Final Group Project

Directions: http://boardgames.about.com/cs/checkersdraughts/ht/play_checkers.htm
Inspiration 

Halfway

Finished

The pattern of the board is yellow and black squares which have repetition. The variety is the pieces are different but the harmony is all the squares are the same size. There is horizontal and vertical balance with the black and yellow squares. The cars and video game controllers aren't in real proportion because video controllers and cars aren't the same six in real life.Everything in our game is equal because nothing really stands out.My eyes move all over the place in this game because it's abstract and simple.

Daily Object Sketch:Day 29 (12-15-14)


Who am I? Final Project

  I am African American. My parents know that I'm African American, but aren't sure about anything else. I know we all come from Adam and Eve and had to go through many different generations and cultures. However, as time goes on, we usually have one distinct ethnicity that stands out in us. For me, that is African American. 
  I made this artwork because I was inspired by a modern photo to add some heritage and meaning to it. In my life this art symbolizes that we all have different ethnicities within us even if we don't know it. It is a very simple art piece it it has a lot of meaning. All of the colors the girl and the word history is made up of symbolizes all of the cultures she's made up of. 
  I used simulated texture by the way I drew the girls hair.Also in the girls hair I used hatching to create value. I used tetradic and complementary colors because they blend really well together and those were the main pastels I had to work with. Form was used with the variety of colors and the balance is horizontal. It is two dimensional and the white space around the girl and words is negative space. The girl and words are positive space. I didn't use the element of line.

Favorite Art Journal Entries


I like this art journal entry because the shadow came out really cool.

I like this art journal entry because I found a lot of good related words to leopard in magazines like night prowler and mighty jaws.

I didn't like the art journals because sometimes it was hard to come up with enought words to write. Also, it was hard to sketch enough to fill up most of the page sometimes. However, it was fun skecthing to the different and interesting topics.

Favorite Daily Object Sketches


I like this sketch because the basketball is made up of tiny balls and it looks cool.

I like this sketch because it has color and it's my basketball jersey.

I like this sketch because it's sharp and creepy. 

I like this sketch because I could never draw a horse, but in this the horse looks ok.

This is my most favorite sketch because it was the first game our team has win this year! 

 Likes doing the daily object sketches because I never thought could do so much with just a basketball. I suprised myself with all of the things I came up with. Also, it only took a few minutes to do and turn in.
