My very first project :)

My first project is inspired by the past, present and future. To begin I looked at my own past and looked at other class members pasts as well. Then I did things in the present so took the emothions and thoughts at that very moment then displayed them visually. I then thought about my future, like my hopes and dreams and then presented them in a visual way.

My still life observation drawings

 
In our drawing lesson we drew from still life observation of natural objects such as shells, wilted flowers, rocks and bones. We explored the objects form by studying the detail of the object from close observation and shape by looking at the object with a more 3 dimensional view rather than a 2D flat approach. I then developed my tonal skills by using different pencils mainly using a 3B to a 5b to add the different tones. Also understanding the techniques used in order to get the different surface's for example: pressing hard of soft, using the tip of the pencil or the side of the pencil and cross hatching or smudging.
 
This drawing is probably my strongest piece int his activity as I was able to achieve better tone on the shell as I was aware of its form and shape.  


I found this object the hardest to draw however I am pleased with the outcome as the techniques I followed were different from the usual techniques I had previously used.
