Pedro: Q3 Art Blog
Quarter three of art this year was definitely a journey. There were ups and downs in and out of art, for me at least. Third quarter being the longest and most stressful made sitting down and taking the time to draw very difficult for us. But at the end of the day, everyone pulled through. This quarter, like the past two began with some art history. We answered a couple questions based on a text that we read and then we moved on to a lesson about abstract art. I created the head of a pharaoh made out of diamonds and triangles. I thought this would be a different and more urban take on abstract art. Next we moved on to advanced coloring. I drew a main character from one of the best selling fighting game franchises to date: Tekken. Once I got the sketch of him down, I decided to not use many colors. I brung out his gloves and his left eye because those are the features that stand out about him the most. The next drawing of the quarter was another self portrait. While I went for a more realistic drawing this time, I tried to focus more on the clothes that was on me. I scratched out features of my face because I wanted people to focus on the picture as a whole. After this we learned about value and the black and white gradient. We were asked to create a drawing of something with round ends so that we can give it a 3D look using value. I chose to draw a ball and I made the light come from the top right corner. The next assignment was about basic shapes. This was the hardest for me because I usually just hop right into a drawing. I decided to TRY and draw a teddy bear by drawing the shaped that made it before hand and then doing the same but adding detail. The final was animal shapes and I decided to draw my first dog, Kayto. He was named after the Green Hornet's sidekick, Kato. He was a beagle puppy. Unfortunately we had to give him away when we moved later that year.
Quarter 3 Advanced Art
This Quarter I wanted to concentrate on just my drawing skills and a little of shading. This was a little out of my comfort zone, which is good. I got to draw animals and a self portrait, which were the hardest things for me to draw. Hope you enjoy!
Advanced Art Quarter Three
This portfolio is a collection of my artwork for this quarter and it represents my skill and hard work and effort through out this quarter as well as how I have grown as an artist over these past few quarters and most of this year. This quarters portfolio consists of several drawings that include coloring, finessing skills in shading and using basic shapes to draw complex figures, and as well as a self portrait. We also continued learning more about art history and different techniques that very famous, very important, and iconic artists used in their work.

Throughout this quarter, the art that I have been drawing I feel that my skills have been increasing throughtout every assignment. I've gotten better in mixing colors together. I feel as a student and as a young artist, feel that I am capable of creating a masterpiece just like every other artist that I have read and seen. My creativity has been getting better it has opened my mind into different things he has made me see things in a different way that I would have not seen before. I thought at once , that reading the history of the art was going to be boring and not very interesting to me , but sometimes it just takes time learning their every move the way they've got educated and what has inspired them to do what they did. I was once told nothing is easy and you've got to try hard to get there, this can be compared to an artist especially a young artist.
Q3 Art Work
This quarter was one of the tougher quarters for art this year. In it were about nine different assignments. Many required close attention and others research, and a few both. This quarter I believed I completed decent artwork, however I was not very sharp on getting everything in on time.
I completed a self portrait of myself which was one of the hard drawings to complete because it took more time. however it was easy to understand because I was just drawing myself. I have done self portraits in the past so it wasn't too hard.
Next, I completed a drawing of a bunny. I felt like, since my art skills are not very high, a bunny would be ideal for my skill set. I admit, I needed some online help to draw it, but it is original and I am proud of the overall outlook of this drawing.
Then, I completed a shading exercise in which I had to draw different shades, from lightest to darkest, in a row to show the different values of shading. This helps artists understand what to shade and what to not shade as well as what values to use. Then I used this knowledge to draw a drawing of a tea cup using the shading values, which I believe turned out fairly well.
Lastly, I finished a drawing of basic shapes in which I used shapes like circles, triangles, and squares to draw a robot. Robots are supposed to be basic shapes anyway, but in my second drawing I added a little flare. I drew some curves were edges were in the original picture and just made the robot look more real, and the shape drawing exercise helped.
In conclusion, this was a successful quarter for art for me and I hope to finish strong in the fourth quarter!
Quarter 3 Artwork
This quarter has been my favorite so far and I have enjoyed completing each assignment. I have learned a lot this quarter about the different components that go into making a realistic drawing such as value and basic shapes.
Adult coloring was very fun and relaxing. I had a lot of fun picking the colors I wanted to use. I tried to create variation in the shades. My favorite of the three was the coloring page with the sailboats. I enjoyed coloring in the water and the reflections in the water.
The self portrait was one of my favorite assignments of the quarter. Watercolor is my favorite medium so I enjoyed this project a lot. I didn’t try to make the portrait realistic. Instead I wanted the colors to all blend together and have a very simple face that was brightly colored. I used a lot of cool colors because I find those types of colors more visually appealing and soothing. I wanted my portrait to feel calm and serene.
The value assignment helped understand shadow and light a lot better. Before this assignment I hadn’t ever really thought about the shadows when I drew. This assignment helped me understand how important they are to creating lifelike and three dimensional drawings.
Basic shapes was probably the most educational and helpful of all the assignments this quarter. This assignment helped me understand shape and form better. Breaking up a complex form and turning it into simple shapes helped me understand perspective and complex shape a lot better. For this assignment I chose to draw a cat and I was better able to understand the biology and form of cats when I broke it up into the basic shapes.
Animal shapes was my favorite out of all of the assignments. I chose to draw a giraffe, which is my favorite animal. I tried to put a lot of detail in the giraffe’s spots and I am pretty pleased with the result. I didn’t add that much texture to the drawing and I didn’t add any color so if I redid it I would make sure to make the fur more visible and add color.

