art principles 2010-2011: three forms drawing

three forms drawing
In a post on your blog describe how the drawing experience today felt. Describe specifically what you feel is successful about the results and/or anything you learned during the process.

I honestly think that was the most difficult drawing that you could have assigned. The only thing I felt was successful was at the beginning my shading but than I messed that up.

art principles 2010-2011: Pour Paintings

Pour Paintings

On my original pour painting I had no real hope to what the shapes would happen. That was until I let the painting dry, at first I did not see anything but when I took a closer more detailed orientation look I started to see things that at first I did not see at all. What I saw first was a the sun with a sail boat (seeming to be the perfect day or the idealistic life) than I thought of some one looking at the "cup of tea" or the idealistic life. In the end I decided to put a person looking down at the cup of tea while looking with a curious look on his face because so little people have the idealistic life.

Talk and Draw

Today you were the "drawer" and you were the "describer".
What was challenging about this experience? What would you do differently if you had to do this activity again?

Some things where more challenging than other things. The most challenging thing for me was the drawing because we had three people and the other person was getting ahead of me. I think that if we where to do this again I would not rush as much and ask more questions because my interpreter was very vague.

art principles 2010-2011: Collaborative Drawings.

Collaborative Drawings.

How did having someone else work on your drawing add to or take away from the final result?
How did it FEEL to return to your drawing and see other people's marks on it?

Having some one else work on my drawing was interesting. Sense I am not a very good drawer it helped a lot and it opened my eyes to see where other peoples imagination can help not only your drawing but see what other people can think of when you can't think of anything. I actually felt not-artistic when I came back to my drawing because I could only think of the basic parts of art while people could re-edit mine and make it look better.

art principles 2010-2011: Thinking about the Artist.

art principles 2010-2011: Thinking about the Artist.: "Due Monday September 13. Who is an artist? What does it mean to be creative? In 3 or 4 sentences describe what an artist needs to be produc..."

An artist has to be creative while having a good sense of what their doing. To be a artist you need to practice a lot just like a sport. To be creative means you have a imagination which a lot of people could use.
