For this piece of artwork, I used summer as my source of inspiration. The movie "Grease" and the beach made me think to paint this. That rock/cliff was inspired by the movie "Grease" because that is where Sandy and Danny fell in love, at the beach. And that area had those kinds of big rocks around. New technique and processes that I learned were how to blend colors. I learned what primary, secondary, and tertiary colors were. As well as many other mixes of colors. I gained skills by learning what happens when you mix certain colors. I also learned that acrylic paint will not wash out in clothing. The biggest risk for me was to paint the big rock because I was so scared that I was going to mess it up since I had painted the sky and the ocean so well. But I painted it and at first I was still unsure of what it looked like but after tips from my classmates and teacher, I was able to make it more realistic looking. By asking for feedback, I was able to make my painting look better so I am glad that I did that. One thing I also learned is to always step back from afar and examine your work because the perspective will change the way you see the painting. Overall, I thought that the painting was not going to turn out very well but it turned out better than I had expected and I am glad I got to learn new techniques while accomplishing this project.
This is the sketch that I drew for my one point perspective drawing. I came up with the idea of a tsunami wave going over the city because I love those kinds of movies where it has a survival theme. This idea came from the movie called "The Day After Tomorrow." So I guess that was my "inspiration" for drawing this piece. This drawing is unique because I made the city be near the beach while the one in the movie was in New York City. In this project, I learned a new technique which is are perspective drawings. I learned that perspective drawings are a technique used to represent three-dimensional images on a two-dimensional picture plane. I enjoyed learning this new technique because I now know how to draw things into perspective. This sketch was drawn in only one point perspective. From this project, I was able to learn how to represent the way that objects appear to get smaller and closer together, the further away they are. This is my final product. I think I could have added a little bit more detail to the buildings but I didn't have enough time to. My sketch was very more detailed than my final one and I forgot to but the sail boat in the tsunami wave to make it seem more 'dynamic.' I think the palm trees made it look 10484x more beachy and helped the theme of the drawing. I made the colors very colorful in an effort to make it more warm and summer like. The art of the project that took the most time and what I did not enjoy was the coloring. It was a lot of coloring and it got tiring after a while. A tool I used was technology to find references on what I was going to draw for this project. Overall I enjoyed learning perspective and I think it will benefit me in the future. |
