Still Life

Here is my still life. It is of olive oil bottles and tomatos. I decided to do it in ink. I have only worked with ink once of twice, and I thought it would be fun to experiment with.

Finished

I couple of weeks ago I posted the beginning of this. Well, here it is finished. It is mixed media (marker, pen, paint, paper, & sharpie). I would love to hear some feedback, and everything is looking good! Can't wait to see everyones work!

Beginning of Self Portrait

This is the beginning of my self portrait. It is water color, but I am only using black and white. I still have a bit of work to do, but it is coming along. I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion on what I could do for the backround? The rest on our on the way to be posted!

Thanks! :)

The End is in Sight

We still have a bit of time, but summer  is quickly coming to an end.
It was not a requirement to post on this site this summer, but it IS a requirement to do your summer assigments.
I will be expecting to see 5 completed peices from everyone.
Please bring them with you the first day of actual classes. We will be looking at what everyone has accomplished and and doing some critiquing and some discussion.

Additionally, please be aware that in late September or early October you will be attending a Portfolio Day review with a body of your work. This review takes place here in Cincinnati at the Art Academy, downtown. The purpose is to give you an opportunity to have your work seen by college reps who can give you some feedback. This will help you focus your efforts for creating your portfolio for college admissions.
Having your summer assignments done will give you a headstart on having the minimum number of eight pieces I will expect you to have ready for the review.
Keep in mind that NOT having summer assignments can have a negative impact on your grade and that's not a good way to start the year.
So, if you have procrastinated and left your work until now to begin, find your inspirationa nd get those pieces done! You will be glad you have done them!           

New Game Plan:

I am excited to see your work as it is posted. I look forward to opening the site and seeing new pieces. But rahter than my posting comments, I am going to leave that to you all.
I am finding that my posts are getting too long and I am not able to say what I have to tell you and see that you understand what I am saying. So I am going to refrain from posting anything further, as far as comments go, and let you react instead.
Feel free to say whatever you wish to each other as long as it is a positive comment.
Then bring your work to school and we will talk in person. But keep posting!

This is my "interesting photo", in poor quality. I've never really tried working with watercolors on my own so it was a god experience. If there is anything I can do to better my project, I'd be glad to hear what anyone has to say.

first post :o

so this is my self portrait.

its more conceptual than

realistic or anything.

i'm pretty sure that i am

finished with it, but if

anybody thinks that i

could do something more

than just leave a comment.

*ANNIE :]

Did you know?

I am pleased by what I am seeing from all of you. It is encouraging to see that you are working. It is exciting to check in and see what you have posted!
As I review your work and offer my feedback I take the time to really look at your work. I  try to give you some suggestions and ask some questions I think will spark some thought on your part.
Did you know that if you want to see a better view of your image you can click on it and it will be isolated (and often enlarged) in a new window?
This always helps me better focus on your work and see more detail so I can be more specific when I talk about what I see. I just thought you might like to know about this feature as you look at each other's images.

Not an excellent picture.
I am unsure if I am going to use this or not.
But, it's a work in progress, I kinda have an idea where this piece is going.
