Compare and Contrast

During the first marking period in art class, we had two assignments. The first project was the bike drawing. The second project was the candy jar drawing. One difference between these drawings is that we only used graphite pencils for our bike drawings, but we used graphite pencils and colored pencils for our candy jar drawings. One similarity between these drawings is that most people drew from the pictures of the bike that they took on their phones, while every table had their own jar of candy to draw from. Overall, I think most students preferred drawing the jar of candy rather than the bike. However, I enjoyed drawing the bike rather than the jar of candy. These projects were very difficult and challenging, but I actually really enjoyed the time I spent drawing. I think I have definitely improved with my drawing and I'm very excited for our next project! 

Candy Jar Drawing

Our second project for art class this year was to draw a jar of candy. The side of the jar that I drew was difficult because it was mostly wrappers and didn't have many candy bars. The candy wrappers also had very strange shapes and were hard to draw. For this assignment, we used graphite pencils to sketch the jars of candy. Then, we used colored pencils to color and shade our drawings. As you can see, I haven't finished my drawing yet, but I am almost done. This drawing was definitely a challenge for me, but I really liked working with the colored pencils.

Bike Drawing

Our first project for art class this year was to draw a bike. This drawing was very interesting because everyone chose a different part of the bike to draw. For this assignment, we used only graphite pencils to draw and shade our bikes. Personally, I liked the drawing portion. However, the shading portion was not my favorite. Although I'm not completely satisfied with my drawing, I did surprise myself a lot and I am proud of my progress. It was a long process, but eventually I finished my bike drawing. 

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! This is my first year taking art in high school. I've always loved art and I'm glad I finally have the opportunity to take this class. I hope to learn a lot about art this year and I can't wait to start posting my projects!
