First, from Color Theory:
This is a monochromatic version of Salvador Dali's Galatea of the Spheres. It was definitely a challenge, but I really enjoyed working on this.
We then moved on to mixing complementary colors, and I chose orange and blue. Who knew that when properly mixed they would turn into pretty greens? I didn't, but I enjoyed their seemingly magical properties.
Since we were more comfortable with mixing colors-and actually getting what we wanted-we worked on color matching. All we had to do was go to the DIY paint section of Walmart, choose 15-20 colors, and match them. We got to paint whatever we wanted this time, and I think that mine turned out okay, when ignoring the background.
The last project of the semester, we reverted to the basics. Red, blue, and yellow. And black and white to cheat a bit. The pointillism project was by no means a terrible challenge, but it definitely tested patience and changed our dependence on q-tips forever.
I have much less to show from my drawing class, because even though I learned to use the materials, I had no finished products at all other than the few pieces that weren't still lifes. The only still life I want to show you is one that I really like that I cropped off of the whole, unfinished image. I was pretty proud of the way the handle seems to come towards viewers, which was a lot more difficult to convey that I thought it would be.
I don't have much to show other than unfinished still lifes except for two drawings of my hand that we did as exercises of form, value, and contrast using pencil. In the second one, we had to hold an object, so I got a little toy rooster.
Et voila! My first semester in college...even though it yielded few results.
