Hi,

Here is a photo from my other class - Introdustion to the visual art. I'm sorry for the quality of photo but it was taken by phone. We were learning about colors, so our job was to think of 3 personal symbols, and only 4 colors, and then paint it on canvas and see how the color are reacting together. Mine work is on the middle. It was fun. On Thursday I will try to show You onother photo, because project- Propaganda Poster is due.

Have a nice day!

Brown Line

Artwork that I created.

This painting is mine. I mean, I painted it, and even when I’m writing it I feel weird. I had never painted before. I don’t know how to draw. And all of a sudden I choose Introduction to the Visual Art as a one of my classes. I thought that we would read about lines or stuff like this and we are drawing, painting, doing everything what I thought that I can’t. After my assignment with this portrait I believed that everybody can be an artist.
The assignment was to paint on big board self-portrait by acrylic black and white paint. The teacher took picture of my head (look above) and then we had to make a grid. Same amount of squares we made on out photo. And fun had started. One by one we had to copy the values of gray on our board. We couldn’t just copy exactly how it is; we had to make different shapes, as many as possible. I was painting it around 12 hours. And I like it. I know that is not perfect, but is mine.
The technique was by Chuck Close. I saw many people buying a postcard “Alex” 1991, Chuck Close in the Art Institute. Here is a link to his page when You can some of see his works http://www.chuckclose.coe.uh.edu/life/gallery.html .

The picture with color painting of a child is by Chuck Close- Emma.
