In the Home Stretch (Art School Series)

So, here I am four weeks away from the end of my first semester of college (one week away from Thanksgiving break, but who is counting right? 😉)! Here is some more of my art work from the past few weeks.

Drawing 101
For the past couple of weeks, we have been going to different museums to draw. We have also started working with the model.

Design 1
We have been doing various greyscale and depth studies. For the first we created a composite photo in Photoshop and then recreated it in three different mediums - ink, acrylic, and pencil.
(Three pics on google drive)

The next greyscale study we did was based on spaces. We took photos of various interesting spaces and then created a sculpture of them. We took the sculptures and photographed them using our iPads. After picking our best composition, we drew the photograph in the media of our choice.


Visual Thinking
The second prompt was the Self. I decided to use an animal metaphor in the form of the owl. The color of the owl in each of the panels represents my personality at the time. The feathers in the piece represent the legacy I have left behind.


The next prompt is Systems. I'll give you a little teaser of my plan for that project. My project is based off of the food chain.


I've also had time to do some personal art. One of the most exciting things I have got to see was a program provided by the Academy of Natural Sciences. They brought in a paleoartist to draw a life size dinosaur. My roommate and I went to watch and worked on our iPads to sketch the Dino ourselves.


I'm going home for Thanksgiving break next Wednesday. There will be some new items uploaded to my etsy shop (some originals!) at that point. Starting next Wenesday, the coupon code HAPPYTHANKSGIVING will be valid through the 30th for 30% off of your purchase.
