Sketchbook

Goals 2017:
This is a double page spread for my 2017 goals for this school year. 
Color Theory:
This is a Two-page spread about Color Theory. Included on these pages I put examples and defined 7 color schemes  and did the same for hue, saturation, neutral colors, and intensity. I have included a color wheel with the definition of color.

Digital Painting Sketch:
This is my sketch for what I am planning on doing for my digital painting. We picked what we were going to do by random. For the project I got: Subject: Wild animal, Style: Pop art, and Theme: Space age.

Watercolor Experimenting:
In class we experimented with different types of watercolor to get a feel  for the different kinds. My least favorite was the watercolor pencil because it gave off an unclean look. The watercolor palette was easy to use and you could control it more. The liquid watercolor was very pigmented and dried quickly and the watercolor tube allowed you to control the pigmentation and opacity the best.

Palette Knife Painting:
In our experimentation unit, I used palette knives and tempera paint to make these mountains with a sunset in the background. I layered and mixed paints in different ways on my palette knife in order to get certain outcomes.

Grounds/TOC:
In this part of our experimentation unit I got to experiment with different techniques through my technique of choice (TOC). In my ground, I used a palette knife with metallic tempera paints in the colors gold, silver, and copper. The silhouette of the butterfly was made with black tempera paint. Even though I used the same paints for my ground and butterfly, they both had very different finishes and textures.

Harlem Renaissance:
For this sketch, I had to research artists who created art during the Harlem Renaissance or those whose art was portrayed by the Harlem Renaissance. I researched many different artist's work and have found main themes that flow throughout all of them such as color or the subjects in the piece.

Figure Proportions:
In class, we studied figure proportions and on different days, different students would pose in front of the class and we would have to draw what we saw.

  Practice Project 1: This is my first practice project for class. In this I wanted to incorporate objects into the environment. Project 1: This is the first Project we did. In this project we were challenged to incorporate outside objects inside. I chose an environment that the outside objects would feel like they belonged there.

Sketching

The Artist's Eye: In this project I made a two-page spread with my goals for this school year  on them and from that we had to make thumbnail sketches incorporating something from the two-page spread. I used colored pencils for the majority of the eye and then I used graphite pencil for the eyelashes and finally, I used black acrylic paint and a brush to splatter it. Portfolio Cover: This is my portfolio cover for painting. I made it simplistic because I felt like I didn't really have to make it such a focal point because whatever is on the inside is what counts. Harlem Renaissance (Final): This is my final Harlem Renaissance piece. To create this, I researched about the Harlem Renaissance to get ideas and clashed them together. I used colored pencils and water color on this piece. Figure Proportions: In class, we studied the body and it's proportions. This is my final piece for this unit.
