Figure Drawing

This is a figure drawing of Ashley from Life Drawing 2 in his relaxed pose. Although, he looks relax his body is still in great motion of tensity and concentration. As shown in his tucked in foot and the tension from his clench hand. I believe this is my best piece out of all the other pieces that I worked on. I said this is my best piece because I believed I understood the use of lines, plains and volume to create a believable and naturalistic figure form. The convex contour lines that I use on this piece was to show the skin bulging, which gives more volume to the form. I like to blend my shaded lines to show volume and then go back to the shaded areas and add contour lines over the shaded area to show directions of the plain change. Also, I wanted to show depth and space around the figure. I executed this method by addressing more aggressive or darker lines in the foreground and more softer and lighter lines in the background. Addition to that I showed more details to the foreground and show last detail to the background as it go further in space. Another important element to this figure was light. I tried to show light, when casted onto the figure it would give a more contrast and a more dramatic feel to the figure. Lastly, I chose this composition for this piece because I wanted to draw a focus onto the figure going back to space. I believe it would make it for the eyes to rest on.

Hand Bone Drawing

Bone Drawing Assignment two

Unknown

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.

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.
