Candy Bicycle

Between the months of October and November we have been working on two drawings. Both of which are alike but different at the same time. For me the candy jar sketch is more fun but the bicycle sketch was more interesting. I haven't really colored something I drew before, so it is a bit difficult to get all the colors right. Coloring is not as easy as you think. My bike drawing had a lot of things going on, it was important to try and get all the details. This drawing took me a while to complete but it turned out well. It actually looked like a bike. Both drawings had their own aura about them but also resembled each other as well. I can't wait to see what drawings we will do in the future. 

Candy Jar Drawing

For our next sketch we had to draw a jar of candy. This will be a tough thing to draw because the candy has to look like it is inside the jar and not floating on the outside of it. So far I have drawn the basic sketch of it and fixed the lines. Currently I'am coloring the candy on the outside of the jar. I'm really enjoying this sketch so far, who doesn't love draw candy? The only downside to this is that we can't eat the candy. 

Bicycle Drawing

This year our graphite drawing was not shoes or fruit, this year it was a bicycle. When I heard we were drawing a bike I was kinda excited for it because it's not something that I normally draw. First I got the basic shape of the bike and then went back to fix the lines. Eventually I began to shade. Shading was much harder to do this time because this year we didn't receive a blending stump, but nonetheless it still ended up look pretty well done. Comparing my first bike drawing to my second one, there is a big difference. Even though I didn't really like this drawing too much I still enjoyed having this experience. 

Welcome back!

It's a new year and also my last art class in my High School. I plan on doing even better than my last two years. The thing Im most looking forward too this year is the metal work and of course ceramics. My metal work last year was very good I was impressed with myself, even though I did not have much time to spare. My ceramics setting was better than my last but this year I plan on making a full set. This year I may not have a whole lot of time to work with my ceramics because of all the Senior things going on including the trip! This is my third year of taking art class and I couldn't be more happy. I enjoy art because it's something you yourself create, and it does not matter if it's bad to other people because art is in the eyes of the beholder right? As long as you are proud of your work other people will be too! It makes you feel good when you see your art in it's finished state and hanging in the art show! Im glad that I can spend my final year here in High School participating in this fantastic art class.

Reflections 2013

The end of the school year approaches yet again and many of us scramble to finish our work. And this year I feel like I did accomplish what I planned on in the beginning of the year. This year I wanted my work to be better than it was last year, and I think it is. My favorite project this year was again the ceramic units. I only made 4 pieces but if I do get art again I'm hoping to make a full tea set. Next year will be my last year in school and I hope to make my work even better than this year! I will always try to make my standards even higher so that I can accomplish more.

Love Conquers All

The top picture is a painting of Venus and Mars. On bottom left is a picture of a girl standing on water and everything is being reflected on the other side but in a different form, this means that there's two sides to every story.

Venus, Goddess of Love and Beauty, can make anyone fall in love or even make them beautiful themselves. She can do wonderful things, and yet she can make them twist and turn. Venus can break you apart and even make you terribly ugly.
Mars, God of War, is a ruthless and intimidating man who causes disorder and chaos among others.
These two eventually come together and fall in love with each other. In some ways they are different and in others, they are alike. Mars, a God himself, could not resist Venus' beauty and fell in love with her. This was a mutual attraction though. Venus fell in love with him. Even though by rule they could not love each other, for they were both already married, they couldn't help by having an affair. The Goddess of Love fell in love with the God of War. Who would have thought that two people who seem completely incompatible could fall in love? Mars knew her weaknesses and Venus knew his. Together they had created some very explosive wars. The worst of the wars was when the other Gods believed that they should not be together. Although both sides had suffered from major casualties, the two still remained together. Fighting could not separate them, instead it made them closer. Once all the disputes had been settled Venus and Mars were still together, even though the other Gods did not agree with it. The two put their heads together and held each others hands.
All is fair in love and war.
