Value, Line and Texture Drawing

Posted by Daniel Baez in Art 2 · Hertz · b1 on Wednesday, January 11, 2017 at 12:16 pm

The reason  why I have created this work is because I was gonna draw actually gonna start by drawing a cube but some house expanded on it and made more than I was going to do. Which became sort of like two hallways.

At first what I was hoping to achieve was a cube but I saw that it wasn't coming out the way I wanted it to come out so I wasn’t accomplishing my goal. So then I just decided to add random thing to my drawing and came up with two hallways like if it was an apartment, but I drew it randomly so I didn't really do it based off of two point perspective.  

I think that what my art communicates to any viewer is an illusion in most of it and many different colors just mixed in, also how I fixed it by adding the two points of perspective and then fixing it which made it way better.  

What I think I’ve achieved through the creation of this art is how to draw a two point perspective piece of art.

I don’t think that my current work relates to any of my previous work because when I learned how to draw a one point perspective room I was a freshmen and I am now a sophomore. And I haven’t learned how to draw a two point perspective drawing this was my very first time doing this.

My piece of art fits into the Abstract Sculpture Sean Newport made a sculpture that causes an illusion and I made a drawing causing an illusion.

The first thing I did was draw a rough draft of what I wanted to do which was a cube. But then I just switched up and added plenty of things and made lots of changes. I had to eliminate so many things and add others.

What inspired me to draw this piece of art is that last year I learned how to draw a one point perspective room but this time I wanted to do like two hallways going to two apartment doors.

I guess you can say that this work reflects the world we live in because nowadays there are various artists that draw pieces of art like the one I did. I don’t really think that this work reflects on my own life. My experience was last year because I learned how to draw 3D objects and illusions.  

I think that my work could influence or make an impact on the world is because when people look at my drawing they can come up with so many stories to it because of the various things I’ve drawn.

Knowing what your doing is very important because I didn’t know that I had to draw two point so I could draw the walls of the halls perpendicular to one another and so that everything can be equally measured.

Do some research or ask your teacher about what your doing make sure your 100% you're sure you know what you're doing.

In conclusion I think that I have improved my piece of art in a major way because I started of with just a cube and ended with 2 apartments. This is why when your drawing you should have an open mind because you never know if you're going to expand on your drawing or make a whole new one that’s better.

Essence Artist Statement

Posted by Essence James in Art 2 · Hertz · b1 on Wednesday, January 11, 2017 at 12:11 pm

​ I chose to create this art because I thought that it would be unique. I had two different pieces art and looking at them I really liked the way they worked together. I have a love for eyes and flowers, I never thought it’d look nice to combine them. I just wanted to convey an image that catches the eye and looks nice. I think it communicates that the artist has a love for eyes. I think I achieved the view I was trying to get across. I think since a lot of my pictures are of eyes this one connects to it, but it is also an improved version of my past attempts. My art kind of reminds me of Wolfgang Tilmans. I created two separate pieces of art and attached them together to make one. I first drew the flowers, then the eye. Together they worked well so I decided to make that my final project. I didn’t have any inspiration from anyone other than myself. It doesn’t really reflect the world we live in. I guess it shows how there is art and beauty in things that you wouldn’t think would make sense. Maybe my art can influence others to try to make something that doesn’t necessary makes sense, but still reflects themselves into the work. The shading was an important part of my work. It adds to the effect for me somehow. I learned a lot more about shading and texture making this. (blending as well)

Value, Line, Texture Project

Posted by Aniyah McGee in Art 2 · Hertz · b1 on Tuesday, January 10, 2017 at 10:07 pm

I created this work because the art project that I chose focussed on textures and I felt that eye sketches demonstrated texture in artwork nicely.  My vision changed throughout the project because I was not sure what I wanted to do, but for the drawing I chose, my vision was to have an eye that showed a wild, fierce, look to anyone who stared at it. I felt it was challenging because my drawing consisted only one eye.

I think my art communicates that the eye of the beholder could say many things even though it haven’t spoken at all. I think I achieved a piece of artwork that means different things to different viewers, but it says the bigger picture states the same. My current work relates to my previous work because I think my previous work has been very technical. Even the color wheel that we did previously had a technical design to it which was the dream catcher. I think my work mostly relates to Cindy Sherman because most of her portfolio is in black and white I feel like her art is very technical like mine. The process for my work was not like others.

I switched through my materials from choosing to draw with regular pencils or charcoal pencils, even though it was more difficult I chose charcoal because it looked nicer. It was very hard making sure the charcoal doesn’t smear and even so, it still looked smeared in the end. Sources for my inspiration were pieces of artwork that I’ve found off of various websites, but the artists were anonymous or unknown. Most of the pictures I’ve seen came from Pinterest , so I couldn’t really find the real source of the artwork.

