Italy travel poster

      The artwork is a travel poster for Italy, it includes the colors of the flag, some tourist attractions, and the shape of the country. I used paint to create the poster, making sure to try and go the same stroke with the brush. I used color in the painting, I used green, blue, orange,and red as double complimentary colors. The Italian flag is a background for the poster. The other things are emphasized by their placements on the poster. I learned how to use the colors schemes on the color wheel in my art work. 

City drawing

          

      The artwork is of an imaginary city that being attacked by doodle monsters. I used two point perspective to create the city, all the buildings and the things such as fire hydrants are in the two point perspective. I used colored pencils to do the whole city, and give everything the colors it needs. I used analogous colors to color the buildings, and they all also have a pattern on them.  I used these to make the buildings look more realistic. I learned how to use two point perspective to make things pop out on the paper. 

Clay whistle

   The artwork is a whistle made of clay. It's formed and painted into the famous muppet, Kermit the Frog. The work has texture to it, the texture is completely smooth with no bumps. Kermit has approximate balance because his body and the features of his face are almost the same on each side but are not quite perfectly the same. Form was also used to make the figure three dimensional. I used the principles and elements to make the figure more realistic. I learned that when using materials such as clay you need to be very precise in what texture and form you want it to be. 

Values

The artwork is a picture of five household objects. I created with shadows using value and contrast. There was somewhat of a radial balance because the objects are surrounding the phone. I learned how to give objects value and shadows depending on where the light is hitting and not hitting the objects. 

Negative space

The artwork is a piece that shows the difference between a positive space and negative space. It was created by using a viewfinder to find a small piece of the still life. I used pattern in the background with the different squiggles. There is also color contrast in the background with the variety of colored curvy lines. I learned how to focus on the positive and negative spaces in a picture. 

Sneaker

The artwork is a contour line drawing of the shoe. The shoe was created using contour lines, the lines were what give the show it's detail. There is no shading to give the shoe value whatsoever. I used line, contour lines to be exact to give the the shoe it's shape, definition, and small details. I learned that with contour lines it's to give the object it's shape rather than shading it to give it value. 

Mary Poppins and Bert Alfred

This artwork is a picture of the popular children's characters, Mary Poppins and Bert. I started with an outline of the people and added in detail to them such as facial features and detailing their clothing, I also filled in a background. I used a form of emphasis called simplicity. I did a subtle background that way Mary and Bert would pop out from the drawing. There was also a use of colors like the pop of bright colors in some of the accents on their clothing, such as Mary's skirt or Bert's elbow patches. I used these principles to make sure that the characters were the main idea of the piece and the focus that draws a persons eye rather than the background. I learned that if you want something to be the first focus than don't have an extravagant background but go for something simple, and to make sure if you want something to be the main point you must emphasize those objects.
