Still Life Drawing



In class we had to make a still life drawing, and we had to make it as realistic as possible and try not to show any outlines. I feel I did a fairly good job at mine, but it was pretty difficult to not make an outline, especially if the the values were the same or very similar (like the sculpture and mannequin torso, they were both white so I had to make it so if didn't look like they were merged together or something like that....also the sculpture was very hard to draw!)
But overall, I think it turned out pretty well! :)

Post-Modern Art Styles Poster!



We had to make a post-modern art styles poster. I didn't add about one thing, but I didn't have the time to put it in, so this is what I got! This is a poster with 10 different post-modern art styles on it, with a photo example and a few distinctive characteristics of the style (which I couldn't get in). I chose to put Abstract-Expressionism, Color-Field, Post Impressionism, Cubism, Ashcan Art, Post Impressionism, De Stijl, Fauvism, Op Art and Surrealism (the outstanding ones are Art Deco, Dada, Pop Art, Art Nouveau, Cubism, Earth Art, Photorealism and Graffiti).

I do admit this poster could be better, but in the end its pretty good enough X) 

Post-Modern Art Styles portrait



For CyberArts we had to make post-modern art style self-portraits representing ourselves, either on the inside or the outside. I decided to take a surrealistic turn for mine and make it about the me inside.

The reason why I chose surrealism is because I feel its an art style that gives you things that are unexpected and crazy, Which is kind of what I am, but mostly crazy! I wanted it to be a bit all over the place, so you look around the entire photo (the emoticons pop out the most, but then its supposed to lead your view to the back.)

I really don't have a lot to say about it,  but since it represents me, the one people can't see just by looking at me, I might as well explain;

As I said, I'm pretty crazy, and sometimes I tend to get mood swings (hence the emoticons) one minute I could be happier than a kid in a candy store, the next minute its like I'm at a funeral, thats how weird it gets. The heart and the mouthed apple in my hands are supposed to represent my twisted mind and sense of humour (also I like drawing apples with mouths). my blue scarf is supposed to represent anxiety. The blue is off, but the colour of the anxiety ribbon is a blue, and I have severe anxiety, so I thought I'd throw it in.
The rainbow liquid seeping down my face I can't exactly remember why thats there, but...eh, it looks nice?
I put the text in the back (The text is two riddles from The Hobbit!) because I just really like it, I suppose XD

But yeah, thats my Post modern art styles portrait! :)
