Three skills : Gesture drawing , positive shape contour, and detailed contour.

How did you ensure variety within your sketches / ideas ?

Explore different posture and gesture Alberto Giacometti have created and colors, themes, and style to have multiple variations. so that I have options to chose from when I start my project.

What themes or stylistic exploration do you see appearing in your sketches ?

based on the influence I got from Alberto Giacometti's work, I noticed that their characters were skinny and had a lot of texture and expressiveness. I like the style and how it looks and I think I could choose from a lot what it represents for me.

My first piece is a snowman represents a memory of last Christmas when I went back to my hometown to meet my family and we built this snowman together, this is meaningful to me because it made me and my family spend more time together and created unforgettable memories. The next piece is a picture of the sunset next to the beach during the summer, I went there with my friend and we were getting ready to see the sunset and when we got to the beach it was really pretty, this is meaningful to me because I was spending time with my friends and talking about things we like and also created core memories.

Cornie's Feedback: I like how you added scrap elements that you would see in Paris sich as cakes, swans, and flowers. I think you could outline the Eiffel tower with pen to make it stand out. Something you can take away could be the blue logo on top corner because it doesn't belong.

Lucy's Feedback: I like that the pieces of scrap paper that you used were also connected to the food theme. I think one thing you can add is just to finish the effiel tower. I think something you can take away is maybe the blue sticker in the corner because it doesn't really fit with the other pieces

# data[].attributes.body
What did you make?

I made this painting with oil pastels that represents the sunset next to the beach, during the summer when I am spending time with my family and created a lot of memories.

What revisions did you do?

I tried to make the colors less dark on the drawing and tried to use a pencil to outline details but it didn't work. I also added a piece of paper on the outside to make it look like a border(cropped out of the picture).

# data[].attributes.body
What did you make?

I made snowman with water colors, and this represents a time during christmas I went back to my grandparents house and it was snowing and my family decided to build a snowman, which made my family become more close.

What revisions did you do?

I added more details and I used a white chalk to add snow on top of the trees, and I added more snowflakes, more trees, and I added another layer of the color for the scarf and the hat.

# data[].attributes.body
What did you make?

I made this collage by first drawing a Eiffel tower in the middle with a pencil, then I started added images from the magazines and newspaper parts, I added stuff mostly related to paris to give off the vibe, then I used water color and mixed a color that looks like coffee, then added it onto the paper. I also used a cup to create the coffee stain. after that I outlined the tower to make it stand out more because it was the main point of the whole drawing.

What revisions did you do?

The revisions I made was adding an outline to the tower, to male it standout, I also took out the sticker because inn the feedback i got the sticker does not belong so I decided to rip it out of the paper.

In what ways does Antony Gormley's work explore the relationship between the human figure and its surrounding space or environment?

He explores the relationship between the human figure and space by using lines and forms that extend outward, making the body interact with its environment.

What aspects of the materials, techniques, and composition contribute to the sense of struggle and/or play in these works?

His choice of materials, like metal, wood, or even blood, along with his abstract compositions, gives people a feeling of struggle or play by showing tension, movement, and personal connection

# data[].attributes.body
Exploration of Media
When we first started we used acrylic paint, and realized it didn't really pop out so we switched to chalk and pastel. We also used a white marker on a long stick to draw abstract shapes.

Intentional Choice
we primarily used bright colors that pooped off the color from the black background, and it worked together to create it. by adding texture illusion of depth made it seem more fun and chaotic.

Process and Reflection
When we started working on this we didn't have a plan on what we well make next. So then we just used colors that would pop up on the color and used different materials to make it look creative, we also first also had a corner for each person and we expanded towards the middle of the paper.

# data[].attributes.body
Line and color are in my comfort zones because I feel like I could do a lot of creative thing with lines and color, like by creating shapes and using color to make the artwork standout. Form, value, and space are in my risk zone because Im not sure what that really means and not know how to correctly use it and the appropriate time to use it. Texture is in my Danger zone because I have no idea how it is going to work and I only have a surface understanding of the skill.

# data[].attributes.body
When I focused on the lines and shapes, I realized that I was focusing more on the bigger picture of the drawing instead of diving straight in with the small details, and body parts ended up being positioned more realistically. It was hard to find a place to start with the more simple drawings, but in the future I can work on this and use the technique more efficiently. My favorite example was the one in the center of the big man. I liked how the perspective made it look just like the picture I drew it based on, and adding more details could make it really good.

