Word Drawing

Picture
    In this work we had to have a picture and draw it using words. You could write what you wanted and it had to be related to your drawing.The picture also could be whatever picture you wanted of someone who is very important to you and you had to bring it printed for us to see and copy it with words. We could use different colors and do any picture we wanted. We worked on it for about two weeks. We had to hand it in with a backround color paper and our professional sign on the front of the drawing. 
    I chose Justin Bieber for two reasons, one because im a big fan and two because y love music and he has inspired me to do a lot of things so he is very important to me. I wrote a lot of his lyrics around, his name, his family names, his song names, things he has done and some other things. The easiest part was making the basic shape but then the hardest part was filling it with words. More than hard it was very long and is was complicated to think of things to write and i got confused in the order. I used red for his headphones and the shade i made it with pencil so it did not look too dark. I really enjoyed doing this work and i liked how it came out. I chose yellow for the backround because it's my favorite color. I am really satisfied by the way it came out.  

Canvas

Picture
    For this assignment we had to choose someone important as well and draw it on our canvas. We had to draw it with squares and copy it exactly as the original picture with the help of the squares. Then we had to fix anything that needed to be fixed and start painting. For then paint we had to choose one color and use it with its different tones and then color the backround with the opposite color or black or white. If we chose grey tones then we could choose any color for the backround. The painting had to have shades so we had to make our different tones needed and had to have 5 shades of the color total. then we had to add bibliograohy on the back and sign it on the front for it to look more professional.
    I chose Justin Bieber for this one too because he has insipred me a lot and he's really important to me plus, he's my favorite artist. The color shades i chose was grey scale and I chose purple for the backround because it's my favorite color. The most challenging part about this work was making the squares with the exact measure of the original picture because if not then it comes out distorted. Another hard part was putting everything in place and trying to make it look exact. Then the shading was hard too because a picture has a lot of shades and i had a lot of trouble in his nose. The most easy part was painting the backround and fixing the mistakes on the painting, also i liked painting it even though it was hard it was the best part of this work and it was really fun. I would change some things about it that i don't like, like the nose and the mouth. They do not look like his nose and mouth therefore it did not come out the way I would have wanted but in general i liked it.

Finish The Picture.

Picture
    In this work what we had to do was find a picture in a magazine that we really like and cut it out. Then paste it on a big piece of paper and "finish the picture". We had to finish the picture in a creative way, making an environment for it or just fill it out the way you wanted in a creative way. We had to paint it and make it look like the picture and the drawing are part of the same thing and make it look really original and inspiring. We could add feelings to it or thoughts.
     For this assignment I chose a girl listening to music because for me music is very important and i felt I could do something really nice with the picture. I finished the picture by adding a mountain to it and a blue sky with birds and words that are important to me. The sky represents peace, music represents love, birds represent freedom and i made it look as if the girl was watching the birds go by, lying on the ground listening to hear music peacefully. I did not find anything hard or challenging while doing this work and it was really easy to express myself thorugh it. I enjoyed it a lot and i had fun finishing this picture and i liked the way it came out.
