This is my painting of the still life. It was really hard to make the ruler look 3D and show that the tape was lightly resting on it. I tried using correct angles to later show depth and shadows. I wanted it to make it look as realistic as I could, but I struggled on the shapes. I payed a little too much attention and time on getting the right color, when I should have put more time into the dimensions of the ruler. My main focus was color and realism. I learned to pay attention to objects and dimensions rather than the perfect color.
This is my self-portrait. It was very hard to get the contour lines because there wasn't alot of shadows and defined shapes. I tried to really show the shading, but I over exaggerated and made some parts too dark. My main focus was direction and shadows. I learned that you have start out with light colors and then go over if they needed to be darkened.
My spiral design is made up of many squares, triangles, and one pentagon. I made my lines close together and dark to intensify the shapes. I unintentionally made my design look like a whale. the skill I used in my design is straight and clean lines. The art element that I most emphasized in my design is line. Both skill and element is what made my design interesting. |
