Artists Style Project

For the artists style project I was assigned Salvador Dali, a surrealist painter and sculptor. A few of his works had objects melting and trees. I took this idea of his work and applied into my painting. I learned that all his paintings usually had a deep meaning behind them so my painting included something that means alot to me. That thing was marching band, so I took a melting sousaphone(tuba) and had it hang from a tree. The deeper meaning is that band wont last forever but it's not over yet, it's melting away but not entirely.

Perspective Project

For the perspective project I chose to do a drawing of a castle, not a specific castle, just a castle. The castle is made up of a stone-like color/material and includes a wooden drawbridge and a keep in the background. During this project i used familiar tool such as pencil, colored pencil, and rulers. By using familiar tools I have gained more experience with them and learned how to and not to use them.

First Sketch -
In the first sketch I didn't have a background building, road, or grass. My ideas kept coming so I added more to the final and it turned out better.

Final -
In the final as I said, I added much more including banners, grass, dirt road, background building, and shading under the bridge. I also removed the gate and moat to make it feel more open.
