In this project we were instructed to create an art piece based off of a specific image that was black and white. The main part of this project was creating the image out of tinny dots. By creating the depth of the image you have to separate dots from one another if you want more of a lighter gray, or if you want to create a darker look the dots should be closer together.
The Constraints of this project were: Paper Pencil Pen
Value In Black & White
In this project we were expected to use our close observation skills with a contrasted photo. With using our close observation we had to create an art piece that showed line quality, value, and perspective. You can see in my drawing that I used my line quality as the cat's fur, then I did my best in creating a more life like cat with using value. The picture highlights the white more so then I would like, but when you take a look at the eye you can see that there are some areas where it is brighter than others. Lastly my perspective of the cat is the same to picture I had printed out, I made sure the cat was proportional, and filled the negative space just enough to create a whole picture.
The Constraints we had when creating this art piece: Black Paper White Charcoal Black Charcoal Eraser Blender
Pastel Portraiture
In this project we had to create an art piece looking specifically on warm and cool colors and how highlights and shadows help an art piece, specifically in this project a pastel art piece. In my art piece below you can see that I was able to use grays, black, dark blue, and green to create shadows on the woman I drew. When adding highlights on the face I added a light yellow and white. Another objective was to be able to create an art piece off of a photo. Below you will see my main piece, followed by a slide show of my process on creating this piece.
