Inspiration Artist

The final three drawings that I chose I felt best represented and imitated the inspriation artists work the best. With 2 of the 3 being from Brooke Morgan, her style and technique in representing an interior really struck and stood out to me. Her use of clean lines, variating line weights, and light water color to make the floors appear glossy added visual pleasure to her work. Looking at her work made me want to actually inhabit and experience the spaces in which she communicated through drawing. The other artist Wyzte van de Belt really stood out to me because of the way he chose to make line vertical lines with horizontal lines. Also, through his shading technique, he didn't need an "outline" of the space, but rather he chose to let the horizontal lines make the composition.

I loved this assignment so much! The atmosphere was so set for nice quiet sketches. I obviously didn't go at "rush hour" because there were not many people to draw within my vignette, but the few that I could capture I did. I experimented with color pencils separate, watercolor separate, and then both together. My findings/results were that each technique gave a different but successful effect to the overall composition.

MORALS, MUSIC, ME...SONY, SHOES, SLEEP!!!

The connection that these artifacts have with me is that they are all a part of my daily routine. Starting from the morning to the night, I start my day off by reading the bible. Church has been in me since I was born, so I keep my Christianity close to my heart. The second item is my zune. It represents my love for music. Music has shaped my life in a major way. The third item is my camera. I feel like the camera in itself tells a story. A story of happy/sad memories. I try to take a photo of something meaningful everyday. My dance shoes are my fourth artifact and I chose them because dance is a huge part of my life. I have danced since I was a young girl all through high school, and now even though I don't dance to perform anymore, I am the dance coordinator for the dance team at my church. My final artifact is my bed/bedroom. I chose this artifact/space because as for my room, it is my dwelling place. After a long day I find peace and comfort and I have worked hard to make it personal and comfortable for me. My bed of course is my resting place. It is where I recuperate from the day. The cycle then starts over in the morning when I awake.
