Shaded Flowers

For our quarter 3 art project, we had a list of options we could chose from to create something. Personally, after the one I did last quarter I didn’t particularly like any of the other choices. But, the most interesting to create to me was the Value, Line and Texture Drawing. Speaking in a perspective of someone who doesn’t have much art experience or a lot of skill, I think this was the most simplest to create. You can come up with anything while doing a project like this because putting value, line and texture into one drawing is something easy to do. It's a collaborative process which creates something unexpected and beautiful in the end. My overall vision for this project was to be as simple as possible but to also bring a pop to it as well. I think brings a good vibe because of everything incorporated into it.

The process I used for this project isn’t complicated nor did I try to make it something that I knew it wasn’t going to be. I involved basic things; colored pencil and marker. But, to make sure there was texture within the drawing and to make it have value, I had to shade differently to make it pop. By shading differently, using my colors effectively and making my lines bold, they all work together to make a more eye catching piece. This artwork is quite different than my past projects because I usually try to go above for my grade. Now, I am trying to make my pieces subtle and that makes them not so harsh. I feel like using simplicity as a key factor in creating something makes your art more presentable. Trying new techniques always makes my work look different, but I feel like that really shows in this piece.

Not much came together to make this artwork. I never usually think too much about my projects. But, I do think that it shows that not much is needed to create something beautiful. I also feel as though using your imagination is a key point in art as well. Techniques are a big point in making your project the way you want it to look. And as an art student, I take past mistakes and other techniques into consideration while creating something new. Nothing major comes out of anything I create. The only way my art work impacts me is making me feel confident in myself when I get compliments or if I think it looks good. Art doesn’t have a direct definition in how it is suppose to look so I feel like whatever you do is going to make its own statement; that is what I took out of this quarters project.
