The steampunk girl

This was a ink and sharpie piece.  This piece was a steampunk piece we had to do for class.

Colorful people

This is an anatomy study of people.  This project was done in markers with a fine point to be able i make good lines of the people, i made sure to add in more for the people to give them character and personality. I also added ink on the background to really make the bright bein colors pop out

Gym bag

This project was done on colored paper, with charcoal.  I used dark and light areas so i could show contrast.

Elephant

This piece was made to show movement.  The idea was of abstraction from the natural world.  I picked an elephant because of its trunk.  This piece was made in oil and pencil.

Transparency

This project was to show transparency with prisma colored pencils.  I chose to get handheld magnifying glasses and take pictures.  I was able to get a great picture that shows different transparencies and colors.

Hunderwasser

This is a piece inspired by the artist Hunderwasser.  This piece depicts an image in a distorted, fun, colorful way.  I chose the landscape of a place where i grew up with alot of trees, and plants.

Classy

This is a portrayal of my vision of my late grandpa.  He was a very classy man, growing up i remember watching him dressing up and going to meetings, or church, or wherever.  His very famous look was such as this, a red tie with a black suit.  I decided to start from the top with a very intricate face, then eventually fade out to a different style, almost like realism.  The realism represents his death, as it fades to simpler abstract colors, and no in between colors.

Aura

On this project 'Aura' I decided to portray my grandma, and her aura through oil pastels.  As a kid, i used to spend alot of time in my grandma's house.  Throughout my childhood a vision of my grandma was created in my mind, which to this day is still the same.  With all her religious beleifs, morals, values, and actions, i thought of her a certain way, and created an aura.  These colors and patterns radiate the same ideas i have of my grandma.  In this piece I focused on color to balance my main point, which is my grandma.
