200 Projets to Strengthen Your Art Skills (p.36-37)

Overall, I never really had a personal sketchbook-just a few actual pieces of art pasted into a book-like binder. However, understanding that applying for an art school a sketchbook is a vital tool for showcasing my skills and process-I'm going to have to work on one, incorporating my process and how I got used to a media. Basically my whole art world in one book, not sure how it'll end up, but I really want to try.

Drawing a Contemporary Approach (p.40-41)

Understanding continuous- line drawings is like reading about gesture drawings, which I think are pretty much the same. Although they are really an exercise designed to improve observational skills they sometimes become an interesting form of art (which is not a drawing that I'm use to doing, however, it would be a terrific way for me to get loose in drawing and get out of my comfort zone). Then, adding details or colour afterwards can make a drawing a work of art.
be interesting to try it out....

LAST ONE!!

I'm kinda thinking I'm over my head now, with my last drawing. I dont know exactly how its gonna end up like or...not end up. *** I decided for my last drawing to do a  perspective on the future  and the massive detail in this picture is overwhealming me right now. I don't know if I'll finish in time. -But I'm going blind here, I'm drawing from my imagination, soooo....I'm not looking at a still life or anything real...thus making me on my own. But I will continue to right up the dead line...and hopefully it'll turn out how I planned....hopefully. heh ^_^"

My Pastel work-ish

Art gallery/shows

This summer was full of art for me. Every where my family and I went there was some kind of art incorporated into it. I visited the art galleries in Estes Park about 3 times, as well as some sketchbook stores there. Plus I was able to take my family to the Denver Art Museum this summer- my 2nd time going there. However, I was unable to go to the art galleries in New Mexico this summer- a little disappointing, but I'm counting on going soon.
