Hand Drawing


1. What was it like using your hand as subject matter for a drawing?
It was very interesting to use my hand as the subject matter for this drawing. I was not sure if my drawing would end up looking like my hands but it was fun to add the small details of my fingers to the drawings.
2. What media did you select - pencil or charcoal? Why?
I chose to use a pencil just because it would be less messier than using charcoal. 
3. How did it feel to create a drawing with your non-dominant hand?
It was weird to use my dominant hand, it began to bother me just because it took longer than it did when using my dominant hand, but it was interesting to see the outcome and how it did not came out as bad as I predicted it to come out. 
4. Compare and contrast your final drawings. Do you think they are successful studies?
I think my final drawings are successful. I had predicted them to come out not looking like my hands but I feel like they look very much just like hands to me. 
5. Would you consider using your non-dominant hand to create artwork in the future?
 I would not consider using my non-dominant hand to create artwork in the future just because I feel like it is too time consuming, and it does not allow for representation of good detail in the artwork.

Modules 7's video reviews

In the prairie school clip, one of the key concepts that I learned was about architecture becoming a style. This was something that became natural to society, and this is what made it a style. In the second video architecture as art it was described that architecture was something that becomes a language that flourishes more and more as time goes on. This means that it becomes something that is used in the everyday life. The videos relate to the readings in the text because in the text the history of architecture and how the structures of buildings, and designing came about. In my opinions I think these films were very informative and they were able to explain to viewers more in-depth about architecture, and the background behind it. I loved it because construction interests me so I love learning more about those things. I chose the films that I watched by random selection. I didn’t know what exactly they would be about but I am glad I picked the ones that I did because t...

Module 4

My thoughts on creating a Value Scale are that I thought this project was creative, and cool. Before this class if someone were to ask me what a Value Scale was I would not be able to describe what that was. Now that I have created one I am able to explain the purpose of one, and what it can be used for. While creating the Color Wheel I was a bit challenged at first because I wasn't sure if I would make the colors correctly like it was shown in the video. After I had noticed that I did it correct, and it became fun to watch the colors blend together, and produce other colors.  The media that I enjoyed working with the most was the color wheel. This is because it was more hands on involving the paint, and brushes. I like working with paint, and painting things and although we were not instructed to paint a object or create a picture with it, it was still fun to put the colors together, and see what can be created from that.  In my opinion an important discovery that I ha...

 Color has many different effects on emotions. These colors have unpredictable effects on our emotions, but with that being said many artists may use vibrant colors to display an effect of happiness, they may also use dark colors to be more dramatic during sad emotions. The theoretical aspects of color that fascinates me the most are the different properties of color. Meaning the different primary colors and the things that are associated with them that put them in the category of primary colors.  Red, yellow, and blue are categorized as primary colors because they are not able to be made by mixing any other colors together.  I n the videos the biggest impact on me what that we associate different colors with feelings, or places, and memories. These colors could take us back to a certain time in our lives, and we connect these colors with those things.  Sideshow-  http://s1378.photobucket.com/user/zavsteph/slideshow/Art%20project-Elements%20of%20art  ...
