KANIKA MOHINDRA- For this drawing we had to make it 3D by shading and colors, I really love this drawing because it had so much interaction!

I choose this art piece to showcase because it was one of my hardest works and the longest one to make. I was inspired by an example of a Starry Night Parody that had a Peter Pan theme so I decided to recreate it. -Chloe Yadidi

For this assignment, we followed along with Ms. Wynne. She taught us how to draw the fish, and later we painted them with watercolors. I chose to use cool colors, and I colored the water lilies blue too, even though it is not the natural color. - Severine Welsh

For this project, we were assigned to draw and color/paint a realistic person with an elaborate background. My painting has a bit of a story to it. It shows a girl, who is standing in a rainy, dark, dystopian setting. She takes her umbrella with her everywhere, to shield her from the darkness of the world around her. It turns the heavy shards of rain into beautiful drizzles of light rain. I used watercolors and crayons to create this. - Severine Welsh

In this drawing, we used one-point perspective to create a realistic 3D city street bordering buildings and a bay with a distant city. This project required much use of a ruler since we needed to make many straight lines that lined up perfectly with each other. I enjoyed this assignment because it was simple yet interesting, and it had a good amount of both instruction and freedom.

For this assignment, based on Kehinde Wiley's portraits, we were instructed to draw a moderately realistic person with a vibrant complex background behind them. In my portrait, I drew a girl that looks somewhat like myself (but originally that was not my intention), and made her background a light blue sky with flowers that are growing out of her head. From the expression on her face, it is meant to look like she is thinking so hard that flowers are growing out of her head. I liked this project because it looks natural and the bright colors contrast with the pencil lines of the person, so it gives an interesting color scheme.

For this assignment, we were given directions to draw a koi fish, and then trace it and use watercolors to give the fish itself color, and add a splash of water around the fish. Since purple and teal are my favorite colors, I mixed watercolors together to make shades that were deep and vibrant, and then painted my fish and a splash of dark water around it. I also drew lily pads, flowers, and the occasional frog to add some detail to the water. I loved this project because the simplicity of the fish and the beautiful colors make the end result beautiful and realistic.

For this assignment, we made a vanishing point to create a drawing of a city by the sea. I chose this for open house, because I like the way I drew the fence on the left and the way I did the light posts and also the sea. I like the sunset and buildings in the distance too. =)

For this project, we were making Starry Night drawings with oil pastels, but making them our own. We made them original. I chose this drawing because I like how mine is simple, but looks nice too. I also like how I added the tree which is to the left and how I designed the sky. =)

For art class we had an assignment were we as a class went step by step and drew a koi fish. The project was a week long. Firstly we drew the sketch as a class. We then went on to sharpie it. Lastly we water colored it. For mine i decided to do basic coloring for my koi fish. I chose this art piece for open house since i feel this is my favorite art piece i have done throughout this semester long elective.

For this assignment, we were instructed to make a portrait with an interesting background. I chose to draw a cherry blossom tree with a currently unnamed character I draw frequently in front of it. Although I am new to this class and have not yet created anything else, I still found this assignment really fun. -Charlie Parks

For this art piece we had to draw a picture of someone and i decied to draw a person that i drew in my note book earlier that day. I like how we were able to work on it in class - Adele

I chose to upload this drawing because I felt like it was the most meaningful out of all of my artwork (I also enjoy drawing hands.) While drawing, I wondered a lot on what to draw in the sphere. I didn't want it to be too hard, but not meaningless. As you can see, I drew a humanoid with the head of the Earth. There are gears in the background. I tried to show a little dystopian theme that the being was humanity, able to look at the gears only when looking into the sphere (which is open for interpretation.) I had a lot of fun with the drawing and I want people to have a fun time interpreting the art in their own way!

For this assignment, we were instructed to create a drawing inspired by Karla Gerard. She uses bright colors and patterns in her paintings, so that is what I did. I thought that a great literal example of a display of colors and patterns would be a quilt, so I drew one. We had a choice of supplies for coloring, and I chose watercolor paints. - Severine Welsh

For this art piece we drew a vanishing point landscape of a city street. I liked this drawing the most because the vanishing point makes it look 3 dimensional. All lines curve towards the vanishing point.  there is a bay to the left and some buildings to the right. I really like this drawing.

This is a parody of Van Gogh's 'Starry Night'. For this project, we used oil pastels to create our own version of Starry Night. My theme was the same landscape and large tree, but with different bright colors that remind me of different seasons. Originally, the colors were supposed to be just autumn or fall colors, but eventually many colors entered the spectrum. I chose this drawing because I like the way the colors go together and the sky with the original swirls and stars.

For this project prompt, we were told to make a similar drawing to the original swirly, magical sky created by Van Gogh using oil pastels. I created a "starry morning" set in L. Frank Baum's Wizard of Oz. To the left is the Emerald Palace, and in the signature swirly sky is an ominous tornado, the wicked witch, and of course, the flying monkeys. I liked this project because the pastels really popped and were very vibrant on the paper. - Severine Welsh
