Overall, I really enjoyed this class. I took Drawing and Painting I my freshman year and I decided to take Drawing and Painting II this year. I liked all of the projects that we had to do, but my favorite final piece is probably the Figure Interrupted. I like this piece a lot because I got to incorporate a lot of different things, such as charcoal, acrylic paint, colored pencil, and other pieces of abandoned work. I also really like my final piece of the Botanical Garden project. I do not prefer using water colors, but we had to for this project and it was not as bad as I thought it would be. I am happy that the piece turned out basically how I imagined it, but I think that I could use some practice with water colors still. Also, we did a lot of sketching and shading this semester, which is my favorite thing in art. I am glad I got to practice my art for a class and I hope to take more art classes throughout the years.

These are just a few sketches that we did in class. I really enjoy sketching, so this was an enjoyable task for me. I was also really satisfied with my sketches, especially because I have not done sketches from real life before.

These photos I got from the internet are just some ideas for my exquisite corpse piece. Below are my actual pieces, which were both small. The larger piece was a group project.

I looked for pictures from the botanical gardens on the internet that incorporated a main focus on the center of the picture. I really liked the idea of a butterfly as the center, as well as a couple of flowers so I tried to tie in both in my piece. I am happy with my final piece, even though I am not a huge fan of water color.

This collage is inspires, and made up of, completely random pieces from different coloring book pages. I wanted to incorporate a lot of different shapes, but I tried to keep my main shape as the circles and the owl/rectangle shape that i ended up coloring.

I tried to keep a light green base, as well as a light pink tone in the center where my pink flower will end up being.

I used oil pastels for the entire picture, and I think that it worked really well for the sky and the connnection between the land and water.

If I had more time, then I would have wanted added more color in the white areas. I think mostly the same color, but also add some blue in the negative spaces.

I tried to even out shading by using a lot of darks and lights, as well as really emphasizing the circular shapes.
