This is my 3 value charts with yellow, red, and blue. This is my creative color wheel. I created a lemon/lime inside to put my colors onto. extra credit paperRene Magritte
Rene Magritte’s pieces were part of the Surrealism movement. The surrealism art movement began in 1924 and ended in 1966. The movement began with art by Dali. Surrealism was considered a literary and artistic moment. It was based on an Enlightenment idea that idealized reason and individualism. Its main purpose was to show one's thoughts and experiences. It was also based on thoughts from the unconscious mind also known as dreams which was the main source of artistic creativity. Some famous paintings from the surrealism include The Persistence of Memory, Guernica, The Lovers, and Philosophers Lamp. (These are some of the paintings) Rene Magritte was born in Belgium in 1898. He grew up with his brother and his grandmother after his parents committed suicide. His ideas stemmed from the fact that he found tragedy in films that were portrayed in his paintings. He was in the Belgian army and then moved onto other work. His art career began when he started working at a commercial advertising company where he began working and experimenting painting. He then moved to study art at Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts. He originally was inspired by the juxtaposition of different things in pieces. For the next two years he continued practicing the juxtaposition of elements in his art until he became a professional artist. His surrealist movements were influenced by Chirico's paintings. His art was influenced by dreams and exaggerated objects that were out of the ordinary. He painted his hallucinations and thoughts. One of Rene Magritte’s paintings is The Son of Man. The Son of Man is a surrealist painting that displays a man and a green apple covering his face. Magritte made this as a self portrait. Another one of Rene Magritte’s paintings is The Lovers. It is a painting of two people kissing with sheets over their faces. The painting portrays the two people being blinded by the cloth while they’re kissing. Bibliography.

These are my 20 clay food ideas These are my reference images and my color sketch of the clay food. These are my in progress photos. This is my clay food final piece. CRITIQUE QUESTIONS FOR CLAY FOOD
1. Describe the craftsmanship of your sculpture. When I made this sculpture I created each bacon strip by making a slab, cutting it into strips, and making it have texture of bacon. I did the same with the eggs, and for the yolk I made a ball of clay and flattened it to look like yolk. I made a rectangular plate because the food took up space better that way. I shaped the bacon like bacon and placed it next to the eggs. 2. What was the most difficult part of this project? The most difficult part of this project was keeping everything together while making each line smooth and perfect. 3. Did your color choices work harmoniously? I think that my color choices worked very well together.I feel like picking grey for the plate brings more attention to the eggs and the bacon. The shadowing makes it look more realistic and finished. 4. Is your sculpture interesting from all views? I think my sculpture is interesting from all views. The texture and shape of the bacon makes it look very realistic and cooked just right. The eggs are portioned correctly to the bacon and the plate. I think it is very pleasing to look at. 5. Describe the differences between constructing a sculpture and creating something in 2D. When you create a sculpture you make the piece view-able from many different view-points while creating something in 2D is only from one perspective. pictured above are my reference photos, including my own photos, then my sketch drawings, then my 20 ideas. This is my color sketch. FINAL----- 1. Describe the craftsmanship of your prints. My project was crafted by first cutting out the blue background, then the orange then the red and then the green and then the purple. I had to be very careful with removing the pieces. I directly followed my sketch except I decided to make the top squares completely purple. The paint was overall easy to work with except the orange would not grab onto the roller and the purple was more liquid considering it was a different brand. 2. How did you use texture, color harmony and balance to define your choice of subject. For texture I made the insides of the window purple so that it would look three-dimensional. I chose the colors I did to really show the depth of the colosseum and whats around it. My colors balance generally well but the purple showed up a lot darker than I had hoped. 3. If you could recreate your pieces what would you have done differently to enhance your final outcome? If I were to recreate my pieces i would have maybe used a different shade of blue for the background and maybe instead of the windows being blue I would have made them another color all together because in my sketch it did not look empty but in my final I thought that space could have been used better. I also would have lightened up my purple because I did not know how dark it would be on top of the green. These are my in progress photos.
This is my pumpkin created with water color pencil. This is my sphere and cone that I did with water color.
