Maddie's art journey
My name is Maddie Elders, I'm a sophomore at Zeeland west, and it's my first year in the Zeeland schools. This is my first year that I have taken an art class in high school, and I have really enjoyed it! I hope to continue art class in the next couple of years. I would really like to go to college, and become a nurse, I really enjoy helping people! It would be a dream to work in the NICU center. I have really enjoyed getting to know everyone in this class, and getting to know myself a little better through art.
I used positive and negative space, as well s value to make this picture of my hand stand out more, to make it a little more realistic.
I really tried to focus on the real picture, using blending techniques, texture and value I tried to draw this mug with paint brushes in it.
The two main things I used to create this are value and texture, using a black and white picture of an elephant, I could see the values in the picture.
Using vanishing points, horizontal lines and space , and 2 point perspective to create my two point perspective.
In my before and after self portrait, I used the placement of each shape to make it as realistic as posible, as well as blending, space, texture, and light and heavy pressure.
In conclusion, this class has really thought me a lot about patience, art takes time and dedication. I have looked forward to this class everyday this semester. I have proven to myself that I can do anything I set my mind to.
