shades of gray

The goals was to have 5 different shades of gray and to have all the objects on the table look like it on paper. I achieve my goals by using my eraser to make the outlines of the objects and then I started using dark black to the drak objects then I used the regular charcoal and shaded very lightly and then I colored the lighter objects by putting a little more pressure on the charcoal to get a meduim and then to get in the middle i used my finger and smudged the charcoal to get in between. The challenge i had was trying to get the towel on my paper but i use the eraser with 3 light lines and black the other 3 lines because the towel was green and white

Title- Nighthawks Artist Edward Hopper and he was born in Nyack,New York

year it was made 1942 medium used- oil on canvas.

2. my first impresson that its a regualr monday and 4 people are having coffee

3. Hopper was inspired by a dinner where he lived greenwich village and shows a typical night people having dinner he used night owl a term to say people stay up late edward was a artist a very good one. As a young teenager he was making his own cartoons using charcoal and oil and paint.

4. I see contrast because everything look dark except inside the dinner place. Theres also leading lines where the artist wants you too see from. I think its asymetrical because its balanced because theres another building but inside its not balanced because there's 1 person side and on the other there's 3 people.

1. SYMMETRY 2.almost symmetrical 3.opposite symmetry 4.radial

I began with my my trophy case and my eyeball. I knew i wanted to make a one eyed creature. I thought thinking about which animal has one eye. Then it came to mind plankton from spongebob. I was thinking about making alien but i seen that plankton was simliar to a alien. I found his antlers and put legs on it. My sculpture was successful because i made it look like something. Something i could of done differently was to be more creative to make it look like plankton.

The principles of design-rules that organize shapesm linnes and forms help you get to the place that you want to get to with art

unity- a feeling where everything in the picture works together to make one

variety - including differences to make art more interesting

balance- is when visual weight of an art work feels evenly distributed

symmetry- draw line in the middle of picture its equal on both sides

approximately symmetrical- when both sides is almost equal

asymmetry- opposite of symmetry

radial where yu draw a line it would more divided it will always be the same

emphasis- when one element in an artwork appears to be more important or attract the most atention to create

contrast- when something very different around the focus

rhythm and movement

Proportion- size relationship of the parts to one another or to the whole

color

shapes

forms

create a story make distance shape and color to make contrast

Reflecting at Midterm

I have made a lot of progress as a artist this term. Art isn't my best subject but I tend to sometimes put a lot of effort in my work. I think im became more creative by really thinking about cool ways to make my art look unique in it's own way. I think im trying hard and trying to make evrything the picture work well with each other