# data[].attributes.body
How can the “imperfections” in blind contour drawing help you embrace experimentation and discover new expressive possibilities in line?

In the video, they explained that the blind contour drawing helps us let go of the realistic and polished version and helps us focus on just getting the shape right, basically warming up for contour drawing. That way, we can look back at the blind version and notice new things we did that we might have skipped when we can see it because of our brain's built in correcter.

# data[].attributes.body
Why might the practice of contour drawing be more about understanding structure and relationships in a subject than creating a polished final image?

one of the hardest things while drawing is finding the right measurements and distances between the lines and shapes that make it look realistic but also no weird. It makes it more accurate and that is really what the audience will notice and judge first before details. Contour drawing this picture helped me make it look more accurate and helped me on the way to making a polished final image in the end.

# data[].attributes.body
Which of the three drawings felt most successful, and why?

I feel like this drawing was the most successful because it was an outline of a figure and the features where really easy to detect and I drew the outline that matches it well.

# data[].attributes.body
In what ways did your drawing today feel different compared to the last lesson?

My drawing in todays class felt different from last class because, last class was my first time approaching blind contour drawing and I had no idea how to draw t without looking, and my hand eye coordination was terrible, after lots of practice from last class, during todays class I felt more confident when drawing blindly and had an idea what to focus on when drawing blindly.

# data[].attributes.body
What was the biggest challenge in maintaining hand–eye coordination during these drawings?

The biggest challenge in maintaining hand-eye coordination during this drawing was tying to keep it in one line and have as much details as possible, it is challenging because you have to do it in one try and it would look funky.

# data[].attributes.body
How did starting with a positive shape contour and then layering gesture drawing help you better capture the proportions, movement, and personality of your classmate in the portrait?

It definitely helped me add much more detail part by part without having to worry about the general shape. I could do shading and sketching at a lower level which overall gave the artwork a better look than it might have. However, If I had improved my contour drawing in the beginning by drawing based on a picture instead of outlining the person, I think the final result would have been much more accurate and would look less strange.

When adding details from the reference photo, how did you balance accuracy with your own creative choices in media and mark-making to strengthen the final outcome?

Specifically for the shoes and legs, I stuck the closest by what I saw in the picture and adapted it to make sure it looked the best that it could when drawn. Unfortunately, when I got nearer to the top of the paper, the clothes and face were a bit rushed and I wasn't sure how to give them the same accuracy and dimension that I had brought in previously. shading also got more difficult when It came to the hand and hair because I didn't have enough variation in my materials. If I had had those, I would definitely have found a better balance with my creative choices in media and mark-making to strengthen the final outcome.

# data[].attributes.body
﻿﻿﻿How did the grid system affect the accuracy and proportions in your drawing?

By focusing more on drawing grid by grid it helped me on focusing on each detail and made each part look more cohesive because it was more accurate.

﻿﻿﻿Which parts of the process felt easier with the grid, and which parts were still challenging?

With the gird it made drawing the details easier and shading but parts that were still challenging was drawing the whole outline.

How might you apply what you learned from the grid method to future drawings?

I will definitely draw or keep in mind grid positioning because I noticed the ease with which I could position the different parts of the artwork. In general, keeping that in mind will just help me with focusing on the other elements of the drawing.

3 skills that I am going to use - gesture positive shape contour and detailed contour.

Artist influence Alberto Giacometti - something interesting about their artwork is how they made all their sculptures very skinny and at the same time have different poses and not fall down. I would apply this in my own way by making a clay sculpture on the one i chose and draw it out by using contour.

Material of Choice - Clay to create the sculpture, Pen and pencil to draw it out, paper to draw it on.

# data[].attributes.body
How did exploring a variety of materials when experimenting impact your overall vision?

By exploring a variety of materials impacted my overall vision by first using clay and sculpting it, using curves and wires to create the overall shape, to express what it is trying to show, and then I used colors to sketch it out and by using color pencil to express the feeling of the sculpture.

# data[].attributes.body
How did you select and combine 3 drawing skills for your project, and what changes did you make along the way to refine your work?

