Art Project #1 is Done!!

Guys, guess what? I officially finished my first art project! Chris Paul's face is finished and his cheeks are no longer chubby an full of steroids. The shading problem still remains, but for the most part is under control.

What are the Consequences of Technology?

Technology is something that many of us take for granted. We are living in the 21st century. This century is a very interesting time for technology, simply because there is so much of it. There are around 3 billion interent users worldwide. But what do you think would happen if we went back to the times of medieval England when the latest and greatest technology was Gutenberg's printing press? What do you think are the consequences of technology? In order to answer this question, in this essay we will be looking at three things: How has technology affected the battle front? How has technology affected politics? How has technology affected learning? Using these three examples, we will be able to get a big picture look at it's consequences.

For my first art project, I took a black and white photo of Chris Paul. I cut the photo in half, keeping half of the original photo and completing the photo by hand. The most difficult part of the drawing was the shading. This is, I presume is because in black and white there is a fine line between what needs to be shaded and what need to be left dark.

The main thing I have left to do is make Paul's cheek less chubby.

Chinese Sundial

When we wrote the sundial, we learned that in China has only twelve units of time (all of which are two hours long.) So when we finally wrote our dial, we only had to do twelve different units to portray the whole day. Also, when the sunlight changes, the stick reflects on the different times.

My Subtractive and Additive Drawings!!

Here is my subtractive drawing:

file:///Users/student/Desktop/Photo%20on%2010-29-13%20at%208.49%20AM%20%233.jpg



This drawing was very difficult because I had to erase the parts of the drawing that had the least amount of light.


Here is my additive drawing:

This drawing was easier, but I am naturally a terrible drawer, so that didn't help!!

If I had to choose one or the other, I would probably choose the additive drawing because it gives you a better command of the image.
Subtractive is a very different way of drawing and it tends to do better with shading. Both ways are good, and both ways offer pros and cons.
