Goals

The are many things I hope to accomplish in art studio 8 this year. One major goal is to challenge myself more. I want to try to accomplsih this goal because I sometimes choose projects that are very easy for me to do. Art should be a challenge because when you challenge yourself, and take a longer time, you come up with better art. Some steps I will take to accomplsih this goal is to use more colors and use more detail in my art. instead of using markers, I think I should use colored pencils, so my drawings can be more precise. I think I need to practice using the current skills I have also. I will know I reached this goal by making art that fills up whole pages and does not have many open spaces and is shaded and colored well.

Art Studio 8 Blog Assignment #3

The Influence (8 by 10)


Digital


All the parts of this artwork came out well in my opinion. It was hard to edit in all the people. For this project, I wanted to portray the fact that Biggy (Top) was the "king" of all hip hop music.
My Shoe (8 by 10)
Digital

I think that the selections of the different parts of the shoe was challenging. In my opinion, i did pretty well at editing the different parts of the shoe. The meaning of this project was that i like shoes. This was meaningingful to me because i got to create my own version of the shoe.

Jordan Retro 8 (8 by 12)
Pencil

I think this picture came out well because i took my time on the outline, making the size realistic. Also i think the craftmanship is good in this peice because the shoes accually kind of real. The meaning of this project is that these are my favorite shoes.

Ripples (6 by 10)
Marker

I think the individual ripples came out well because i didnt mess up on them once, so they are all evenly spaced out. In this peice i think design is the most used element because this design makes this picture look good. The meaning of this peice is to look into the ripples and like them.

Spike Lee (8 by 10)

Pencil

I think the outter space part and the spike lee came out well. i think the yellow outline made the picture better. Craftsmanship was a big part of this project because its very detailed. The meaning of this project to me is that Spike lee is an important figure.

I really like this photography by Levi van Veluw. The reason i really like this photo is that it combines nature and human into one. People need nature to live, so making a man that has grass and forests all over him shows how trees and greens are a big part of human life. It displays the idea that nature is a part of our survival.

Purposeful and Meaningful Art

For me, making a good, meaningful project means putting my best effort into it. For example, my 1st project; a picture of Spike Lee in space, is my best effort. Another thing that makes my projects meaningful and good is that I make my art detailed and not spacious. Rather then making a project with a couple colors, I would make a project with alot of color, and make it so that there aren't large empty spaces in my drawings. Good art is usually balanced. basically meaningful art is when you try your hardest on it.
