The Staché

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.

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

Oil paint on stretched canvas.

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.
