IF-Undone




I just found this art challenge thing called Illustration Friday where they have a theme, and you're supposed to draw something related to that theme. Today's theme was "undone" so I drew this city that is coming undone, it's being consumed by colorless force of complete nothingness. I used pencil, water color, and pen. :)

Salvador Dali

Surrealism is one of my favorite kinds of art work! Salvador Dali is a great surrealist. I love the Elephants with their long, thin legs. It kinda reminds me of something from Dr. Suess. And the clocks are very cool.

"Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them. On the contrary: rationalize them, understand them thoroughly. After that, it will be possible for you to sublimate them." ~ Salvador Dali

Finally, Another Post.

So, the scanner started working and I decided to post these pictures I drew. I know that most of you have already seen these when I went to New York but I decided to post them anyway if only just to post something.


So this is from that 'Key' Assignment I had in Art class. My idea is that the "Eye is the key to the Soul" (Ok, I know its really 'the eye is the window to the soul' but I just... uh took some poetic license). The Eyelashes aren't right but I didn't want to screw it up sense I already used watercolor, so it is what it is... (oh, And the little speckles are there on accident, crayon shavings got on it and when I tried to swipe them off they left little speckles...oh well)




This is made with crayon (I wasn't allowed to use pencil). It was another homework assignment where I had to make something relating to Baci candy from Italy (its really good!) and the wrapper had all these blue stars on it. So this is what I came up with. It's ok, I could have done more but I didn't have time (I procrastinated) and I couldn't use pencil.


Looking at the Earth from the Moon.
This was just one I made at home. I like it.


Falling asleep in class: Why we need more sleep and less school. I mean Its not like we're consciously there half the time cuz we're so tired!




Next assignment: Luck. :) We're supposed to draw something we have that is lucky (ex. horseshoe, four leaf clover....etc...) again without using pencil :( not sure what I'll draw yet...

The Clinic and the Key

so me and Gracia were assigned to make a mural for the clinic. We made a few designs and the nurse liked this one. Origionally it was only the thing that said clinic with the stethiscope (i'm not really sure who drew the origional design), but she wanted it to have CHS somewhere on it, so we remade it with CHS (for Chantilly High School). Eventually this will be on the wall in the nurses office:



In art class, they gave us a Skeleton key and told us to use it as inspiration for a drawing or add stuff to the key and make it jewelry or something, we can paint it...etc... Not sure what I'm going to do with it. Why's it called a Skeleton Key anyway?

Big hand or small people?

I made this today, no particular reason why I made it, I just did. I kinda like it. I drew it in my sketch book, at first it was just going to be a black-and-white contour drawing, then I colored it in.





new blog

Hey everyone! I started blogging again (lets see if i can keep it going this time). I'm going to be blogging mostly artwork, not just drawings and stuff, like photography too, and music, and other forms of art. My mom can blog about all the everyday stuff we do, and i'll just blog about everyday artsy stuff. At school, I'm in Art 1 and on Mondays, Art club. Everyday I like walking down the halls at school and looking at all the new artwork hung up on the walls, and at all the murals Art club makes. I also think that other art should also be recognized.... like riding horses for example :) and poetry and things that don't particularly pop right into your head when you think of art. Ok so my blog is like about a lot of things, but like a lot of things are art. I think this will be fun!