I selected gesture drawing, positive shape contour, and detailed contour to combine for my project. During the time when I am drawing my three sketches I decided that I could do the sketches separately so I could have an idea on how to combine it for the final drawing, then I decided to add some colors for the changes. For my final sketch I am going to make a larger version and Im thinking that I am going add all the skills together. first use pencil to draw the gesture out then use colored pencils to highlight the details.

# data[].attributes.body
What media and processes are you using to create your project? Explain why you have made these choices.

I am using colored pencil for my gesture drawing, outline, and details. Then, I will add on with red-ish pink color to create depth and pink would represent the other side and feeling. the different shades of pink shows that one is confident and the other is scared. there is a mixture of the colors in this center because there are tares that shows that its faking the confidence and it is actually afraid.The I added a podium showing how it is confident but the podium is small also showing the weak.

Where did you revise, adjust, or problem-solve during the process, and how did these changes affect your decisions for your final project?

At first, I struggled drawing the skinny arms and the exact detail.Then I figured out how to use different colors of red to help me draw the different skills and to show it better. At first, I was only going to do pencil but I realized that it was going to show the details and couldn't tell what was the outline, gesture, and details.

# data[].attributes.body
during this class I focused on drawing the background. First I drew the grid to make sure that my background could be accurate. Then I started sketching the back ground. I decided to draw the background as a stage to show how people could fake their feelings.

# data[].attributes.body
In my work, I explored the theme of fake confidence and fear, showing how people often hide their true emotions behind a mask of strength. My art was inspired by Alberto Giacometti’s sculpting techniques, especially his focus on capturing human emotion and form through long, thin, and expressive figures. To prepare, I crafted my own small sculpture based on his style, which helped me understand the correct depth, proportion, and shape of the human figure.This visual and creating process allowed me to visualize how light and shadow interact with form. After creating the sculpture, I made multiple sketches and studies to refine my drawing skills before completing the final piece. Then I used gesture drawing to have an idea on how to draw it out and have a base to know how each body part looks like. I used detailed contour by drawing on the outside of the gesture drawing and also helps me see the overall look. I also used positive shape contour and grid drawing to help with the background and positive shape contour helped me with the inside of the figure. Finally, I used colored pencils to bring the figure to life on paper, using tone and texture to express the mix of confidence and fear that the piece represents.

# data[].attributes.body
When I received feedback I remember what the feed back was and how I could improve and I add that on to my future works.

I incorporated how I could use more color, fill in the white areas, and make it look more bold. I will fill in the colors and make it look like the colors are more solid.

# data[].attributes.body
This placement shows how all of it has a similarity by showing the red colors and how there is one figure in the center of each artwork. In the between the art I chose they also share the similarity of having a red-ish background, and in one of the art works they chose the same artist as me so the figure in the center looks some what similar.

# data[].attributes.body
The principles that are in my comfort zone are pattern, repetition, movement and unity because in some of my past art works there are these elements included and I think I have a very good understanding on how to use these elements and how to identify them.

the elements that are risky are emphasis balance and proportion, because some times I either mess up or don't know how to include this into my art for example proportion I mess up and sometimes draw the head too big and then i wont have the rest to draw anything else.l I can overcome these hesitations by having a better measurement and then scale properly.

Identifying Principles of Design - November 11

# data[].attributes.body
In the painting that was given, the first thing me and my group noticed was emphasis. Its in the center of the road, with a contrasting blue line going down the middle, which stood out to us right away. It provides a place for our eyes to rest and connects the different elements around the line and the whole painting.

# data[].attributes.body
This exercise helps reinforce my understanding of balance, proportion, and emphasis because the way the letters are arranged shows how these principles work together to make a design feel organized. When the artwork feels comfortable to look at, it’s because the sizes of the letters match well (proportion), the placement feels even (balance), and certain letters stand out the right way (emphasis). There is a risk, though if these principles are used incorrectly, like making one letter too big or placing too many bright colors on one side, the design can start looking uneven or confusing. If the exercise ever feels like a “danger zone,” meaning I get overwhelmed or unsure, it shows that I may need more practice understanding how these principles affect the final look. This shift in feeling helps reveal which principles I need to focus on and reminds me how important balance, proportion, and emphasis are in creating good visual art.

