Artists Create Original Art
I started our new project with my sketch of a confident ballerina on the outside, but there is a gaping hole in the wall of the room showing her true self. I made her a dancer because for me when I am dancing I am the most confident that I can be. I also used my sisters drawing of her fears to create her true insides. I looked at the fears my sister drew and based the dancers inside on that.
Artists Develop Art Making Skills
I learned new ways of using colored pencils and ways to blend them by using the white. I used this new skill to color the outside of my drawing, but I stuck to my old ways for the inside to show a type of subtle contrast.
Artists Solve Problems
When coloring the inside of my 'hole' I used colors that didn't have enough contrast to show the different objects in the drawing. My people were blending into the artwork. I am going to learn how to add a type of contrast so that you can see all my different values easily.
