30 minute observation:

This piece reminds me of my wood sculpture (Post).
I like that cast of that is being done here. It relates to life drawing 2 addressing the female humanists and the beauty of its necessity. The necklace that is on the sculpture appeals very feminine, although it becomes almost abstract.

I like the fact that this piece is displayed on a pedestal because it becomes iconic and worth value. The necklace and the items laying next to the female cast shows a great deal of belongings and necessities correlating to modern girls now a day. "Girls value their jewelry or items as their best friends.

I Believe that this piece is promoting or is advertising merchandise for sales. But overall, I like the simplicity and this few items that is displaying, it's visually appealing for the viewers or the buyers.

Vertebrate and Rib Drawing

Bone Drawing | Assignment 1

The approach to this assignment was
to draw the connection contact between the vertebrate and the rib.
Using the techniques learned from life drawing 1, I apply the use of lines to show planes that creates a 3D form of the objects. Using different line strokes I was able to show what details is closes to me and what is furthest from me. Sometimes I like to use cross-hatching to enhance and to articulate forms through defining planes.

Lastly, this book shows astonishing artworks from the old masters of the renaissances era and current students.

The Beginning Of A Secret Journey

Title: "The Beginning Of A Secret Journey"
Media: Acrylic Paint on Wood Panel

Description:

This was a project done in Painting 1. It is a narrative painting that base on the Hmong Refugees. This painting shows some symbolisms that talks about the secret journey. I gave the title "The Beginning of A Secret Journey" because the Hmong people are rarely heard off. To this day a lot of the people in the US still don't recall what or who the Hmong people are. I believe this is my favorite piece out of all the projects that I had worked on. I most like about this piece are the colors and the symbolism that it conveys. I enjoyed working on this piece because I was able to communicate and express about myself and my people.

Pose

Title: "Pose"
Media: Wood

Description:

This was a project done in 3D Design. It was a pose that has to engage in a new movement. The figure is in action and it is interacting around its environment. The measurements for this piece was base off myself; measuring from waist up with a tape ruler.
Working with this piece was enjoyable. I learned how to use the machines and to know its functionality. I had a great time making this piece because I put great amount of power and I just love working with the individual pieces around the machines.

Fear And Anger

Title: "Fear And Anger"
Media: Ink on white paper

Description:

This was a project done in 2D design. The words that rapped around the figure's face was "fear" and "anger". This piece was executed in a self-portrait format. My approach was to create this piece in the most human flesh and 3D like face to express the emotion and to give as much information and content to the viewers. I like this project because I was able to study the face structure and to have self-disciplines on my part.
