This is a batik, where wax and crayons are melted together and applied to a sheet
with a brush. This wax is then ironed out to form a loose picture.
Also in my commercial design class, we had to recreate a letter from different
fonts in a database. The letter M comes from my last name.
This is a charcoal pencil drawing done in my fine arts class.
Looking at a photograph I created this work with oil pastels, one of my favorite mediums.
Also created in my spare time, this drawing is from
charcoal pencil. It happens to be one of my favorites.
For a final project, I chose to try Roy Lichtenstein's style of art in my painting.
However, he created prints, and I used oil paints for this and all of my works.
One assignment for a painting was to purchase something under five dollars
and incorporate it into a composition. I was inspired by this slinky when I found it.
While studying Henri Matisse, we encountered this collage style of painting.
In fact, I found this to be one of my favorite works and styles.
As I stated in my drawing class, we worked from many different themes, this theme focusing on
something that represented our Winter Break. I saw many sunsets and sunrises to and from work
each day, and I think they are beautiful. This is my representation of one that I had seen.
For one project without a theme, I chose to represent one's path through life. The left area represents those negative
things that happen to us or caused by us; the right representing the positive things. The main point here is that there is no
direct line between some aspects of one's life; however, there is no straight line in either of the directions, either.
To emphasize the importance of depth and angles, we spent a class sketching clothespins;
this is my final for that day, created by ink applied from a sharpened twig.
Beginning with charcoal dust, I drew this piece from an apples still life by
removing the charcoal with a chamois and kneaded eraser to create contrast.
Just before the human figure study we first studied skulls and a skeleton.
This drawing was done with condensed charcoal and white chalk.
One day we were to focus on one part of the skeleton, and here I used vine charcoal to portray the skull.
During our study of the human figure, these two sketches were each one to
three minute sketches. The medium was charcoal pencil.
Also during the human study, this pose was for five minutes only. The medium here was also charcoal pencil
This is one of the many final sketches of the male model we had in class. We
spent nearly five weeks studying the human figure, each class focusing on a different
aspect. Here, we were to incorporate not only the movement of the lines and angles,
but also tone to enhance the sketch.
One day, instead of the usual male model, we were given this female. We spent the
day tackling this challenge, and at the end she posed for thirty minutes for us to portray her in life-size,
in which I used vine charcoal on brown paper to further emphasize the dynamics of my life-size sketch.
For our final project in the class, we were to use a mirror to portray ourselves or something that
represents us. I chose my feet and shoes as my self-portrait, where I used condensed charcoal and white chalk.
