Charcoal

This has been my first time doing charcoal. I think i did a good job of getting the shade inside the cross, with how it fades form white to black in the right places. Also were the ring is I think looks pretty good, because with how you can tell it is standing out in front of the hole. But one think I noticed I could do for next time I work with charcoal, is that I need to make sure the different sides of my picture are even with each other. Also that I need to work all over the picture not just one spot at a time. That is what I think happened for the right side I did every thing else first and rushed on that side. Which made it disportionate.

I have decided to make my frist pieces of art work this year in IB art based off this cross. I got this cross from my Grandmother, it is very improtent to me because she has now passed away. And it has become something I can look at to remind me of her. Also because of the colors, with how they go from the dark blue to the light blue. Then there is how the blue has faded to the really light blue.

Artist Statement

        I hace always had a really deep interest in art. With the many different types of art and the different way that it is made. But also the use and meaning of art through they pieces.
       I have only done a few different types of art, one of them being drawing. Another thing i have done is a sill Life's and a variety of self-portoriats. some techniques I have used are shading, coloring, 2D and 3D perspective points of views.
       I have also done a few different things with clay. They have been simple peaces like bowls,cups, a vase, and different types of trays. Some techniques I have used are cross hatching and scoring
       I would like to move forward with my understanding and ability to do thy works. I would also like to achieve a better understanding of other types of art but also how you can add more meaning to a peace and how to find that meaning. At the end of this class I want to hace I five of higher. I think this is a good goal because, I know I will enjoy this class I and I will work hard to have that grade.
