Final Project

-
Kendrick Essence
Medium:Graphite Pencils
I am pleased to claim this as my final project. It utilizes many things I've learned such as proportion, value, and perspective which has paid off. The final piece was made to closely resemble a photo taken which also required me to create various textures-this challenged me. Overall, this project took a lot out of me I didn't know I had & I'm very proud of the outcome. 

To explain this piece, I wanted to portrait Kendrick Lamar in a different light/side than what he's given in the media. It paints him as a compassionate rapper with real common issues.

Otherwise, I had fun shading each version of myself and doing the different hair textures.

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
