Drawing and Painting by Elijah larson

Graphite Drawing

Problem to Solve: Refresh your knowledge of graphite by recording the highlights, shadows, and reflective light cast upon a sphere or simple object.

Reflection - I didn't learn too much. I think this project gave me confidences about me and my skill in graphite drawings.

Colored Pencil Object Drawing.

Problem to Solve: Add the variable of color to your knowledge of value. Observe and record the hue, value, and color intensity cast upon a simple colored object under a spotlight. Optional Challenge: Place the colored object within a differing colored corner of a box to record the colored reflective light cast upon both surfaces.

Reflection - I think this was challenging. This was kind of like graphite but with color and if you make a mistake you really cant fix it. Also it was challenging to gradate.

Emotional Interpretation Response.

I feel the drawing gives a rugged feel and is tiring because the boots are slumped down and the laces are every where and Also they look like work boots so Van Gogh might have been trying to show the emotion of tiredness and like hard work

Problem to Solve: Observe the visual clues in the artworks and use them to decode your own emotional interpretation.

Object Possessing Emotion.

Problem to Solve: Create an image of an object in such a way that it feels like it possesses an emotion.

Reflection - I learned how to use colored pencils to do the same thing as graphite. I also learned how to compose the art so that it has emotion and I have never ever really thought about that.

Aim to create an image that temporarily gives us the phobia chosen.
