1. Describe the subject matter and meaning of your artwork. - The subject of my project is jellyfish. Jellyfish have been a longstanding favourite animal of mine. My room is ocean themed and I have done many water inspired pieces. These 2 jellyfish represent a more in detail version of some obscure jellyfish I have in another piece. 2. How did you use textures to enhance your picture? - I used several different textures in my final,from stippling to cross hatching to just regular highlights. The one I am most proud of is the stippling, because that was not my initial intention. Only when I started the final did I realize that I could stipple on scratchboard. 3. How did you balance your artwork and create a well-organized composition? - I believe the two jellyfish (Checkers and No Name) balance each other in movement. They both are shaped differently and have good connection between each other. The bubbles and rays offset the sides. 4. How did you imply movement in your drawing? - I tried to have movement not only in the jellyfish themselves but between them. I believe you start by looking at the main jellyfish(Checkers) and work up through the secondary jelly(No Name) towards the sun rays, and then the sun rays bring you back down into the bubbles, which lead you back around to the Checkers. 5. How could you improve your artwork? - Well the first thing I would do all over again if I could would be to not do the sunrays so intense. It came out a lot stronger than I anticipated when I was trying to cover up a mistake and frankly I don't like it. 6. How did you demonstrate a wide range of shading values? - I used stippling on Checkers to show where the light hits him, and then I used cross hatching and some stippling on No Name. On the bubbles I just scratch where the light hit, and on the opposite side, showing transparency. Overall this is a super fun project and 10/10 would try again. |
