Concept for Positive/Negative Space

Hello Class-

I have chosen to go with my first concept- 2 killer whales in the shape of a yin-yang. This will be a little bit of a political piece as the Japanese kill a lot of whales. I recently read a NY Times article that was titled "122 Pregnant Whales Were Killed in Japan's Latest Hunt". After reading further, I read that 114 of the 333 total whales killed were considered immature. I am going to use this information to create my positive/negative space art piece by using red and white as my 2 colors- the colors of the Japanese flag. I am then going to use the numbers 122 and 114 inside the shape of the whale as negative space. Hopefully it comes out as well as I see it in my head, below is the very rough, first draft sketch.

Continuous Line Drawing Assignment

Below are my three continuous line drawings. I used Bristol board and a fine tip black permanent marker. I do not enjoy drawing and found this assignment to be difficult. The first drawing is the self-portrait, the second one is of Jennifer Hoefs and her dog and the third one is of a turtle. I looked at a lot of different artists but could not duplicate it anywhere near as well.

Final Project- 2-Point Perspective House

Image
For my final project I decided to draw a 2-point perspective house using the letter E and the font Amity Jack. I chose the font because it is used for the title of one of my favorite movies, JAWS. The font is recognized by its all capital and bolded letters, which I thought was fitting for building a sturdy house. I chose the letter E because I thought it would give me the room that I needed to work in. I used Bristol board, pencil, red fine-tipped permanent marker, red colored pencil, and an eraser. Below is my finished product. I included the name of the font on the sides of the sidewalk.
