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 different ways with many different styles. That way, i could learn about these differences and create my own piece with a position and outfit style i liked.
   
     Throughout this piece i definitely grew in some areas. For starters i learned to use different pencil shades in order to more easily create areas of darkness and light, and form a light source. Along with that, my blending improved as i continued with the background. My strengths were definitely in finding the right proportions for her body that looked best with the action and style.
