​The Art Gallery displays  the different pieces of art I have created over the past ten weeks.  The first assignment I completed was the ceiling tile. I chose to paint a replica of the Andy Warhol painting which was used as the album cover for the Velvet Underground and Nico. My choosing this piece of art in particular was to pay tribute to my love for the album.  The drawing of choice was a very spontaneous creation.  At the time I had a huge sheet of paper and no idea of where to begin.  Instead of agonizing over what to draw I decided to sketch whatever came to mind.  At the moment I drew an eye, however I began developing inspiration for my drawing from the features of the human face that I find beautiful and the idea progressed from there.   Utilizing different techniques of shading made the drawing of choice very fun for me.   Upon creating the pumpkin I decided I wanted to construct it from paper.  I soon discovered that the best way to create a pumpkin from construction paper was to cut the paper into strips and connect the ends of the strips to make loops.  The last assignment of the quarter, the self portrait, was quite challenging.  After taking a picture of myself to use as a model, determining the scale of features was difficult.  Though my end product was not true to my actual self, I learned the importance of drawing features correctly to scale, and the errors that can occur when you are not aware of this factor.

​This time last year, I would not be able to do the things that I can do now in art. When I first received our assignment, I knew that I would be able to really show my true colors. I remembered last year being that I had to do tasks, but this year, I feel that I can do what I feel speaks to me the most. 
With the ceiling tile, I thought that this would be hard, going off that this was a large piece of board and I would have too much space to work with, but I came to an epiphany that as long as you knew that you tried your best and put your creative minds on, then space was not an issue. This happened with a lot of my artwork. About how I thought that a lot of space symbolized not enough work or energy. This was incorrect. 
I loved the pieces that Hull chose for us, because it showed dynamic in the amount of creativeness we had. We could do something that involved cutting or we could do something that involved painting. All together, you would be able to show how much you grew as an artist. I know with me, I was able to see how I could do different areas of art, as where last year, I wasn`t to good in certain sections.

For my ceiling tile I wanted to draw something that gave me a feeling of peace, thats why I chose to paint a sunflower. I think sunflowers are one of the most incredible flowers. They have so many unique qualities like growing towards the sun, and being made up of tiny flowers. When I look at a sunflower I get that warm fuzzy feeling inside and I feel at peace. 

For my drawing I made several different pieces instead of one big one. What inspired my art was my grandmother. My grandma loved to doodle and so when creating my art I didn’t make it have a common theme, instead I decided to doodle.

For my pumpkin I drew a scary looking tree. I drew a tree because my family has a tradition: we watch scary movies until halloween arrives. In every movie that we have watched there is always an ominous looking tree and thats what inspired me to draw a tree. 

I’m not very proud of my self portrait, I’ve never been able to draw people but I worked hard on it and I feel good about that. I modeled this drawing on a photo I took last year. 

Q1 Art Portfolio

Posted by Gabrielle Cromley in Advanced Art - Hull - a2 on

My overall goal for each piece of artwork was to express a different part of myself to who ever views it. I wanted to portray small snapshots of my personality and dreams.

My first two pieces of art were the sketch for the ceiling tile and the final ceiling tile. Though my design for the ceiling tile changed from my sketch, the ideas and feeling in each piece are similar. The sketch depicts various treble clefs in a circle which represents the variety of music in the world and how they all relate and bring people together. The ceiling tile shows one large treble clef with various designs that to me represent the creativity and individuality that people achieve through music and the tree in the design symbolizes the liveliness and joy that it brings to people who need it.​ As for the

For my drawing, I sketched a woman and a man in an hourglass. For me, this symbolizes how important it is to have some sort of companion throughout your lifetime whether that be a partner, friend, or family member. This is an important subject to me, because one of my biggest fears is being alone or unloved. In this piece, I also tried use shading to the best of my knowledge and ability.

As for my bats, I used black, purple, and orange construction paper to make the bats. For each bat, I drew and cut out a large and small one. I tried to make the smaller ones about half the size of the larger bats. After I cut them out, I glued the smaller bats onto the larger bats in 4 different color patterns. I wanted to add color to this piece, because I noticed that my portfolio was very grey. This symbolizes my personality in the way that I seem quiet and maybe boring to most of my peers but when I become close to people they see my weird, fun, and outgoing side of myself that most people don't see

Lastly, for my self-portrait I drew a picture of myself from when I was in about 5th grade using pencil and charcoal. I chose to draw a picture of myself when I was younger to show people the importance of keeping child-like spirit and excitement through their lives. Without their inner kid, people would all be boring, strict adults because people forget to loosen up and live a little when they get caught up in the stress of daily life.

I’m in 11th grade and in the class of art. I love working on art pieces even though I’m not good at drawing. This quarter I did about 4 major projects. The first one was the ceiling tile which I drawled the NBA logo. Then, I did the three batmans. After that I did my free drawing. For my free drawing I drew a traffic light. Lastly, I did my self portrait. It took a little bit of extra time and and hard work but I think I did a great job on all of these 4 major projects in art class. I will people to know that I’m not a good drawer but I’m a hard and successful student. I don’t like negative attitudes so in all my drawing I want the people to be viewing my stuff to feel good and positive about they self.

