Open Project Period 4

Rough Drafts
























Reference Photos














The artist that inspired me with my piece is Andrew Wyeth. The reason I chose him is because of his texture in the dog's fur when he paints. He is able to create texture but he also makes it very realistic. I used two of his paintings for inspiration.



I am not done with my piece. I am working very hard of it since I haven't done light sources with paintings yet, but it's something new for me to learn.

My piece doesn't really have any meaning like most of my pieces. I chose this photo of my dog because I loved the lighting on her fur and also the photo showed all of the different colors she has in her fur. I decided to only do my dog and not the background only so I could focus on making her fur have texture.

The principle I used are proportion because I made sure I didn't put her in the center of the canvas and also I made sure she took up enough of the canvas to make it loo proportional. Another one id balance, the reason is because the colors all go together and makes the picture look like one.

My judgement of this piece is that even though I am not finished with it, I am very happy with how it's turning out. I have never painting on a canvas before so it's definitely something new for me to learn.

Quarter 1 Value Project My master artist is Michelangelo. I used his "Head of a Young Man" as an I idea on how to shade the human features. The way he uses soft shading, makes the portraits look more lifelike and realistic. The way he draws the person from the side also helped me to understand the shading area of the face. My current artist is Michelle Cox. I used her various portraits of present day people to try can help me understand the human features and how they can be made to look realistic. Her technic of dark shading makes the picture pop on top of a light colored background. Describing:  My project is of a soccer player named Harry Kane. The object next to him is England. I chose that because it represents me and also the athlete on the page. Everything goes together in this piece. The bold lines inside is the English flag to represent the country. This project was made in graphite pencil, H and 2B. I used H to shade the areas and 2B to darken ce...

   With this art piece, I made this as the first of my theme because I thought it would be the easiest to recognize. With this, I did a scarier version of the classic movie The Fox and the Hound. My whole theme is to take famous animal movies and do a horrible twist with them to show the meaning of animal cruelty. With this I made the fox and the hound the opposite then what they are in the movie. I'm not done with the full piece but I am happy with this being my first piece because I know I can grow from this.   With this project, I wanted to go all out on this. With my inspiration on the idea of circus animals not being treated as well as you think. Sticking to my idea of taking classic movies and changing the, I thought of the movie Dumbo being the perfect fit. I chose to do the composition I did to show the circus around him and I was going to make sure he looked sad and unhappy like all animals in the circus do. With this one, I'm not going as rea...

Piece 10

With my piece starting to become more and more realistic, I needed to make sure that my pieces created the messages I needed to portray. When you see the shows of all the animals, you never see to realize how they live. No one understand the struggles they have. In most whale and dolphin shows, they are forced to perform. They are given many drugs and even harmed in order to entertain the public. With these animals being used to the open ocean, they are confined to such small spaces which can cause many health issues. Over time, these creatures die due to the conditions they are "cared" in. This has diminished the population of these beautiful creatures.
