Exploration & Experimenting

In this project, I did not do any introductions or digging deeper. This project was free-balled by yours truly and I am proud of this. I think it was a very interesting medium and I enjoyed doing this project. I am going to continue using this medium in the coming weeks.

Observational Art

For the my second project, I decided to try observational art. I found that this is hard when most of the time we are in a room where we can't be somewhere that would be more ideal for a nice painting. I liked the ideas that I got from Digging Deeper and my warm ups, but I soon wanted to go straight to my final. I drew my hands twice in charcoal. I have concluded that this was a failure. I don't like the outcome. As soon as I finished these drawings, I started something that I was thinking about before I started this project.

Text Art Final Project

     For my text art project, I decided to add to mediums to create a more dynamic product. I used acrylic paint to create an interesting and abstract background and magazine clippings to convey a message. These elements together create a questionable mood with unknown motives. Altogether it is a questionable piece but the background can be seen as water, or a sky, or an erupting volcano all in a monochromatic style that sets a blue mood. If I were top change something about this project I would make it brighter in the middle to show the importance of the middle-man (no pun intended) and do a better job of fading the lights into the darker colors.
    I plan on starting the observational unit. I have not started challenges but have looked through the dig deeper part and will continue that.
    In the next two weeks I plan on making a relatively large piece about one of my favorite things; football.

Text Art Project

Dig Deeper

I used Pinterest for my dig deeper. I had never used Pinterest and it allowed me to see a lot of different mediums and messages that art can send.

Challenges

These are my challenges for the text art project. I tried to different mediums to try two different things.

Final

For my final project, I am thinking of using newspaper as a medium to make a scene or doing a sort of self reflecting portrait thingy.
