Napoleon Crossing the Alps - Art History

This link will take you to my most recent assignment. Napoleon Crossing the Alps History assignment. Im not sure if it explains all that much but, I did my best I could on it. Hopefully it reaches the teachers expectations.

Two Point Perspective. Finished.

Two Point Perspective. Finally finished. This is my two point perspective, drawing of bookshelves. While everybody else did buildings and streets, I decided to do something different, so I did bookshelves. The shading hopefully makes it look more "realistic".

Art History

http://www.mrsroseart.blogspot.ca/2013/02/please-dont-make-me-memorize.html if you look at this link, it will take you to the website that introduces our Art History project. We are learning about the French Revolution. Our assignment is to write and tell a story about an art work (painting). I chose to do "Napoleon Crossing the Alps". I believe I would like to do a voice thread, where it shows the picture and my voice is in the background telling the story. I figure I will tell the story of why the painting was made, where it came from, what it means, and such.

Two Point Perspective (almost finished)

This is the beginning of my Two Point Perspective. While everybody else was drawing buildings and streets, I decided to draw bookshelves, like in a library. In this assignment, it seemed to be all about making the dimensions look "realistic". This first photo I took mostly has just the outlines and how it will all sit on the paper.

This is the second picture I took of my Two Point Perspective. This is where I started to do the shading for it to look much more "realistic". I wasn't to sure if I should put dark outlines and shading or just the shading or even just the dark outlines, so I decided to put both. I'm happy with how it has come along so far. I will post the last picture some time later on in the day and that will be the finishing picture.

Figure Drawing

On the day when we were learning about "Figure Drawing", it was all based on proportions. We had to learn how to measure the figure by breaking it up into smaller bits.

first post

Even though it's three weeks into the course, I wrote this at the beginning. My thoughts about art. My definition of art is thoughts, emotions, and dreams all splattered onto a piece of paper. I believe its a way people express themselves with colors and different patterns and dimensions. I feel that my question is legitimate because, it expresses peoples feelings, thoughts, dreams, and emotions all on one piece of paper, which they call "art". The three materials and techniques I have never used are clay, mod pudge, and print making. I am not quite sure what my strengths such as work skills, interest, and my abilities are as an artist because, I haven't been in an art course for about three or four years. I only remember one assignment I did and it was a sketch of a donut turning into Homer Simpson. I found it quite neat and I thought it was the greatest sketch I've ever done. Although there is one thing I find difficult to do in school, which is to stay focused. Teachers and due dates make me feel nervous, people make me mad and I wish I was somewhere else. Anywhere but, here.