# data[].attributes.body
When focusing on negative space this process helped me with focusing on the overall outline and it helped with the proportion by seeing how big each object is so that ill know how the size of the spaces would be. The drawing techniques i found useful was the detailed contour because it make me focus on every little detail which makes my artwork seem more interesting. Simplifying the drawing into black and white help by showing a contrast between the negative space and making it obvious, and draw more attention to it.

# data[].attributes.body
I explored illusion, depth, and form in my sketches. By using negative space, I added visual interest, while experimenting with positive shapes helped me create a sense of illusion, depth, and balance. Varying my base shapes and colors strengthened my final compositions. Working with negative shapes proved especially useful for adding interest, and it will make shadows and forms more engaging in my future artwork. It broadens my options for angles and colors and gives me more creative freedom in my projects.

# data[].attributes.body
In my design, I used a lot of straight and diagonal lines to give the structure an organized, architectural look. The vertical lines in the pillars make the design feel tall and balanced, while the diagonal roof lines add direction and movement. Most of my shapes are geometric, like rectangles, long ovals, and angled blocks, which helps the whole piece stay consistent. I also worked with space by using overlapping shapes and some perspective lines, especially on the bottom right block, to create the illusion of depth. The right side has darker, cleaner lines, which creates a Notan effect because it contrasts with the lighter, sketchier lines on the left. For the principles of design, I used balance by dividing the drawing down the middle, repetition in the oval cutouts and pillar lines, and contrast between heavy and light line weights. The diagonal lines also create movement, and the repeated shapes help keep the design unified. Out of the two sides, I plan to present the right side design to my group because it looks the most finished and clearly shows depth, structure, and stronger design choices.

# data[].attributes.body
since day 1, my idea has developed a lot because practicing different viewpoint sketches helped me understand the structure from more angles. At first, I only had a rough idea of the shapes I wanted, but working through several iterations made the form and layout clearer. Drawing both the top view plan and the angled perspective helped me see how the shapes connect and how the space flows, so the iteration process definitely made my vision more focused. There were also some unexpected outcomes during this process. One pleasant surprise was realizing that some shapes looked way more dynamic once I viewed them from a different angle, especially when I added curved and diagonal lines that created more movement. A drawback is that a few areas still feel unclear in terms of depth and connection because the overlapping shapes get confusing. I plan to fix this by cleaning up my line work, adding more accurate perspective, and testing a couple more angle sketches to make the structure read more clearly. Moving forward, I might change the chapter im going to do with my partner and need a few extra materials to help refine the design for example, thicker drawing pens for stronger contrast, tracing paper for layering and correcting shapes, a ruler for sharpening geometric lines, and shading tools to help figure out depth and notan balance. All of these will help me finalize the design and make each viewpoint clearer and more intentional.

# data[].attributes.body
I ensure all voices in my group is being heard into the design by asking their opinion on how the project could be built and letting them do or fix the part where they think could be better. I am planing to add the details when we are nearly done with the buildings and I and planning to use hot glue and strings to create the lines that connects the houses, and when we are all done with that maybe I would muse paint to paint the lines and strings, and the buildings to finish the look.

# data[].attributes.body
During class today I focused on creating the base and more buildings, for the city, first I used tape to create a line for the road and I painted over it. Completing the texture challenge impacted my material use during studio time by having everything cutted out and then glueing it all together so, we could be more efficient.

# data[].attributes.body
For my cities the elements that are left to build are completing the abandoned buildings and adding the strings from corner to corner of every house.

# data[].attributes.body
How far are you from completing this?

I am almost done on creating this, I would just need to add 2 more abandoned buildings and ad more detail to the roads and add more strings so it related to my chapter.

# data[].attributes.body
Before today I usually start a drawing by drawing the outline of the thing I am drawing. todays approach was kinda o different because usually after drawing the outline I would make it darker and leave and it. but now I know that I would have to shade it where it is darker where the light is shining to it.

the part where have to shade lighter and gradually shade darker, felt familiar, but wa not familiar was having to switch pencils throughout.

# data[].attributes.body
They looked like shapes that had a specific brightness, for example if the light is shining from the right, you can see how there is this dark triangle on the left side, and for the shapes that are closer too the light it has a lighter shade.

