This semester I had to take 2-D Design which basically is a drawing/painting class without the teaching of techniques. It has been really fun but extremely hard for me because I wanted to learn the technique as well so I would go to class, learn what I had to do, and then would come home and have Jake instruct me in the "how tos" of the elements I wanted to protray in my art pieces. I just finished my last project that had a main theme of Texture but also had to include the other 11 elements we learned about throughout the semester. I'm so happy to be done! In celebration I thought I would share my art pieces of the semester.
Sharpie Line Project
Inspired by Mt. Chirripo
The Little Mermaid
4 pieces showing the different ways of creating Shape & Volume
The Princess and the Pea
Depicting Asymmetrical Balance
Value
Greyscale Frodo
(Mine looks more like Prof. Snape than Frodo in my opinion)
Color
We drew an emotion and color out of a hat I got Happy and Yellow
Criteria: can only use the assigned color and Black & White and variations of those 3
Has to include text with no recognizable shapes
I had a terrible time with this because my color combo and emotion were so made for each other Ugh!

But I got out of 50 out of 50 on it. Score!
Focal Point- Self Portrait
I decided to go a little abstract with my self portrait Haha it was fun. I'm the Palm tree if you couldn't tell (I got dalked points because I didn't have a recognizable focal point)
Also had to include 5 things describing you
These next few are Scale & Proportion
We had to take a picture of an object, cut it out, and then take another picture of it in different environments. Way Fun Project!
Motion
Rhythm
Had to coincide with a song
I was going to do something really cool like the song Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean and create ocean waves out of the beats but it was too hard. So I turned on my ipod (which had my workout mix on it) click random and Miley Cyrus's Fly on the Wall came on. So.......that's what I did my assignment on. Haha!
Space
Inspired by the 7.2 Earthquake
And the Final project that Had to have Texture as well as the other 12 aspects
