I took Intro to Art because I've always enjoyed art, and I wanted to learn more about art itself. I was expecting to learn new techniques of drawing, and i have.
Chiaroscuro is the contrast between light and dark to give the illusion of space. A good example of this is my nose and lips on my fragmented self-portrait above.
I discovered that I've grown more confident in what I do in art projects. I have always loved art, but learning how to properly use different mediums and techniques has helped me improve and love art even more.