One challenge I experienced was find the darker and bring parts, for this I think the object was really hard to determine where was the brightest surface when shading.

# data[].attributes.body
The strategies that helped me accomplish todays drawings was changing the pencil through out to create the contrast of the shadows and the object its self. By creating the hard edge and soft edge I changed the pressure I used on the pencil and also changing the pencil from HB to 6B.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this photo because in my opinion the shadows and where the shaded and not so shaded parts are obvious. the story of this still life is that its a murderer trying to throw away the body parts and the head was left on top of the plastic bag because it wouldn't fit in. I will initially approach the sketch by squinting, and separating the obvious parts of how the shadow looks like and the obvious shaded parts.This drawing shows strong contrast between tints, midtones, and shadows. The light source creates bright highlights on the skull and deep shadows in the eye sockets and fabric folds. Smooth blending is used for rounded surfaces, while darker layered shading creates depth in the shadows.

Invisible cities Value Drawing - March 12

# data[].attributes.body
This photo best captures my chapter, because it shows how everything in the city is connected. In the story, the city is described as a place where relationships between people are represented by strings that connect houses. In my photo, the wires and lines running between the buildings represent those connections, just like in the chapter.The angle of the photo also helps show this idea. Because the photo is taken from the side and slightly above, you can clearly see the lines stretching across the city and linking different structures together. This makes the city feel like a network where everything is tied to something else.The lighting also helps emphasize this. The light source creates highlights, midtones, shadows, and reflected light across the buildings, which makes the structures look more three-dimensional and helps the lines stand out. This combination of angle, lighting, and connecting lines visually represents the idea from a city that is defined by the relationships that connect its people and places.

# data[].attributes.body
Someone can tell what the surface feels like in my drawing by the way I used different shading techniques, line quality, and values. Areas like the cheek use cross hatching and layered lines, which make them feel rougher and more textured, while parts like the nose and forehead have smoother, lighter shading that makes them feel hard and smooth. The lips are shaded darker with softer blending, giving them a softer, more fleshy texture, and the neck is more evenly shaded so it feels smooth and rounded. Overall, the variation in line direction, pressure, and how dark or light the shading is helps show whether a surface would feel rough, smooth, soft, or hard.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on todays experiments, I am planing to use charcoal, pencil, and pen for my finished work. I am planing to use pen and charcoal together on some darker areas , and then I am going to use pencil for the lighter areas for the direction of the light, then for the strings that is attaching the buildings together i am going to use white charcoal to show the contrast and where like the light is coming from.

# data[].attributes.body
In this video I was trying to show balance by balancing out the use of two types of nail polish (one blue and the other is clear and glittery) . I first started off by adding a coat of the blue nail polish, I tried applying it evenly for the first time and It turned out really even and smooth, and then I waited for it to dry off, and I started to apply the clear glitter layer, at first the glitter would be really uneven, I tried fixing it by using the brush to even out the glitter so it wouldn't look clumped up in one side, I did that for the rest of the nails, and turned out well. The equal use of color and glitter created harmony in the overall nail design, which shows the art principle of balance.

# data[].attributes.body
I tried to use mostly charcoal and tried using white charcoal today. I also prep my surface by adding a layer of charcoal at the bottom and blending it to make it lighter. Something that surprised me while experimenting was how white charcoal was so bold on the paper and the drawing. I except this injury to impact my final drawing by being one of the things they notice first because the city is mostly about how the lines connect and by using white charcoal it would be very noticeable.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on my experimentation I decided to start with a sketch to see where everything is and have a thing to base off of, and I used pencil on this to that I could make changes easier, and then for the darker areas I am planing to use pen and charcoal, and adding texture on the walls.

# data[].attributes.body
I successfully applied the crosshatching skill during todays lesson and I could improve this skill by making the lines more even and then before drawing on to the paper I could practice on a scratch paper. And I am alos going to practice the line spacing to create the different values so that it would look good on to the drawing.

# data[].attributes.body
I approached texture and value during todays studio time, and for one of the roofs I tired doing a wooden like texture and I also used white charcoal to create value on the buildings.

