  Harlem Renaissance Sketch(Jacob Lawrence Tribute)


Harlem Renaissance Sketch(Update)

Final Artwork

 Medium: Newspaper, Acrylics, and Colored Pencils

The Black History Month Tribute/Harlem Renaissance piece is something worked tirelessly on. The mediums used include acrylics for the silhouette, colored pencils for the cutouts, and newspaper for the background. The hardest part was adding the background which required me to cut the newspaper in specific shapes to fit around the shapes. In general,  I wanted to make something different and it turned out better than i expected.

    I love the direction you're taking following the project description. It has really brought together a lot of the elements Mrs. Rojas has been asking for. Can not wait to see it colored and finished!

    I like the fact that it's more of an outline rather than a full piece with great big detail

Proportion Piece

Image
Anytime, Anyplace Medium: Graphite Pencil This artwork was made with the intent to improve my facial proportion skills. I drew my past, present , and future self using my mirror-image as reference. The biggest challenge for me would be the actual proportions because i don’t look like myself exactly and resemble. Otherwise, I had fun shading each version of myself and doing the different hair textures.

High Contrast Drawing

High Contrast Drawing Medium: Sharpie As a class, we were challenged to do a self portrait in Sharpie to focus on his contrast. The picture referenced had very little light, so the actual work’s lighting is intentional. We did use grid to transfer our proportions, but I’m not satisfied with how it turned out. An improvement would be the proportions and I would of done the background with ink instead of Sharpie to create a solid gradient.

This collection of work displays not only my skill set, but a crucial characteristic of mine as an artist with a strong work ethic. Before the semester started, my sole intention for taking this class was to build my basic skills and experience my first art class at the collegiate level in hopes of a revitalization after not taking art classes for a year. During the Fall 2022 Semester, I produced these in my journey to polish my basic skills in technical production of each composition while these assignments gave me to opportunity to experiment with mediums like charcoal and white charcoal. This class challenged me in numerous situations (more specifically, my self-portrait) to take liberties as an artist and apply the relevant teachings of Professor Nuni Lee. I’ve done art all of my life
