This is my Disney background. I used acrylic paint and depict a secret volcano base for an evil villain.

This is my dreamtime painting, in which I used acrylic paint. I incorporated the design element of contrast by using contrasting colors of orange and blue. I also made the background a dark blue, and everything else lighter to make it stand out more. The art elements I used include line and color. I used different types of lines to give the picture variety. The picture is supposed to represent an individuals memories. The blue represents the brain and time while the yellow and red objects represent memories and lessons from the past. In the end, the painting has a hopeful, happy feeling.
For my independent project, I decided to remake my self portrait. I wanted to remake the portrait to give it more value and to get the proportions right. I used vine charcoal on a 18in by 24in piece of paper. The main thing I learned was how to create form and value. If I could improve anything, I would make the nose and forehead smaller. I used contrasting values, black and white, to develop a more three dimensional shape. I would say it has a serious feel to it.
This is a block print of a face looking up. I used a rubber block to carve out the picture and ink to print it. One of the main things I learned from this project is how to use (and carve) negative space. The main art elements that I used were color and form. I tried to use direction and type of line to create a three dimensional face. I used color in to develop contrast, a major design element. An example of contrast can be found in the top left corner, where I used a warm color background to make the blue "pop". Overall, I would say the block print has a warm feeling, with a little bit of hope mixed in.

My picture is a close up in drawing of a hand. One of the new skills i learned from this picture was how to create value in my drawing, which also happens to be one of the main art elements. I used value to make the hand stick out and draw the eye to certain places. The main design element I used was proportion. Since the hand is at a very odd angle, I used proportion so people could still identify what it is. Overall, I think it has a sort of "organized chaos" feel to it.
This is my landscape painting. I used acrylic paint to recreate an image I took (which you can find on my working blog). The scene is of a car in a fall forest. One of the main skills I learned was how to create space and texture in my painting. I also used the art elements of line, color, and form. I used line direction for the trees and backgrounds (the trees are vertical lines while the background is horizontal), form to create a three dimensional space, and color to create contrast. The design elements I used were contrast and proportion. I used contrasting colors when painting the car (red/orange with blue) and proportion with the middle ground, foreground, and background. The painting is a bit ironic because the car is destroyed by nature, but cars are advertised to be resistant to the elements.
This is my three sided portrait, which I used watercolor to paint. I learned how to proportionally draw the face and make it appear 3D. I did this by using the art elements of form and color. The face is a very three dimensional shape, with the nose extruding and the eyes intruding. To really make the face appear 3D, I used the design element of emphasis. I really tried to emphasize the shadows and highlights so the eye could see the face(s) as a 3D object, not just a painting. Overall, the painting feels calm since there is no emotion on the face, but also independent.
This is my front view portrait, which i used pencils and paper. The main skill I learned was creating the right proportions and shape of the face. The art elements I used for this drawing was value and form. I wanted to make the face look 3D, not flat, to make it more realistic. The design element I used was proportion and scale. The face is very symmetrical, and getting the wrong proportions would make the face look odd. All in all, the drawing has a simple and somewhat happy feel to it.
This painting is a simple fall leaf that I painted with water color. The main skill I learned was how to use water color properly. I have not really used water color before, so it was nice to get some experience. My main focus for the painting was to have layers of color and shadows.