# data[].attributes.body
The elements and principles of design I am focusing on most are value, texture, form, contrast, and balance. Value is the most important because I am using darks, midtones, and highlights to make the objects look three-dimensional. Texture helps show different surfaces by using crosshatching and shading.Contrast makes the darker areas stand out against lighter spaces, adding depth and interest. Balance is important because the darker finished objects on the left are balanced by the open unfinished space on the right.

These ideas are helping me improve areas like smoother shading, clearer textures, and consistent lighting, while also making the piece more realistic and successful.

# data[].attributes.body
As we get closer to finishing our drawing I have met my goals for this class which was completing most of the right side of the drawing but I think the goal for next class is to finish all the buildings and include all the shadings of it.

# data[].attributes.body
I am revising my work by looking critically at the composition, values, and perspective. I adjusted shading to create stronger contrast and more depth, and I refined the lines to make the forms clearer. I am also using skills from previous assignments, like texture, line direction, and overlapping shapes, to improve realism and movement. I would also seek peer feedback to see if the space and balance are effective, then apply constructive criticism to make the piece stronger.

# data[].attributes.body
Our workshop shift last Thursday definitely did not go the way we expected. When we first arrived, no one was there to get their nails done, probably because we were set up in a room that not many people knew about. We spent some time preparing and setting everything up before people finally started showing up. After that, we were able to do their nails. Then we helped clean up before leaving. Even though things did not go as planned and we had to adjust to the situation, we were still glad to have the chance to do some nails and use the skills we had prepared for.

# data[].attributes.body
While walking around, I noticed this artwork from someone in Studio Art and I immediately found it really visually interesting. The more I looked at it, the more details I started to notice. I really liked how the artist filled almost the entire page with different patterns and textures, making the artwork feel very detailed and creative. I also noticed that they used a lot of the same techniques we have been learning in class. First, they used many different types of lines and textures. They also used different shading techniques to create contrast and depth, they created value using detailed patterns like waves, zigzags, spirals, checkerboards, and geometric designs. The closeness and thickness of the patterns helped create the illusion of light and dark areas.

This artwork also reminded me of my own art because I used line work to create texture and make different areas stand out. My favorite part of this artwork is probably the van and the way every section of it has a different pattern inside. I also really like the flowing wave like lines in the background because they make the piece feel energetic and connected. Overall, I think this artwork is very creative and inspiring, and it gives me ideas I could try using in my own future artwork.

# data[].attributes.body
The materials I am considering is pencil, color pencil, and maybe pen. to create mor bold lines to make the things standout. the three ideas i am considering is using visual illusion and creating depth and using values for the shadows.My topic is about Alice in wonderland falling into the rabbit hole.

# data[].attributes.body
Today I tried experimenting the oder of sketching. I attempted to draw the illusion first but not even halfway through I realized that it wouldn't work because. would have to eventually erase some of the back ground to draw the characters and objects on top. Im thinking next class I would draw the objects first and then based off the location of the objects i would draw the illusion behind it.

# data[].attributes.body
during todays studio time i decided to draw and color out the objects first and then if i finish it during next studio time, I would draw the illusion in the back.

# data[].attributes.body
I didnt get any feedback today but I personally think that, I could make thew colors more bold and have less pencil marks on there to make the drawings look more clear, and also apply shading and using different colors to create shadow and make it look like there is actual depth,.

# data[].attributes.body
My project is now complete. The final artwork shows strong progress from the planning stage to the finished piece. I successfully combined different elements from Alice in Wonderland, such as Alice, the clock, the chair, the book, and the striped background, to create a balanced composition. The colors are fully developed, and the details help communicate the theme of wonder and imagination.Throughout the project, I improved my drawing and coloring skills. I had to refine my ability to create clean outlines, use proportion when drawing different objects, and blend colors evenly. I also worked on composition by arranging the objects so that the viewer's eye is drawn toward Alice in the center. In addition, I used oil pastels to create bolder, more vibrant colors, helping the artwork stand out and making the different elements more obvious. As I finished the artwork, I focused on adding final details, strengthening contrast, and cleaning up outlines. Attention to detail became especially important when refining the patterns, shadows, and smaller objects. I also used critical thinking to evaluate the overall balance of the piece and make adjustments so the final product looked complete and visually engaging. The oil pastels helped enhance the richness of the colors and gave the artwork a stronger overall impact.
