Shades of Gray

Today in art we worked with different char coals and whites we started off with making the paper a shade of gray from the char coal. We then had to add in a few items that were on the table. Our task was to have five shades of gray in our art. I liked this assignment because it was fun to have different colors and actually draw some still life. Something i could have done better is add the towel i decided to leave it out of my art because it looked really bad when i put it in. But overall i really liked this assignment.

What's in the sack?

Today in art we were supposed to draw a set up of bags filled with things that we didn't know. We were given paper an eraser and char coal. We were supposed to start the project generally and get more specific. This task was very hard especially the getting specific part because its hard when all u have is char coal. One of the hardest parts for me was when I was drawing the cardboard box. The box didn't exactly come out how i had planned. I realized my box didn't exactly have the right shape. Also its very hard to erase char coal because its so dark. We also were not supposed to look at our art as much as the set up. And also we were not given a whole lot of time to complete this task.

Still Life

Today in art class we had to draw with charcoal and then we had to take out some of the things and add more. This task was very hard because quickly things changed. Also we were told not to look at our drawing to much and not to care about how it looked. I think this may have been a scary thought for some of us. Somethings we had to work on to try to keep up with this was to quickly erase, quickly sketch, and most of all pay attention to what was changing in the still life. Another part to this that was hard was that erasing coal is not the easiest task. By the end our drawings had all sorts of eraser lines. We started off with one small plate then lots and lots of objects were added. By the end on the only thing that was still on the table was one small flower.