Pumpkin color pencil. practice with prisma. Colored pencil candy. (I did not have prisms at home so this is drawn with crayola) In progress photos. FINAL-- 1. Describe the overall composition of your artwork. My project is a cluster of grapefruits. Some are raised higher than others and therefore they are brighter. Each grapefruit is a different size so it brings out the details of each grapefruit. There is a larger grapefruit close to the center of the piece shows the entirety of the inside of the grapefruit. 2. How did you use value to create dimension? Is this important? Why? I used value to create dimension by making the back grapefruits darker, the inner parts of each grapefruit is lighter to create dimension. Creating dimension is important because it brings out certain aspects of the piece that should be brought out. 3. What did you achieve by adding exaggerated color? When I used exaggerated color it made the grapefruits look brighter and more realistic. When i added purple it added shadow in the pulp looking circles of the fruit. Adding a wide variety of pinks and reds and purples made the highlights accented and look more realistic instead of a cartoon. 4. Describe the craftsmanship of your colored pencil. When creating this piece, I made each circle of the fruit a different size. I drew the grapefruits that were farther up first then continued to put more in the back because there was a lot of empty space. I originally was going to do grapefruit, limes, lemons and oranges but it was going to be too much going on so I only did grapefruit. 5.Were you able to achieve depth by having a foreground, middle, and background? Yes I was able to achieve depth because there are some grapefruit in the front and the back of the piece. 6. Explain your experience. I enjoyed using the colored pencil. It came onto the paper very well and looked very good. I was very pleased with the way that this turned out. I did not face very many challenges besides having exact colors. above is first my color sketch, my composition sketch, my reference photos, and my 20+ ideas
These are my four value charts. The first chart is stippling, then hatching, then cross hatching, then invented where I used the letter G. These are my 3D shape value charts. The first shape is a sphere where I used stippling, the second is a cone where I used the hatching method, the third is cross hatching on the cylinder and the fourth is a cube where I used the invented method with different sized circles. This is the stippling worksheet where I copied the methods on the left of the worksheet on the right. These are the two texture worksheets where I used the methods above in the below boxes. These are the drawings I did from watching the videos that focused on light source and shape of objects. It also focused on how to draw different textures. This is my landscape drawing where I used multiple patterns to create a landscape. 100 texturesThese are my 100 squares with pattern. Each square has a different pattern. These are my two shapes wrapped in a pattern. twenty ideas list. These are my in progress photos. On the left is my sketch, and on the right is my cropped original photo, or my "compositional sketches." This is my original photo (reference photo). Final-1. Describe how you arranged your composition. Discuss your use of the elements and principles. Is it a successful composition?
I arranged my composition by using the rule of threes. I made sure there wasn’t anything out in space and everything was where it should be to make the piece flow nicely. 2. How is texture and pattern are important in your composition? Pattern in my composition because it creates the shapes of the object in my peace, and it shows the shape and line very well. Texture makes the objects not look flat. 3. Why is value so important in this project? Value is important in this project because it makes objects into things in the penis distinguish other objects. It makes the piece flow better, and look better. It is seen in my piece on the boat, the water, the clouds, and the objects in and out of the water. 4. Describe your craftsmanship (How well the project is crafted technically). I feel that I put the correct patterns in correct textures in the spots to make the piece flow. My craftsmanship what is crafted technically and correctly because you can distinguish and see each object. The boat is different from the water, the mountains look farther away, the ground is different from the shadow. 5. Explain how your knowledge and creating practice studies with valueand pattern contributed to the success of your piece. My knowledge and creating practice studies allowed me to create a piece that has composition, and know where to use what patterns. I knew how to use value and how to create depth. 6. When applying the pen and ink/pattern techniques why and how is it important to make sure you understand the concepts taught in class? It is important to make sure you understand the concepts we were taught in class because without that knowledge my piece would not have value unless I knew these concepts. 7. As a growing artist how do you think what you have learned will guide and better your future projects. Explain. I learned to be patient in my work and I learned new useful techniques with composition. 8. If you could recreate your piece what would you do differently to enhance your final outcome? If I did my piece differently I would have done the boat on the right a different pattern to give it more value. 1. Describe how you arranged your composition. Discuss your use of the elements and principles. Is it a successful composition?
I arranged my composition by making the S block forward and lighter than the set back objects. I used the pressure of the pencil and shading to create light and dark values. These values create the composition of the project. I feel that it was a successful composition because I feel that I portrayed the elements accurately. 2. Did you use a wide range of values? Explain how this is evident. I used all 9 ranges of the values and this is evident in the S block, where it is light and very dark, it is evident where it is a very light shade behind the basket and you can also see the range of values in the shape of the basket and the ball. You can also see it in the shadows of each object. You can also see it in the highlights of each shape. 3. Explain how your knowledge and creating practice studies with value contributed to your piece. My knowledge and practice contributed to my piece because it helped me with where to put each object and use my pencil to create dark and light values. I also was able to control my pencils and portray the shape of each object correctly. 4. Describe the blending and transitions in your objects. In my ball, you can see how it is darker in the indents, so I pressed harder with the pencil. I also shaded slightly darker to lighter in the basket. 5. Explain how your interpretation of texture is essential in capturing the look of the object. My interpretation of texture is essential in capturing the look of the object because it helps make the object look more realistic. It also makes it have the most correct shape and composition. 6. If you could recreate your pieces what would you have done differently? If I could have recreated my piece I would have tried to make the basket look more realistic because it was the most challenging part for me. This assignment was to draw a tree, an animal, a perspective street scene, and your hand. I drew a picture of a tree in a field, a cow grazing, a one point perspective street, and the top part of my hand.
For this assignment we accurately drew and shaded a cylinder, a sphere, a cone, and a cube from memory. We had to make sure it was not floating and have a light source.
