I thought that the color swatches were actually the most helpful warm-up. It was fairly difficult to make the color swatches, as they were hard to get right on the pallet and from there the colors looked a lot different on paper. In order to make the color brown I mixed all three primary colors together in about even amounts before adding a little more of a particular color and/or white or black. I chose to paint a tap shoe because its personal to me and I also liked the shape of the shoe for painting.
Pencil Drawing Pros: The pencils were definitely the easiest when it came to creating different values. They were also fairly useful for creating texture and filling in details. Cons: There were many times in which it was hard to shade in an area without creating lines. Charcoal Drawing Pros: Charcoal was really easy when it came to making darker values. Cons: It was super easy to smudge the charcoal and I had to repeatedly redraw my lines. Also, I felt that it was somewhat difficult to achieve a wide range of values. Pen Drawing Pros: There was a surprisingly large range of directions you could go with the pen. Also, once it was finished it (the stippling, at least) looked really interesting. Cons: It was kind of difficult to create a range of values and to distinguish between parts that were dark, yet slightly different. Composition is the way in which the elements of a piece of art are arranged and Value is the different lights and darks within a piece of artwork. I thought that this was the most helpful warm-up because it reinforced the initial pencil sphere and what we learned about value and making spheres. Also, until this point no one had really showed me how to use pastels, so I did not like them, but now I want to use pastels in a future project. |
