Abstract

Picture
   This drawing was made with the purpose of creating an abstract image, through drawing different lines which would create different figures. It is painted in a paper cardboard with different materials such as color markers, color pencils and a black permanent marker. First different types of lines where drew from side to side on the paper. These lines started forming independent figures. Each figured was painted with different colors and techniques. Techniques such as pointillism, Cross-Hatching and Gradation where used to improve the quality of the work. To create this image was possible by using these materials and techniques. 

    It was relatively simple to create this project; however knowledge on the different painting and shading techniques was needed for achieving the goal of creating an abstract image made of different geometric figures. Those techniques were necessary to create a good work which would form the painting that I was expecting. I think the result of this project was a good product, because I followed the requirements to achieve the goal.




Symbolism Map

Picture
     This project was very interesting to create, because it involved the need to use our imagination for expressing different aspects of our life. Therefore the goal of this project was to use by creating a art production the concept of symbolism. On the project it was required to create symbols of aspects of our lives such as happy memories, what we enjoy, and our family among others. The materials that were used were an A3 size cardboard, watercolors and color markers. To use correctly the watercolors it was necessary to understand the techniques such as, wet on dry, wet on wet, water drops among others. This project was very remarkable as well as challenging to produce.

I consider that I did a good work on the Symbolism Map. I included all the symbols that where necessary and made it easy for the people who see the project, the meanings of the symbols. I also improved my work from the rough draft to the final product. I think a weakness that I had was to use the watercolors according the techniques. Probalby the final product could have been better if I applied the techniques correctly. This project was a very well opportunity for applying the concepts learn in class.



    


Collage

Picture
    This collage has a similar purpose as the Symbolism Map. It resumes some aspects about me. It has different pictures that represent those aspects. For example, the one at the top right corner represents how much I like Europe. Also the pictures of the Godfather and Stanley Kubrick´s Barry Lyndon reflects how much enjoy watching excellent quality motion pictures. I made it on my sketchbook using, printed photos as well as, color pencils and markers. I enjoyed creating this collage because I could express through pictures different aspects of my life.

    I think I did a very good work on this collage. It achieved the goal of expressing aspects of my life through pictures. I think the project entertains the spectators because it has being correctly done. Perhaps I could have added more pictures, for making it more attractive. In conclusion I am satisfied with my work on this collage.