My artwork reflects my life because it reflects what want my personality to be like. I feel that the eye gives off a fierce “don’t mess with me” kind of look and that is a personality I want to portray in life. I don’t want people to fear me , but I do want people to know me as the girl that gets what she wants by hardwork and determination. My work could influence the world because it could help women see that they could be this determined girl in my artwork and don’t have to back down from a fight when the times get rough. Certain technique is important to the artwork because I feel that if I made a mistake in the eye itself then some people would get confused on what the parts of the eye were, like in my eye there is a reflection of a light in it and I feel like it could easily be mistaken for something else. A new technique that I experienced with in my project was working with charcoal. I feel that next time I use it I will be able to handle it more properly when moving my artwork into my backpack so the pencil won’t smear into my other papers and around my artwork

In conclusion, I’m glad I did this project because I feel like it wasn’t too difficult, but it did present it’s challenges. Also, I feel like since I made did this project it gave me an idea on which project I wanted to do next because it was certain parts of the projects that I enjoyed that I found I would do more of in some of the other projects.

Eye color wheel

Posted by Brian Bess in Art 2 · Hertz · b1 on Thursday, November 3, 2016 at 3:44 pm

I created an eye. I had an unrealistic animated style eye though. I chose to do an eye because it was more than just a circle. I could be creative and that’s why I didn’t make a normal realistic “boring” eye. My vision for the picture was to have fun and be different. I know other people did eyes but I feel as though my eye was different. I don’t know how the audience will react.


  This relates to my previous work because when I draw a person they have to have eyes. I always wanted to draws eyes like the one I drew but it seemed difficult to get the proper angle I wanted. This time I just drew it and it came out how I wanted. I don’t know what contemporary art is. My work doesn’t really fit in with the history of the art we did in class. We never really drew eyes or anything related to humans. An inspiration for my eye is when I looked up cool eyes and a character from a show popped up. I’ve been influenced by a lot of cartoonists. I really liked drawing and when I was younger I drew my favorite cartoon characters. I didn’t learn a new technique but I did learn how to draw a cool eye.


 So overall I created my eye because it was interesting and unique. I was influenced kinda but it was all mostly my thought. I like the way it cam out but I don’t like the colors when I painted it.

Collin's Color Wheel

Posted by Collin Shaw in Art 2 · Hertz · b1 on Thursday, November 3, 2016 at 8:15 am

​I made this because I thought it would be a good way to convey my idea. I knew I wanted to do something with basketball but I didn't know how to make it into a color wheel. But when I looked up basketball color wheel I found what I wanted to do. I think that they will think that this perfectly fits me. People express their feeling and their passions through art so I showed my passion I have done basketball art works in the past and this can fit into a series. I looked on google for my pictures. No artist have really influenced me in the past to make any art projects. Only basketball influenced me.

Eye Color Wheel

I created this project because i think the eye is the most interesting part of the body because there is do much detail and story withing someones eye.My vision for this work was to make a creation an eye that had the details of an Instagram models makeup but also when you look in the eye you see inspiration and open ideas. I meant for this piece of art to appeal to teenage girls.
This relates to my previous art work because I usually direct to the audience of teenagers. This fits into today contemporary art because most "art" is directed towards teenagers and how they think.I think it fits in with historic art because it experiments with colors and using colors to create emotion.It is important to go with you gut when completing a project because if you dont then the project wont come out how you visualized it and you only have yourself to blame. A new technique that I learned is that when painting, you should brush in one direction because it makes the painting look more uniform and appealing. I also learned that being open to you own ideas and not worrying what others think can make a big difference im your work.

My Color Wheel Project !

Posted by Zaniyah Norman in Art 2 · Hertz · b1 on Wednesday, November 2, 2016 at 8:36 pm

I chose this art piece I created because the original one I chose failed horribly. I kept messing up , and the more I messed up the more I got stressed. With all of my messing up I fell way behind. So I came to my senses to recreate an easier project. My overall visual of my project is that I made a basic color wheel clock. I think i’m doing a little better on this one since it’s basic , and i’m actually taking my time doing it. I expect honest comments because it will help me do better on the next benchmark. My current work relates to my previous work because for my previous work I also chose a difficult project to do , and ended up failing it. I just did a plain , simple, boring project, just to get a grade because I was so focused on doing the big creative one. My art fits into contemporary art because it is not too fancy , yet not too boring. It’s just easy and modern. My art also fits into the history of art because multiple people have created a wheel similar to mine just because its basic. A number of projects I do for painting , I always seem to come up with the better looking ones in my mind , but on paper it’s a different story. I always use hard ideas , when really all you have to do is think simple then when your done your outline that’s when you be extra creative. To come up with my original project I just googled some ideas, but for my final piece I just thought of an umbrella , but then my lines kept ended up being crooked , so I thought I should draw extra lines in the middle of the lines I already had to create more shapes and ended up liking the idea. An artist that influenced me was Georgia O’Keeffe. She influenced me to do my flower color wheel with all of the difficult shapes and the pretty light coats of paint. Another person that influenced me was my friend. I really liked how hers was turning out but didn’t wanna use the same idea so I spiced my up a bit adding the extra lines. A certain technique that is important is drawing very lightly drawing your outline just incase you dont like it and wanna erase it . When you draw too dark it’ll stain your paper. A technique that I learned while doing this project is when painting you do light painting first and then you do more paint just to get an even amount of paint onto your paper.

