thinking about your paragraph ...

1 - describe the image - media, subject, size, material

2 - talk about a skill that is showcased or newly learned

3 - how do the art elements make design elements

4 - what is the overall feeling, mood or idea of the image?

lets' talk about the paragraphs below - both before and edited. Also please make sure you read ANYTHING you write out loud for sense. Watch for correct usage -- allusion should be illusion and 'and' should be 'an' :) 

Make sure you edit your pictures --- see how much better they look edited!

This is a drawing of swirling squares. I used a pencil and ruler to create lines to make an allusion. I also used darker lines to create depth. It uses shape with the squares and depth from how dark or light the lines are. I combined the swirling squares and other lines to create and allusion which is blended together. It has lines and value. The idea of the drawing is to trick the mind and give it a dramatic look. ​

This is a pencil drawing of swirling squares on paper. I changed the pressure of my pencil to create different values of lines. This change in values creates depth because the darker lines come forward in space. The lines  get smaller and smaller as they go to the middle of the squares and create a sense of movement and Drama. The idea of the drawing is to trick the mind.

(always avoid the construction - give it a ---like - look.)

ex -This is my watercolor final painting. Some art elements used in this were line, value, space, form, color and texture. Pretty much all of the art elements. The design elements used in this were contrast, movement, proportion, and scale. The media used in this was card-stock paper, watercolors, pencil, and water. The intent of the drawing was to imitate some still life leaves and try your best to paint them onto paper with the color and texture as close as you can get it.

This is a water color painting of leaves on card stock paper.  the intent was to try your best to paint them with the color and texture as close as you could get. I learned how to let colors blend in a wet on wet technique to get a more natural color blend.  The cool blue shadows emphasize the plane of the table so they don't float in space. The contrasting colors of the greens and reds create a fun  fall mood.
