Art from 2009

Cool stuff. What do you like to do best in terms of style, materials etc?

I like the painting stuff, mostly the Oils.. I love colour and being able to work with it for atleast a day before it dries is perfect for my fussiness. I also like the printmaking Intaglio, its a really fun process. It's not drawing, its not painting but its a really cool thing all in itself. You don't really know how something is gonna turn out until you print it so you get this really big buzz when something turns out well and you feel anxious right before thinking you've done all this work and it might fail haha.. In Painting this year though we are using oils and they are teaching us the techniques of 15th 16th Century Renaissance artists.

I like the Polar bear the best :love:

awww thanks :love:

Oh nice. With the Renaissance techniques, will you also learn the weird photograph/mirror thing they used to portray things so realistically? I remember seeing about it on Discovery once, or I read about it. Regardless, it came down to it that those Renaissance fellas managed to capture a real scene on some kind of image and managed to paint from that, hence it all being so incredibly realistic.

Nah, it's how we paint. Next term we will be trying to paint a Renaissance painting. I think you're talking about the original camera they figured out, they'd project it onto a wall and paint from that. We will be doing something like that in 2nd semester using an overhead projector, which is basically the same thing haha.

I use a Nikon f801 film camera. To take that photo I had it on f 8 and shutter speed was "60

I developed @ f 8 for 30 sec with 2 1/2 filter.

You should draw again, see how you go.. If you feel like its worth your time, you don't have to be great at something to enjoy it, but you might end up being great at something you enjoy.

It might be a cool project to try and exactly duplicate their "camera obscura" as I believe it was called. Maybe something to try in class with the whole bunch.

Nice work, you're very talented.

No I didn't do anything more after the course but I had my share of fun doing 3D stuff.

I'm not a painter w/ a brush. I finger paint well and draw well.

Anyway, here is my sisters work. They are only 1 hr projects in class though.
The ones she did outside of class are fantastic but she gave them away or her teacher kept them.


A skeleton charcoal

Jesso Projects w/ water color

Jesso w/ water color

This is her least favorite project ever. It's her first attempt to do a self portrait w/ Charcoal. I agree, I like her self portrait in pencil a lot better. (Which was ruined here @ home) =(

none of the pics uploaded..

Here is her doing The Notebook

Nice, I really like the third one, it reminds me of the abstract artists we've been looking at.
I know how she feels about the charcoal, its so hard to work with.. I think graphite works alot better ofr portraiture, especially if you want a realistic look to it. Charcoal pencils arn't too bad, the sticks are horrible. lol
