Pop Art Canvas

Picture
For this project we had to paint a canvas using pop art technique. We had to first draw using grids. I took a picture from internet from John Lennon and printed it, the hole page. Then I measured the canvas to create the grid to draw, after that I did the same with the picture. This technique of using grids to draw was really helpfull because that way my drawing was the same as the picture but in a larger scale. After drawing the picture I had to draw the shades, That way I cant paint it making it pop art. I painted first the lighest colors and then the darkest, i have about 7 tones of color purpule to make the shades. I used acrilic paints to paint the canvas and I painted the background gray and the face in different tones or purples. 

I really enjoyed this project because  I love painting. What I think I can improve is to draw better the shades so is easier to paint after. Another improvement will be to choose a picture of someone without glasses because it was really hard to draw the eyes due to the shades of the glasses.  The only thing that I will change is the color. I wanted to do it purple but its really hard to have the same tone always, sometimes it was more blueish other time it was reddish. So the recomendation will be to buy a nice purple and add white to it so you will have the same scale of purple always.

Collage About Me

Picture
In this project we had to make a collage with elements that represents us. I choosed to put pictures from magazines, wrappers tickets and other.  I have a tennis raquet drawn, a picture of Maria Sharapova and Roger Federer, and a ticket from the Davis Cup. this represent my love for tennis, to play it and watch it. Federer and Sharapova are my idols too in tennis. I also have a soccer match ticket and a picture of Lionel Messi. This represents my love for my team, Liga, and how much I love soccer too. And also Messi is my idol in soccer.  There are other things that I like. I have a sea shell because I love the beach, ans stickers of stars because I love to watch the stars at night. I love candies and gum and that is why i have wrappers pasted too.

This was a fun project because I could paste and draw many things that repredent me. I could have done better in organizing my collage because somethings are on top of other and maybe it has no sense for someone who doesn´t know me. I enjoyed this project because I had to really think about things that represent me, not just paste anything.

Picture Written Inside

Picture
In this project we had to draw the outside of an image. I choose Nick Jonas because I love his music. After I drew only with lines the form of Nick I had to fill it only with letters. I decided to fill it with lyrics from his songs. This was my favorite project because when you finish and erase all the lines it looks magical! after I finish filling the image I took a marker and pass the letters with the marker so it looked better. At the end I cut the picture and pasted on top of colorfull paper so it looks even better.
 
This was my favorite project because I love how it looks. When you look at it, it seems so magical. It was really easy to do this, eventhough it looks hard. What I can improve is to draw better the lines of the begining, because they have to be perfect so that it has the shape of the image. Another improvement is to have a regular letter, the same size and direction so it doesn´t looks messy. For the clothes maybe I should have used a different color, so you can clearly see the clothes.
