this was the first piece that i did in AP drawing. it is a study of light on different shapes, drawn in pencil.
another early drawing, this one was a still life of fruit. for this drawing, i used color pencils
the objective of this project was to zoom in on a mechanical object. it also involved studying the way light hits and reflects off of an object (in this case, a shiny surface).
a still life of a pepper plant. similar to the mechanical piece where i did a close-up of part of the bigger object. this piece was done by layering the paper in charcoal and then erasing away the lighter parts.
for this one, i used a plaster block with an eye carved into it for my model. a quick drawing, the idea was to capture the smooth surface and shadows that creases on the face create. the line through the middle was a crack in the plaster, and in my efforts to capture the spirit of the original, i decided to include it in my drawing. this work was done in charcoal.
a lengthier project, our assignment was to crumple a bag however we liked, and then re-create the image on paper. charcoal pencils were the materials used.
the "spooky halloween" self-portrait was lit from lamps underneath my chin and drawn using white and black charcoal pencils.
in this project, i explored the effects of natural light on wood surfaces. this was done using a thing sharpie pen.
this is a piece from freshman year that i completed in "visual foundations". even more so than the mechanical and pepper drawings, the objective was to draw an object at such a close range that for the viewer, it is difficult to distinguish what the object is. the charcoal drawing is a close-up of an energy efficient light-bulb.
this cityscape is reflected on a brick factory window. to create it, i combined two different pictures; one of a factory window, the other of a city. i then altered the factory window to make one part open. the drawing was done in charcoal and colored pastel.
the last drawing in the breadth section that i chose to present to the AP board is the most diverse in terms of its process. the background is painted paper; however, instead of using regular paint, i first soaked it in water and the proceeded to rub salt, bleach, charcoal, a bit of green paint, and vinegar over the surface. after it dried, i rubbed it down with a brush, removing clumps of salt and bleach, to create a smoother surface on which to draw. since the paper feels like a stone wall to the human touch, i decided to create a series of cave people, in a cave drawing style. initially, the people were drawn in white, however to make them pop off the paper, i added black shadows around them with a black charcoal pencil. this last edition gave the impression that the figures were carved rather than drawn.
