It was just recently that I have decided to change my theme from the organic shapes and move to geometric patterns. Through this theme I will use mostly straight lines but occasionally will add several curved ones. Throughout this semester i plan to have all my pieces be very dramatic through eiter value or complementary colors. By doing so all of my pieces will have the sense of depth, overlaping as well as a strong sense of
My theme for this semester is inspired by Mondrian and his use of contemporary geometric shapes. I have choosen to keep my art this semester focused on this style simply because this style of art is nothing like I have ever done before and I also like the idea of creating depth, space and movement through few, simple clean cut lines.
I have alrready begun work on m first two pieces. The first painting is going to be simple rectangular lines and I will use complementary colors ( blue, and orange) to create a sense of depth and perspective. I plan to also use a whitewash color in a pale yellow. I choose this color because the yellow is related to the orange and I feel is will add a little more contrast and depth. My second painting consists of triangular arrows from te bottoom right hand corner and ill branch out across the canvas. The colos being used in this piece are various shades of blues, purples and some green will be applied toward the upper left hand corner. To create contrast throughout this piece I will have the arrows be at various withs that grow as they reach the opposite corner. Today I begn my final draft for this charchol drawing I have called "Walking Away". This was my first time ever working with charcol. I have found that charcol has a much more smooth and soft texture that allowed my to make long, smooth lines with one stroke and ease. So far I have just the rough sketch outline and by monday I hope to beging adding some shadow and and shade the background with value.
This new perspective pose shows only my feet/ shoes and the back of my legs. This is my first rough sketch of this new pose. I feel this is quite a good pose to choose for this project because it shoes my left shoe as being really close up and my right leg as being shorter and smaller. I choose this pose because of the fact it wasnt a whole body shot and its an unsusual perspective. I found this first sketch to be not too difficult to capture. I feel my proportions and stature to be well represented. 
 This is one of my first earltt attempts to draw myself in an abstracted off angle. I feel that this rough draft is a poor representation of the actual photo. The angles are all off as well as the proportionas are totally askew. My head is too large for the rest of my body, it is as big as my hip. When in reality for this assignment, my face needs to be barel visible and quite miniscure. Also the my shoe is something i will really need to work on, it just doesnt appear right to the eye. Overall, I believe this to be a decent primary attempt. Also when I was drawing this i tried a new drawing technique for the first time. I was standing up and looking at my picture upsidedown. This was something I had never personally tried before but I fell it helped to teach me the importance of making long pencil marks with your arm, and not short stubby, scratchy marks with my wrist.
 This drawing was the first application of all the little skills being applied to draw a room in two point perspective. In this drawing there is an introverted corner, a door, whiteboard, and cabinets over the sinks and counter with more fileing cabinets below. This drawing took about one week to finish. It was very slow going and i wanted to be very precise with my measurements to make sure every object seen was in its proper proportion and also that each line was parallel and matched up to both my vanishing points.
 This was my very first attempt at drawing in two point perspective. It took me a while to perfect my skills and i found myself constantly haveing to remind myself that i needed to match uo each line to my two vanishingpoints. To draw this one simple sqyare in this foreign perspective took me a good twenty minuts to complete. I would either not match up my lines correctly or something just wouldnt look right and precise.