My Color Wheel Project

Posted by Mercy Morgan in Art 2 · Hertz · b1 on Wednesday, November 2, 2016 at 8:00 pm

  I chose lips for my color wheel project because I thought it would be more creative than everyone else just doing the basics of a circle. I made them really big because I've been told I have big lips unfortunately. I'm not saying the one's who did a circle weren't being creative I just wanted to do something more....complex. Overall, I really like my project. There are some disadvantages with me with this project but I honestly think I did a really good job at catching back up. I expect my audience to really like my project as much as i like it. 
  I think my current work has gotten better over the years of my previous work because last year I had no idea what I was doing. Now I'm more experienced with art and the criteria. The thing that inspired my art was..myself. I wanted to do something that was about me. I chose a flaw that I didn't like about myself and turned it into something beautiful. The artist that inspired me was Joan Mitchell. Her art is so fascinating because you can't say what it is or what it's not. It's complicated and that's how I look at myself. I'm complicated, that's why I like her art. A new thing I learned was that painting over paint numerous times can ruin the board. I learned that the hard way. 
  In conclusion, I really liked this art project. I think it fits me and I was influenced by Joan Mitchell. Her complicated art. I really expect my viewers to like my art because not only is it neat and colorful, it's also very creative.

Color Wheel Project

Posted by Raquel Singleton-Wright in Art 2 · Hertz · b1 on Wednesday, November 2, 2016 at 3:26 pm

I have created the color wheel because I felt that it would be easier for me to just do a regular circle but I wish that I was more creative in adding stuff to my circle to show some creativity in my project. My vision was to show that I can use tertiary colors, primary colors, and secondary colors for a color wheel. My main vision was to show that I can be very creative in a art project. Which is something I will bring to Quarter 2 project. I expect my audience to know that I at least tried to be very creative in my project and worked hard on it. I think they will say that my project is very nice and she worked hard on getting the right colors. My current work relates to my previous work because I’ve used different colors before to show my creativity.

My work fits in the creativity of current contemporary art. My work fits in with the history of art practice because in this time I am still learning how to do different art styles and how to paint. My work fits into a series of projects I have done because most of them involved being creative and for this project you could be very creative in what you do. How artists use colors to make a nice piece of art influences my images. I have been influenced by Vincent van Gogh because of the creativity he had put into his artworks. I have also been influenced by Pablo Picasso also because of his work. A certain technique is important to the work because it helps you get the right color you need to make your work. My technique is to make sure I mix the right amount of colors to create another color. This technique is important to the work because it is easier to get the right color also so that you don’t add too much of a color. This is also a technique I have learned in the process of making this work.

In conclusion, my piece was overall a good project but sometimes difficult to do because it was difficult getting the right color for tertiary colors and mixing them with white and getting the right color for that. But at the end I still tried my best. My artwork shows the hard work I put in to create it and how I used the colors to express the meaning of my piece.

Colorwheel

Posted by Nathan McGill in Art 2 · Hertz · b1 on Wednesday, November 2, 2016 at 12:42 pm

The art piece I chose to do was a color wheel of a eye with a certain background. I chose this piece because I thought that it would be interesting art piece and I wanted to see the outcome of it. When I finished the art piece I was very satisfied with the results I did not expect the piece to come out the way it did. Even though there was a number of people who chose to do an eye I still think mine was good to I did not really pay attention to anyone else's. I have always went all and out with my artwork on previous project but I do not think that I did that for this project but I will be sure to do that on the next one.

During the process of making this piece I had a few difficulties such as mixing the colors and how dark or light the colors would come out. I think that in the past there has been a lot of color wheel art that have become famous. This projects is not really similar to any other projects I have done in the past but it did come out good like other projects I have done in the past. The important techniques I used were time management, patience, and hard work. If I were to do this project again I would make sure that the colors are mixed well and make sure that before I start I have all of the materials I need to begin.
