JESUS

I enlarged a picture of one of my friends coming out of a cave which turned out to look very cool. A lot of the other jpeg pics I could have done were too complicated and I didn't like them enough. Like what Mr. G said this pic looks a lot like Jesus coming out of the tomb which is very cool. I also like how there aren't many shades in this pic just black and white.

CARRY-OUT CARTON

My goals were to create an accurate representation of the carryout box and chopsticks with long shadows.

I accomplished this by putting the light  on the side so the shadows would stretch.

I think this painting is more about dramatic shadows and backlight.

The most difficult challenge I had to face was the flatness of the chopsticks.

The way I fixed this was by using the charcoal pencil to  draw more exact lines than the vine or compressed charcoal could do.

I think my art really works with the shadows from the chopsticks cast onto the box.

I learned that the charcoal pencil is pretty useful.

I think Caravaggio's work really helped with his intense and long shadows.

I liked how neat Josh's art was.

I would probably cover my work charcoal instead of making an outline of it first.

I feel good about the shadows in my work.

RIBBON DRAWING

My goals and intentions in this artwork were to make it as dynamic as possible. I accomplished that by making the letters change in height, light exposure, and shape. What surprised me most was the time it took. My 'art' is about constant change though I didn't take advantage of that with the shadows. The most difficult challenge I met was taking it home to do it which messed it up a lot than erasing it to try to fix it which was challenging. I started getting creative when I got my word 'Dynamic' and thought of how I could do that. I think the idea of my drawing worked better than the drawing itself. I learned I should spend more time on my next drawing. I really liked the font that Arthur used in his drawing. I would work harder on a do-over. I liked the idea of it.
