Artists develop art making skills Over the past two weeks in my 7th period Art class, I have practiced three different mediums involving color. I specifically wish to talk about chalk and oil pastels. This is my work I did with chalk pastels. The way I learned to utilize chalk pastels is you use it as if you would a crayon, and then you blend colors by mixing them with a finger, preferably your thumb. I liked working with this medium because it helped me understand the values in how to get that light effect on even darker colors, such as red, by blending in some yellow and orange. The picture above displays my small amount of sample work done with oil pastels. What I learned from the demo given by Casey Anderson yesterday is that one of the best ways to remove a mistake, if any were made, involving oil pastels is that you apply white before using any other color, for you can then scrape it off if you feel like something in your art does not look right. I definitely liked this medium because I was able to learn how to blend the multiple colors shown above to get that sea green and sunset-esque orange I've always enjoyed seeing in paintings and other forms of art.
Artists communicate through their workFor my Man vs Machine art piece, I realized that just about everywhere I go, there's at least one person on their phone or holding their phone in their hands. With this in mind, I created my rough draft based off the idea of technology being a biohazard. I decided to go a bit retro and utilize a flip phone image that I searched up on Google. You may be asking, "Why didn't you use a more modern type of phone?" Well, this is because I was inspired by the fact that some of the video games I've had the privilege of playing, such as Persona 4 and The World Ends With You, involves at least one of the characters using a flip phone. Also, personally, I feel as if flip phones are becoming, for the lack of a better word, endangered. artists develop art making skillsDuring the set amount of weeks of our Man vs Machine theme, I learned how to create fall lines. These give the impression that the object a person is holding is about to or in the process of falling. Also, to create the final version of my artwork, I utilized a light box to trace a brand new version of my rough draft artwork.
