WELCOME TO MY BLOG

Throughout the school year, I have learned various art techniques, and I have opened up to new plains of creativity. Too long have I stayed in the comfort of my haven of colored pencils and graphite, and coming into Art 3, I had yet to pick up a paintbrush or mold clay. This year, I have learned much, but the topics that have stuck with me most and that I hope to carry on in the future include gesture art and oil painting.

Creating the eyes was the most difficult part of the face. It was hard to capture the eye shape, amount of pupil space, and proportion. I also

"Satyr" Gilles Demarteau & François Boucher Medium: Conte I chose "Satyr" by Gilles Demarteau and François Boucher because I enjoy the medium, looser marks, and composition. First, I gridded and proportioned the artwork onto my paper. I began building value various parts of the drawing because I don't like staying in one spot for too long. I feel like I was able to capture the artist mark and hatching. This was a victory to me because I'm not very experienced with conte. Howe
