Objects and cars

My uncle lives in the mountains and he owns a camaro. It was a little hard to do this because the shadow and pavement are black and it was hard to get the right color for the pavement. Also it looks a little weird because the tires look like they are apart of the shadow.  

Project #3. The reason why I did a camaro is because that is my favorite car. And because my uncle has a camaro in California

Apples

This apple is done with oil paints and a scalpel knife. This is the first time using oil paints. Also the first time using the scalpel knife. When using the scalpel knife, it leaves a layer of paint protruding from the canvas. We'll at least for me

This is also oil paints. But used with a brush instead of scalpel knife. This one I actually completed it. I included a shadow and highlights in the apple 

Prisma blog

the first project of art 4. this piece that i did was of Italian buildings and the reflection of the buildings in the water. this was my first time with prisma colors and i didn't  really like them. maybe that's why it looks bad. any way the idea of it was to have a reflection somewhere incorporated in the drawing. what inspired me to do Italian buildings was my great grandma. she was born in italy, that makes me Italian. and the drawings that we do, have to have something meaning.    

Art Statement

what most inspires me to do art is animals. i want to learn more techniques and improve my drawing.

 being able to draw scenery and all that stuff. i hope to learn more art this semester as well. i like

getting ideas from other people around me and how they come up with new things. that also inspires

me too. another inspiration is my great grandma. she loved to draw. she drew all the time in america

and in italy (Because she was from italy). she loved art and she has plenty of it hanging around all of

my families houses. we have a couple of hers. she did it with mainly in oils.

Scratch board

For this project, we had to get a picture that we took and made sure It had movement. The movement in my peice is the hair on the cat. The hair shows how the fur flows and directs your eye. The hardest part about this project was the nose. The nose was the hardest because I didn't know how to show that It was a nose. But when I started to just at dots to the nose, it started to look more like it. 

Figure drawing blog

For this project, we had to pick a partner and draw them. You had to draw a LIFE size drawing of them. So I picked the best partner you can ever be with! And that's Ciara Delgado. Any way the medium I chose for this project was charcoal. I have recently used charcoal in my self portrait that was on wood. I notice that when you try and blend the charcoal in on the wood, it doesn't really blend at all. But it blends better on regular paper. The hardest part for me for this project was to get the correct proportions on the body. Also the face. I didn't do the face was because I didn't want to mess it up. If I had draw in her face it would looked worse. The best part about this project was drawing her legs and the shoe. I think I really did good on that part

Skull with tracing paper drawing

This is another self portrait. But getting the proportions is easier because you have a full skull behind the tracing paper. The hardest part of this project was getting the shading right. The skull behind the tracing paper was distracting. By the time I finished the project I have realized that I could have just taken out the skull paper. But now I know
