Art History - Visual Analysis Final Draft

I have truly enjoyed my Art History Class. What I thought would be boring and monotenous has turned out to be really intriguing and enlightening.

Our Teacher, Henry Altmann, has a great way of continually repeating information so that we retain it without making it obvious that he's doing it. He also is extremely talented at entertwining a piece of artwork with a clever story or anecdote in order to give us a more entertaining relation to the time period or artist.

I've learned quite a significant amount about how connected art is to its environment during different time periods, as well as the artists purpose and subjects due to these circumstances.

I also feel I have a better understanding of how it relates to the present day because of this.

Here is a jpg of my Visual Analysis Comparison - Final Draft.

The pages should enlarge if you click on them.

There is more info on the artists I chose in my previous post if you want more info.

The paper generally covers the 3 artist's history, influences, style, medium, subject, criticism and personal opinion.

Henry allowed me to chose the subject & artists so this was especially rewarding and interesting to me.

Check it out and would love to hear what you think!

Drawing Class Update- 6 More Drawings

Here are 6 more completed drawings from my Drawing Intensive Class.
Our teacher Joanie Ryan has us using several different mediums to gain some confidence while we experiment with them. All are monocromatic to allow us to see light, medium and darks in depicting light and shadow. It's tougher than you might think!

We've used:
Charcoal
Charcoal on Toned (colored) Paper
Ball Point Pen with Abstract Line
Acrylic Paint
Water & Ink

I also included a reworked Charcoal Drawing I did for extra credit... you'll see it on a previous post, but this one has darker shadows in the background. I think it helps bring the other objects to the front in perspective.

Some of these techniques I am more comfortable with than others.

Also, some of these techniques work better with my style than others

but it's definitely been very fun to try them all.
