Over the nine weeks I said I would work on my risk taking and my collaboration with other artists in my community. I ended up falling short in risk taking by not changing much of anything in my artwork, but I did end up collaborating more with some of my new friends. I say in the end my risk taking dropped because of lack of effort and not taking time outside of class to work on my artwork, but my collaboration has improved because I've been talking to different artists in my classes. I'll try to improve on risk taking by drawing outside of my comfort zone and also drawing in different mediums, and I'll try to further improve my collaboration by talking to more artists inside my classes and outside of my classes.
Over these nine weeks I want to work improving my risk taking and my collaboration in the art community. I hope to improve my risk taking and collaboration by also talking to more people while also taking risks in my art like more shading or more visual emphasis.

We had a TASK party awhile back, it is used to show how other people's artwork can be used to make something new, whether it is added on to or completely destroyed and something is made from its pieces. I ended up completing 18 tasks, very poorly made but I was trying to accomplish as many tasks as I could in the time provided. Click the button below to be taken to the pictures.
My very poorly made video critique over my less than started still-life sketch.
The artwork I am making will show the elements Form, Texture, Value, Color, and Line. The artwork I am making will also show the principles Pattern, Emphasis, Balance, Unity, and Movement. The form of my face will be showing movement and I will be focusing on the texture of my hair by emphasizing the lighter spots.
While looking through artwork by many various artists for an art project I am working on for my drawing class, I came across an artist by the name of Lex Wilson. His artwork has shown me how fine details and color choice can make an artwork very complex. Although his artwork is in a different media then the stuff we do in drawing class I still find that that multiple personalities depicted in his piece "Are You Happy" very similar to the seven different heads I am drawing with each having a different expression. I emailed Lex on Wednesday (1-27-16) to see if I could display his artwork on my website and he replied the next day saying that it was no problem. He did not request payment but did ask me if I could add a link to his website so if you could check out his Facebook page or website that would be fantastic, he is an amazing artist with new artwork coming out all the time. I've left buttons below leading to his website and Facebook page.
These are my value scales, the first one I did was graphite pencil the most basic of all drawing tools. The next one I did was the color pencil a colorful version of the graphite pencil. After that is the pen not really a artistic tool but more of a seal your fate in ink. Then came charcoal just a dusty pencil. Pastel: wet chalk. water color pencil was just a less effective version of the color pencil. And last but not least the marker a kinder-gardener's dream weapon.
