Fall 2014 - 2D Design - Piece(s) 3

abstract
This assignment required us to collage 7 different black and white shapes; the shapes could be circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares of different sizes.  The goal of the assignment was to create three different dynamic compositions under the constraints we were given.

Materials: 8.5" x 11" sheets of black/white construction paper and rubber cement.

I know I'm bad at posting... still trying to get better at this whole blogging thing!

 Assignment:

 Well... I lost the paper that described the assignments so...

 Materials: Two 18" x 24" sheets of all-purpose white paper, and an assortment of different sized black Sharpies. 

Fall 2014 - 2D Design - Piece 1

2D
I think that from here on out I'm going to try to post a piece of my work every day!  
Look at it as a sort of "art dump."  I will be posting all of the work that I have completed; most of it being work that was completed throughout the fall semester.  I was too lazy to do this before, but now I'm going to try to stick to a schedule!

I hope you guys enjoy the plethora of boring assignments that I had to complete for my foundations classes!

Assignment:

Just Line
Objective: To study the potential of line to create form by making a non-objective composition constructed entirely of line.  Lines should contain the full range of values, as well as dynamic balance of figure/ground (ambiguity) and positive/negative shapes on the picture plane.

Materials: One 18" x 24" sheet of all-purpose white paper, several black prismacolor pencils, and one 15" metal ruler.


My Last Painting of High School

Okay!  So I know what you're probably thinking... high school??  Wasn't that a while ago?!
Well, yes.. and as you guys can probably tell, I suck at this whole blogging thing..
I am going to try to keep posting though (even if months pass in between each post.)
Hopefully one day I'll just become inspired to uphold a blog, but until then, sparse posting now and then will have to do!
So!  Without further adieu, here is the last painting that I had complete for my AP Studio class.
I haven't touched oil paints since.. as much as it pains me to admit.  I really miss the medium and hope that some day I'll have time for them. 
This last piece really shows how much progress I made throughout my senior year.. I never like my work, so of course I have nothing really to say about it.. but here it is.


Sadly, I don't have the painting in front of me at the moment, but I think the canvas is 20" x 24".

Senior Concentration: 12/12 - THE LAST PIECE!

THE LAST PIECE IN MY CONCENTRATION
LIKE WHAT IS THIS

The time spent creating this body of work went by way too quickly!
Look for a future post about the concentration as a whole!
I really want to reflect on how this process changed me as an artist, but I'm seriously pressed for time right now!

I think that this is a little bigger than 16"x20"?

Senior Concentration: 11/12

Looking back, these paintings make me really emotional... like gosh.
Not that they're that good, I just miss all of the time I spent painting.
I miss the people I sat with, my teacher, my high school.. just everything..
I'm only a freshman in college, so who knows how I'm going to react when I'm older!

These final pieces have become some of my favorites.. 
From start to finish, I definitely can admit that I improved.
Sadly, I haven't been able to paint for a few months now.. and I have no idea when I'll be able to get back to doing what I love.
