Sorry for the miserable photo quality of all the posts from today... you should just be glad I finally updated this blog!

This project goes along with the thread drawing. We took something tiny and drew it HUGE and something Large and drew it on a small scale. This is only like 4 inches tall. Pencil. (Draw 2)

This is the extent of USUs watercolor program. What the lame! All they teach is how to "Sketch" in watercolor. "Real" painting is in oil apparently. I'm not a fan of oil painting. Too messy, too smelly, toxic, doesn't flow. (Draw 2)

Overall favorite project. We picked a composition of a classical artist and then copied it in to other artists styles. The top is Van Gogh , the bottom is Cezanne. So fun. Fell in love with Pastels in this project. ( Draw 2)

First Charcoal Drawing in Drawing 2, Fall 08. I love studio classes. This class was especially rewarding.

Don't worry, it is supposed to look strange. It has perspectives from all over the measuring tape. Always good to have weird assignments that you wouldn't otherwise create. Helps me to appreciate other's work even if it's not my style. (2D)

This little baby took about 26 hours. Ya and we had 2 other things going on at the same time with I think a week to complete all 3 assignments. I hated the class at this point. OVERLOAD! (2D)
Value study that took WAY too long! (2D)

Collage o death. It revealed my shy side that was especially apparent when I was little as well as my pleasantly happy self as an adult. (2D)

P.S. There are more new posts if you click on older posts :)

These 2 were a project on abstraction in my 2D Design class Fall 08. Let me tell you abstraction takes a lot more talent than you would think! It's hard work.

The top squares are all abstractions of the photograph on the bottom row of squares. The bottom piece is a further abstraction of one of the above abstractions. Can you tell which square the bottom piece came from?

These 2 are some more watercolor projects from SLCC
The top one was painted from a photograph of Spence fishing at Yellowstone. The bottom is a copy of another artist. I loved how she painted the girls hair and the fur of the cat. I am still learning so obviously there is room for improvement on the face.
