NEGATIVE SPACE DRAWINGS
BEGINNING 2-D ART
india ink, felt markers & watercolor accents, silk flower & plant props
These are always a favorite assignment of the Beginners.
They take great pride in the outcome,
oftentimes getting their parents to frame them up.
And each year they seem to get more and more remarkable.
Like this creation by junior Esther Ahn.
What a complex, beautifully crafted and designed piece this is.
She planned this out before she began after lots of research into past pieces she viewed on the blog.
I use the blog as homework for whenever I start a new project with the kids.
They must access it at home and pull up the project
and look thru all the others that have been done from years past for inspiration.
Of course they may not copy anyone else's work.
Here is a close up below of the intricate pen work Esther put into the text..
This next one was made by junior Manishka Ranjit.
She designs with this woman's silhouette in a lot of her artwork,
along with putting different hats on her,
flowers surrounding and running thru her and shades of lavender to color areas in with.
It worked out perfectly for this assignment.
Check out the tiny marking pen details below.
And lastly we have senior Jessica Mones.
Love how she has drawn the plant thru the ship and bird.
It feels really magical like I am in a Peter Pan adventure.
I miss you Jessica.
Hope you are continuing to do more in the art world.
These are all so incredibly, finely detailed ... and once again, I bring my own limited experience to the table and find myself awed by the time and effort that went into each.
ReplyDeleteBut what I loved most of all, was the "Aha!" moment of seeing the globe in the close-up of Manishka's other-worldly vision.
Manishka is going to love your comment, thanks Liz!
