Chalk Drawings

For this assignment the students in both AP and Honors art were asked to group up and work together on a famous art piece. My partners and I decided to work on a zoomed in version if Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam" with pastels and chalk. We first gridded out the piece and sketched in the contour using white. Each class day we worked on blending and adding detail until the piece was finished. You can see value, texture, and movement through this piece. 

Zoo

Just as last year, the San Francisco Zoo came to present animals for the NAHS for a day. This year they chose to bring a hedgehog, an armadillo, and a ball python. You can clearly see texture, movement, and color.

The Artist Trading cards have become one of my favorite projects because it allows me to incorporate my photography. This year I changed things up by incorporating a song on the back of each one which I thought would pair up well. Through apps such as Photoshop Effects, Color Splash, and Photoforge2, I created this collection showing large aspects of nature, color, pattern, movement, and unity.
