Abstract

mferoz3961 — 2024-06-03 01:41:58 UTC

My goal with the abstraction was to capture the spirit of the picture. To reimagine the scenario, I experimented with the art aspects, especially shape and color. I converted the realistic into the abstract by enlarging the warm colors and softening the lines, keeping the romantic ambiance but allowing the spectators to see it in a new way. An

investigation of mood took over

In the first drawing I did, I just focused on the chair, which was okay, but it didn't make the drawing very exciting. In the second one, I paid more attention to the space around the chair, which made the drawing more interesting to look at

The second drawing was better because it had a good mix of the chair and the space around it. This mix makes me want to look at the drawing more because my eyes like to see both the object and the space around it.

In my final compositions, I used two different techniques: pencil and black Sharpies. Each one had its own unique qualities and challenges, which made my art look different depending on which I used.

Using pencils allowed me to create soft and detailed drawings. With pencils, I could make light and dark areas by pressing harder or softer. This helped me show shadows and textures very well. I could also erase mistakes, which was helpful. However, drawing with pencils took a lot of time and patience because I had to be very careful with the details.

On the other hand, using black Sharpies was all about bold and strong lines. Sharpies made my drawings look very clear and striking. Every line I drew was permanent, so I had to be confident with each stroke. This made my drawings look more dynamic and eye-catching. However, it was hard to show different shades and smooth transitions with Sharpies. I had to be very precise to avoid mistakes because I couldn’t erase them

Unit 6 Assignment: Recycle Robot

To construct RecyBot, I collected plastic bottle caps, construction paper, a large

plastic bottle, disposable cups, aluminum paper, and an empty round tape. For assembly, I

used glue, tape. Each material was chosen for its unique properties and potential to

contribute to the overall structure and aesthetic of the robot.

Unit 5 Assignment: Painting Emotion

mferoz3961 — 2024-06-28 22:15:42 UTC

In my final composition, I chose to depict a moment of intense happiness from my childhood. I was around 8 years old, wearing a red, blue dress, and dancing in a vast, sunlit field of sunflowers. The different colors of the flowers and the clear blue sky represent the joy and freedom I felt during that time. I used bold and expressive brushstrokes to capture the movement and energy of that joyful moment. The choice of watercolor was intentional, as it allowed me to create a soft, dreamy effect that reflects the nostalgia and warmth of the memory. The texture and layering of the paint add depth and dimension to the scene, making it feel more alive and immersive.

First, I picked a leaf that had a nice texture and bright color. I tried different types of light to see what looked best. I used natural sunlight because it made the leaf look soft and warm. I also used a desk lamp to create shadows and make the leaf’s details stand out.
