10 3-D Sketches (Still-Life)

We had to pick 10 3-D objects and draw them based on their form, shape, colors, shadows, and etc. I picked these 10 items or objects because I felt as if they had a lot of contrast between their characteristics. We had to draw them with different forms of media (colored pencils, oil pastels, charcoal, chalk, markers, etc.) 

Beach Road

My focus on this project was perspective. We had to create a drawing that looks 3-D using perspective and horizon lines. I decided to draw a little town with a beachfront. I tried to resemble mountains in the back, but it didn't really capture the 3-D point of view. My intention for drawing this was to establish perspective, but from a unique point of view.

Lotus Blossom

One of our pieces we created in class was scratch-art. I created this using a scratch board and a crafting knife. I picked a picture of a lotus flower and captured the detail and highlights in parts of the flower, we consider capturing the highlights "reverse". My intention in creating this was inspired actually by another classmate who was also doing a flower. I specifically like this one because I think it captures many details and shows 3-D sections by the use of hatching. 

Paper Town

I created this piece using construction paper, newspaper, scissors, glue, and water-colors. In this project we were supposed to create a collage out of various items to create a picture. I decided to create a town in perspective. In this project I had to cut each piece of paper to a precise measurement to match the perspective of the drawing. My intention in creating this was inspired by a previous artwork similar to this. 

Emily in Ink

This piece was inspired by a famous artwork/self portrait of an artist by the name of Rembrandt. He is known for his paintings and ink portraits. In this project we had to recreate a famous piece of art and I decided to recreate his self portrait of ink. The person I chose to model for me was Emily, hence  "Emily in Ink". I used ink and to my surprise a stick. Someone suggested to use a sharpened stick instead of a calligraphy pen and thus "Emily in Ink" was created.
