Passion within Art

I have many passions within Art. One of my passions within Art is that I love doing it. Art lets me express what I am feeling. Art shows emotion and caring in something you dream about. My passion in art when I was little was always drawing my family and naming the stick people my dad or my mom and so on. When I was little I told you what I loved right out but when I grew older, I found other things to show how I love something in more of advanced way. When I grew older I got more detailed in face features of people instead of stick people. An example of face features would be my Grease drawing I did last quarter. When I grew older I realized there is a wider variety of art then just drawing. I learned how to oil paint, water paint, oil pastels, charcoal pencils, scratch paper, etc. I learned that people can make a living out of art like Leonardo Da Vinci, Andy Warhol, Vincent Van Gogh, etc. I learned that their are different styles of drawing like scratch drawings or ink drawings. There are so many more arts and crafts that I have not been able to explore but I love that I get to do what I love during advanced art. I can't wait to learn no things and get better at art.

Bon Appetit :)


This project I just wanted to work on oil pastels. Work on blending of oil pastels and things like that! I started doing this project cause at the time I was hungry and then the idea just popped in my head!

Reflection

This semester I have learned so much stuff that I can do in art! I have learned that art is a huge spectrum of ideas and I have only explored one tiny portion of it. I have learned how to blend pastels to make images look more 3D. I have learned to do better on the focus of backgrounds, foregrounds, and middle grounds. I have now noticed how much of the elements of art and art of designs that I use on a regular project. My best project so fair probably is my first one on the grid painting with squares. I really liked practicing my drawing of people on my Grease theme drawing but I would like to learn how to make the noses more realistic. I have loved this first semester of art and can't wait for next semester. :)

Artist Albert Hurter

Albert Hurter is one of my inspirational artist. Hurter has created many pieces of cartoons on disney animations. Some of his most famous pieces are found in Disney movies: Pinocchio, Fantasia, Snow White and the 7 dwarfs, Dumbo, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, etc. I think he was pretty cool because he is able to use his skills to make a cartoon come to life through Disney which is awesome. I would love to be able to have a cool job like that!
Here are some of his Artwork Produced on Disney:

Grease Theme


I made this project because I love Grease! It is my all time favorite movie! So I thought I should make a project on it. I really want to get better at drawing people. That was another reason why I decided to do this project. I thought the project turned out a lot better than what I expected it to turn out to be but I really want to do better and work out drawing people. I used paper, pencil, internet for ideas, and color pencils.

Mountain Paradise (Magazine Pieces)


I made this piece by cutting up many pieces of different color magazine paper. I made the black mountains by cutting out a long black paper and shaping them as mountains. This piece took a lot of time and patience. I thought the out come was pretty good and i'm glad I did the piece.

What I think Art is!


Art I believe is different to everyone. There is no clear definition to art. Art is somewhat of an emotion/emotions.They help express feeling by using color and the use of imagination. Art is our imagination on paper that we can express. Art is limitless which means that art will probably never end. Art is so wide based to the beginning of time with the cave men and their cave drawings to our new advanced art of technology like computers, phones, laptops, etc. No art is bad because art is whatever you want it to be and anyone can be an artist. Color is a big part of art. It shows the true meaning of the piece and makes us think if the piece is sad by the colors of blue, black, purple, or other cool colors. We can tell if the piece is happy or excited by warm colors like red and yellow that are bright and cheery! I love art because you can express all of your feeling just by painting it or drawing it! Art is a stress reliever to me and it helps to have it as a class in my schedule! :)