For my self portrait, I decided to make a cartoon like picture of me. It was hard deciding how to actually make him look tho. I wanted it to be as close to be as close to me but creative as possible.

My ceiling tile may be my favorite piece of work. We took a lot of time to paint the picture, and I think that it came out really well. It turned out to be better than I expected.

For my free drawling. I wanted to do something that was slightly challenging. I decided to try and draw my favorite basketball player (Paul George). I like that this piece is full of bright colors. 

The last piece is the thank you card for Whole Foods. We visited the store in Environmental Science and had a great time. We took pictures while we were there, and these were perfect to add to the card to remember the event.

For my ceiling tile I wanted to start with something simple, but still meant a lot to me. I chose the crown chakra because it's the chakra that I find the most complex and interesting, and also what I connect with the most. Meditating has been something very important to me for awhile, and I'm happy that I'm able to have the connection to the universe and symbol for a larger scheme of life in SLA.

For my drawing, I actually made several smaller drawings. I am a dancer, and love the way that dancers can manipulate their bodies to do seemingly impossible movements. I drew inspiration from Misty Copeland, the first black principle dancer with the American Ballet Theater. Instead of drawing these dancers with hair, facial features, and clothing, I wanted to focus all attention on the body positioning. I didn't want anything to distract from the base of what dance is. 

I'm a huge lover of Alice and Wonderland, especially the Cheshire Cat. I definitely wanted to go to Wonderland as a child. (maybe I still do) I was very disappointed that my pumpkin was ruined before I could get a photo of it, because it was very fun and mystical with a candle inside. Unfortunately, the pumpkin was rotten, and was composted without my knowledge.

I tried to model my self portrait after a photo of myself from two years ago. I had a little bit of trouble with the shading, and making it look how I wanted it. I try not to get discouraged, I'm still learning, and I'm very proud of the self portrait I did create. 

Logan Smith~Art~ Quarter 1

Posted by Logan Smith in Advanced Art - Hull - a2 on

As an artist I created all my art based off of the things that I like, which range from music to my favorite cartoon characters. My art shows a piece of my personality, I am very child like but I also like the older of things life such as boomboxes and tapes.  I tried to incorporate myself in all of the art so that it would have a personally and passionate aspect to the art. Much of my artwork was inspired by things I would see and think of through my everyday life.​

My art used two mediums paint and colored pencils to add more life and creativity to the art. I would like to expand my mediums even though these two mediums are my favorite. I love art I think it is beautiful what a person can create and what that can mean to them. Even when something is perfect it is your creation that can be something beautiful and that's what I learned in the first quarter.


Zack Hersh — Quarter 1 Art

Posted by Zack Hersh in Advanced Art - Hull - a2 on

My inspiration for art is very random — I can't really track what I'm inspired by and interested in capturing in a piece of art. The pieces I created this quarter in art class all have different stories. 

For the ceiling tile, I knew I wanted to capture something material or pop-culture related that is a large part of my life. After experimenting with several designs, such as different band names or album covers, the logo of Scrubs, my favorite TV show, felt right — it was simple, and captured me.

The drawing of choice began with a doodle — I didn't know right away what I would choose, and I just wanted to see what would come out. A maze unfolded across the paper, so my drawing of choice ended up being two pencil on paper mazes. I often find myself doodling others during other classes.

I found myself very intrigued by construction paper and collaging elements, and my remaining three pieces all explored that medium. For the pumpkin, I had a vision of a 3D pumpkin that I wanted to create, using my interest in sculpting and basic knowledge of geometry. The bats were not as easy to picture in 3D, so they became more traditional silhouettes, but when that didn't feel like enough, I added them to a dusk sky with a full moon over a skyline, not caring about perspective.

The last piece, the self portrait, is probably my favorite piece I did this quarter. It is a merging of all the projects and the elements I began to notice I was attracted to and inspired by: collating, simplicity in the solid colors and lack of detail, and identity capturing. I like how it both does and doesn't look like me and reflect me, and how there are so many more details I could've included. In this piece I see all the pieces that led up to it, and that is why it is my favorite. 

Caitlin's Q1 Art

Posted by Caitlin Keough in Advanced Art - Hull - a2 on

The style of art that I like to do is very much inspired by my favorite things. This includes music, books, and people who's art I really admire. I just enjoy recreating things that I see everyday in different artistic ways. Two of my favorite mediums to work with are painting and oil pastels.
My ceiling tile is a painting of an album cover by one of my favorite bands, My Chemical Romance. My choice painting/drawings are a painting of another one of my favorite band's logo and a drawing of my favorite musician/author/artist. My jackolantern design is an oil pastel drawing of a character from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Lastly, there is a simple self portrait.
