Cubism 24/11/10 + Evaluation

In the last lesson I general continued what I had done in the previous lesson. I continued to draw the shading and I think it looks alright. I then started to collage some red pieces of paper onto the picture and one of these create a big empty space, something which I was not happy with. I think decided I could try to fade this out, but when this didn't work either I decided to experiment with the picture. In the end I cut out whole pieces of my picture and pasted what was left on another piece of A3 paper. I am happy I did this, as it looked better afterwards. The only negative aspect with this was that I used allot of time and now I have to do some art homework.

 Here is a picture of how my final analytic drawing looks.

Overall I am happy with the picture as I think it is quite original if you think about the cutting, and I also like the relationship between the different colors. Like the Picasso's 'Bread and fruit dish on a table' I talked about further down the blog, they both are analytical about objects that are for everyday use. Both of the drawings have clear contours, even though my drawing is a little less controlled and I  have much more empty space in in the background. This creates a different feeling about the picture. I also have used allot less colors, and this also take the two pictures quite long apart. Another difference between the two pictures is that my picture focuses allot more on the change in the direction of how the objects are drawn, while Picasso's has used drawn the picture at different angles.

People agreed with what I said above and they said the picture was quite dull. I agree with this and thought this was the major problem and I would like to change this for next time by having multiple colors.

Cubism 10/11/11

During this lesson we learnt continued with our drawing. Firstly, I finished with the carbon copy and then started to use colage on the picture. Nearer the end of the lesson I also started to chalk the picture. The picture look a little wierd, but this is also largely due to the fact of it not being finished.

One aspect that is not like the picture I analyzed earlier in the blogg was that it didn't have colage. This makes the style of the picture quite different from eachother. A similarity on the other hand is that both the paintings are analytical.

 Here is a picture of what i had done in the double lesson. This picture was taken just after I had started on it on the next lesson, so a few of the aspects on this picture weren't here. I think it looks alright. PS: The aspects that I changes in begging of the next lesson were front parts of the guitar (the string)

Cubism 3/11/10

During the lesson, we started the lesson by drawing a cubist drawing with multiple viewpoints and angles. We then chose our picture of which we were going to draw. This was also the start of our first asignment (objective 3 - to draw an analytical cubist artwork). The first thing we did here was to choose our drawing we were going to use. I chose the following drawing, due to it being very clear and having clear and precise contours.

 In order to copy the picture onto another piece of paper we had to use a method called carbon coppy. This is a method where you fill the backside of the drawing with pencil. You then place the drawing (with carbon on the backside (the pencil drawing was in this case the carbon)) onto another piece of paper. You then re-draw the coutnrours on the original paper creating an accurate copy of the original paper. On the following web-page there is more about carbon coppying and its origins: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_paper. This was all of what I had time to do during these two lessons. I am liking what I am seeing so far, but I hope my drawing will not become to simplistic and drag my grades down.
