Look at your body of work over the semester and choose 2 pieces that show your growth as an artist. Discuss each piece and how you grew in the following areas: application of materials, techniques and skills, artistic vision, use of the principles and elements, creativity, intuition and subject matter.
I feel from these two drawings, I grew a lot because in the first picture you can tell how rushed it is and there was a lot of techniques that weren’t necessary that needed to be put in. It was better if it was plain and visible to the eye instead of seeing all these details that aren’t necessary and are distracting and not focusing on the main focus. It was very creative in a sense but it was very messy and there was no sort of elements in the picture that fit it, overall messy.
The second picture improves a lot better with element most with the strokes to the hair and lines to show the creases of the jacket. The creativity of using a zebra and forming into my Portrait was a very good idea I wish I could of formed myself a little bit more with the zebra to show it was about a zebra but my main focus was my stripes and how it goes on a human. My technique on this was realistic and try to keep it simple and not to much but enough to see every detail clear so it wouldn’t be messy and bunched up together. My artistic vision was to make my skin white but also a little dark so it could go along not being to white or to black. My main goal was to show the ears to show that it was a zebra and make the zebra lines not to dark but dark enough so it can show my nose and my mouth and any important detail in the picture. The subject was basically to get all of details and to get it plain and simple and show that it was realistic but also visible to see that it was a zebra and creative.
