for the drawing and really took my time with this one, and it turned out great! This in turn made me talk more during the critique because I loved my drawing and everyone’s project was really good. You could tell that everyone spent a lot of time on theirs and took the project seriously. It was definitely one of our better critiques because as I opened up more and critiqued everyone started to chime in aND participate so we all got more feedback than usual.

Soooo for the first project i didnt do that well i feel because i kinda of rushed through it and i didnt zoom in enough for my set up, but i really like the objects that i chose. When i was up close to the paper it looked so dark to me but when i hung up the paper in front of the class you could barely see the drawing. I however got great feedback on how to handle just a simple line drawing and make it interesting without using shading, such as using line variation and making sure that the backgrounds are fully built up. I thought everyone did a really great job on their first project, and most of everyones projects were really zoomed in and detailed which i enjoyed. I really liked Kade’s drawing because he sort of framed his work which i thought was cool but the teacher did nawwwt. So anywho, critique one went pretty good and imma d even betta next timeeee :D!