This quarter in art was like all of my others. I adventured through each assignment exploring my own artistic path. I have to say that I found coloring a lot of fun. Some of the assignments were a little complicated in what it asked for. I found myself doing 1 part of an assignment and later realizing that it wanted more. THe documents that we downloaded had very confusing directions. But all that aside it was a nice quarter.
Advanced coloring was one of my favorites. It was very relaxing and peaceful. Once I finished it I felt good about what I did. I focused on making my coloring even in shade of brightness. I also focused on making the coloring seem like one. My goal was to use one color for the base of the paper and then other colors for more minor parts in the picture to really make it pop.
The self portrait was an interesting experience. I did not focus on the sharpness of myself portrait. This time the focus was on how accurately it could look like me. I think I nailed it better than I ever had before. If my hair was a little sharper and some of my facial features were a little sharper I think this would be great.
Value was a fun one. It was not as easy as it looks to make this. I had to start in the middle to get a measurement of how hard I was pressing. If I started to dark to early I would ruin it. But in the end it turned out perfect.
Basic shapes was very easy. It also made a lot of sense. I found that things that I used to draw when I was younger came out looking great using basic shapes. The cat on the right is not really proportional but I wanted to give an attempt at the drawing in the document. THe vacuum cleaner on the other hand looks like a photograph. I think it is a step in the right direction.
Animal Shapes was the biggest struggle because as you saw in basic shapes my cat drawing was not so good. I decided to choose an easier animal. As animal with less complicated shapes. An owl was the perfect animal. It had enough shapes and turned out looking like an actual owl.
Overall this quarter I think I am making headway in my passive art career. I plan to continue putting effort into my art and hopefully grow. Next quarter I want to end strong and hopefully make something that I can show off.
Q3 Art Slideshow
Quarter 3 was a somewhat frustrating quarter for me in art. On one hand, this quarter contains some of my favorite art-work that I've ever done, maybe not as inherently "good" as some of my art in Q2, but still things that I consider creative and can be proud of. On the other hand, there are a couple of pieces of art this quarter that I'm really not very happy with, that are sloppy with their execution, and not really something I can say I want to present as a representation of myself.
This juxtaposition is mostly due to this quarter being the most emotional turbulent for me. That has drastically effected the quality of my art, and, for the first time, has made me miss assignment dates. In the midst of everything that's been going on in my life, my art has suffered and because of that become less passionate. I hope that this is something I can redeem in the final quarter.
In a quarter of ups and downs, I hope that the final product is at least something that can be considered good work. Despite the difficulties to getting motivated to create interesting art, I have tried to at least produce consumables. Things that can be looked at, observed, and maybe appreciated, and I think that's all anything can ask for their art.
Quarter #3 Artwork
This year's third quarter was different from last year’s third quarter. This quarter seemed more relaxing than usual. Some of the projects made me feel less stress from doing projects and any other school work. I was actually kind of glad to have that relaxation throughout the quarter. These are my projects from the third quarter.
Advanced Coloring: I had to pick out three pages to color. The reason why I think it is called advanced coloring because there is so many little details that need to be colored in. I picked those three designs because I like the designs and I wanted to be creative with them. This was probably my favorite project because I was to be creative and feel relaxed in general because I love to color in pictures just to keep my hands moving.
Self Portrait: Now from the first quarter I was able to draw myself again. This year was totally different because one I had longer hair, and two I’m wearing a hat in the photo. Personally I like this portrait better because I think I look better with longer hair. Now my hair got to freaking long so I had to cut it. Funny thing when this assigned to the class that was the week I cut my hair and as I think about it after drawing it I look so much better with short hair.
Value: Last year on this project I drew my cell phone. This year there was an orange sitting on the table. I pulled it over towards me and I decided to draw that. I liked what I did because it seems the orange looks a little realistic to me.
Basic Shapes: On this projects before I drew anything I wanted to draw I had to do a basic layout by drawing basic shapes. For this project I drew the cartoon character Brian Griffin from family guy and it looks pretty cool by drawing the basic shapes and I would like to do that more cartoon characters.
Animal Shapes: Now this project is very similar to the basic shapes project. I had to do a rough draft of the animal shapes then draw the actual animal shapes. I basically chose two random animals and they were a cat and a bunny.
In conclusion quarter three was a success and it was a very relaxing quarter and I cannot wait for my very last quarter of art class.

ARTIST STATEMENT:
When making my art for quarter three, my goal was to just have fun with the art. Through the past two quarters of art, I have had themes. But what makes art unique is its individuality. I took each art on as its own task, and what I made fit my feelings at the time. In my favorite task-Week 3- I chose to make three different drawings, one being a turtle, another being flowers, and the last being pots. It was very relaxing to draw these, because all I had to do was color in the lines. For week 4-5 I drew a self portrait, one that Is extremely interesting. I drew the self portrait with detail, so it looks a little bit to real, and as a result a little scary. For week 6-7 I drew windows logo because that was the first thing that came to mind when it came to value. This was an interesting lesson for me, and I find myself using value often when making art. For week 8-9 I drew a Calvin and Hobbes scene, which included basic shapes, and made the drawing intricate on a basic level. For the last week I drew the dog, and learned a valuable lesson with the shapes that you can draw anything with basic shapes.
