Describing My Photograph

Describe: I made this piece using pencils. I first lightly sketched out the outline of my drawing. Then i went in with an HB pencil and added some darker details. For the black areas in my picture i used a 4B pencil to apply the darkest color. Lastly i took either the lightest pencil; 4H or an eraser and added the highlights and white areas. I think the blending is clearly shown in my piece and i used a blending tool to do it. 
Analyze: In my piece i used balance by centering the horse in the middle of the page. I also used movement throughout the fur and fence. Along with emphasis in the dark and bold areas. For the arrangement i considered multiple different positions for the horse. I was influenced by the realism period of art. 
Interpretation: There’s meaning in this piece for me because i decided to draw my own horse. I used my own picture and my ideas developed from looking at multiple different pictures. Then comparing them and drawing the best. So, my piece is about my horse and showing a peaceful setting and a small portion of the horse herself. I wnat the viewers to see and understand what she means to me. 
Judgment: I think throughout the course of this project i definitely identified both my strengths and overall growth. My strengths are probably the beginning sketches of it; finding the position. Along with blending the different shades and tones together. My intentions were to create a very realistic drawing and have a well blended and balanced drawing. I think the piece was successful. However, i would probably add more detail to the background if i was to fix something about it. Overall i think i improved on my detail and i’m proud of the constant detail that i included throughout the piece.

Human Figure Project- Kolesa

     Describe-      This piece is showing the figure of a dancer. The girl is in the middle of a pose. There is a dark outline near the outside of the figure, which is to define the dancer in the middle of the page. this piece is using graphite and heavy contrast.      Some principals used are spacing in between the girl and the outline to bring the attention to her. There's also movement throughout because the girl in mid-action. Contrast is also very prominent to define the darker parts and in order to create a light source in the piece. I organized this piece by using a simple action so that it was clear what the girl was doing, but still provided an interesting scene. I then created a background with the blended line around her to add detail to the background but not take attention away from her, rather bring attention to her.          The meaning of this piece was to illustrate an action that i thought was fascinating and is done in many di

Artists (Current & Master)

The current artist i chose was Lindsay Bryant. I chose Lindsay because she has many upclose drawings and paintings that i admired for their detail and technique. Especially with her horse paintings. The master artist i chose was Edgar degas. I chose Degas because although he did many pieces on ballerinas i liked the technique and realistic style he would often use. He in fact had a few horse pieces that inspired me to choose the piece i did.
