Favorite Object Sketches

My favorite daily object sketch would be object sketch 8th, 10th, 12th, 13, and the 11th. I usually didn't like the object sketches but they were fun. I was fun drawing the chracthers that I drew.

Favorite art journal

My favorite a journal would have to What is Heaven to you. I liked it because it showed what our discription of Heaven was. It was really fun to to make something of what you thought was Heaven. And my second favorite would have to be the first art journal. It was fun drawing of what I thought was the my version of the school.

Final project who am I

Blog Post Final Project Artist Statement 

I really have no clue of why I made this sculpture all I wanted to do was something other than a drawing. I thought drawing would be kind of boring sense we do it all the time, so I changed what I had originally thought of doing. I decided to make a sculpture because a lot of the art work I see at home and on the websites related to African works of art showed a lot of sculpture.  So I thought I would give it a stab to see if I could do work that looked a lot like African art work.  I really don’t think I put any value into the sculpture other than to see if I had skills that could generate something that was different from my usual artwork.   I think using markings and color reflected in some African works the level of ranking within the tribes, so I tried to add a little bit of that heritage to my sculpture; of course I don’t know what ranking within my tribe the marking on my sculpture would place me but the thought was I would be a great warrior.  

The color palettes that was used was analogous to the sculpture or mask I have seen. I used various colors to give an authenticity to the work and to emulate the artwork that I used as inspiration.  I found that I really enjoyed adding my own touch of contours, shapes and colors.  I was even able to see how molding the face gave me other ideas of what I wanted to see.  

The only reason I made this project was because I wanted to try something new. The other thing was that I just wanted to do it for the fun of it.  My eyes guided my element choices by looking at the different dimension that I could add to the sculpture.  There was some efforts toward balancing what I wanted to show in the sculpture versus what the diagram show.  I also had to figure out how to make the mold symmetrical and balance the features of the face so that no particular part over shadowed the rest.   I hope I gave it balance.  I think my sculpture was two-dimensional, because the art work attempts to show the depth of the features in the sculpture’s face.  My sculpture did not utilize lines to show a pattern. I used brown as the primary color since I wanted it to be African artwork related to my own skin color.  I also complemented the primary color with other shades of color as I have seen in other paintings and sculptures of African warriors and hunters.

I kind of like making the sculpture because it was fun molding the clay into different shapes and using different implements to make depressions or trying to mold a cheek or make lips and eyes look realistic or not so realistic.  When it came to adding color to my sculpture I used paints that I already had at home.  It was somewhat difficult to give the sculpture an even smooth skin tone plus the shades were a little off for what I wanted.  I think next time I’ll play around with more ways to make different shapes or try to make it more realistic, maybe even do a mold of myself.

Art critique

The name of the person is Liam Wilson and the art they criqiuted is the scream. The things that stand out most to me in this photo is the little men. Because they are small in a big picture. The green and blue do. That war is a scary thing these days. War scream. It was used as a real life looking experience. I don't know. I think they did because they liked the way it looks. That people are scared about war today.

1.The line technique that was used was implied lines. It was used on the face, the shape of the pants, and the angle of the sword.

2.I think using the lines stays in character with Japanese anime and gives  a genuine likeness to the art form.

3.The direction of the lines form shapes that depict action.

4.We used straight lines that come to a point to emphasize hair in action.

5.The anime character was chosen because anime is very expressive and can show a lot of action.

6.The simplicity of using lines allow everyone in the group to help shape the character.

7.If I were to change it I would use the cross contour technique.

8.I learned that there are a lot of ways to construct art.

9.I think that the most difficult piece was the hair because it was supposed to be spiky which made it difficult to make.

10. The two things that we were unsuccessful in doing were making the hands hold the apple and the sword. However, the most difficult part was making the eyes.                                         

The freedom of art can be anything.
