ART Fall '11: Drawing Approaches

At last the semester has come to an end.  I had 3 art classes: Intro to Painting, Digital Printmaking, and Drawing Approaches.

Here's the art from my Drawing Approaches class:

Blind Contour of my hands.  Basically, I'm drawing my hands without looking at the paper. I hate this technique.

Drew this from a picture I took of a bridge in Wilmington.  I then used a grid technique to copy that picture to this charcoal drawing.

For this one, we had to choose at least 3 different artworks from books and create a new juxtaposition with them.  I used Hopper's "Night Hawks" for landscape, Wyeth's pirates, and an anchient Roman precession relief. I first put them all together digitally.

 Then drew the digital image here. I call it the "Clash of the Timelines." Only thing bad about charcoal is that things smudge a lot.

This was the "whatever you want" project. I hate it when teachers do that. I don't WANT to do anything, I want them to tell me what to do! Its so hard coming up with something.  Anyways, I decided to try watercolors focusing on cloud subjects.

Note: I have never done watercolors before. Its HARD.

This was my favorite. And it only took my 15 minutes to do. The other ones took over an hour. This is one of those things where I don't think I could make again.

This was our Free Association Drawing.  This was 15feet long and 3 feet wide. 15 feet! I thought I would never finish this. My back is still hurting from working on this.

These are other students rolls just so you have an idea of the size.
