JPG Challenge - What do you Love? What do you Fear? A Diptych
Juxtapose two pi
ctures . On one side, a picture of something (or someone ) you love . Next to it ,same size, something you fear. This creates a two part composition called a DIPTYCH.
CARVING OUT THE LIGHT
1.
My goals and intentions in this artwork were to
focus on shadow and light and work on creating a good merge between the two.
2.
I accomplished this by erasing and pressing
harder or lighter with my charcoal.
3.
My painting is about dramatic shadows.
4.
I had a hard time not using black line. I also
had a hard time drawing what I saw instead of what I thought I saw.
5.
I met this challenge by continuing to reference
back to my paper. I also worked on this by drawing what was actually on the
picture. I tried to forget that the picture was of a pumpkin and instead just
draw the shadows.
6.
My painting really worked and looked well in the
merges I believe.
7.
I have learned that it is a lot easier to focus
on drawing the shadows first instead of drawing a pumpkin.
8.
Caravaggio really helped me in this painting
because this was the type of work that he commonly did. I learned that shadows
can show a lot of emotion and depth when done right.
9.
I have learned from a few artists in the class
something that is not good to do. When trying to show light DON’T outline it in
black line.
10. If
I could redo my drawing I would try to focus on creating the shadows first and
not even trying to sketch out the pumpkin with eraser.
11. I
feel I did really good merges and showing small bits of light in the places
that are needed.
