Week Fourteen- "Sleeping Rivalry"
 |
| Sleeping Rivalry Oil Paint 2010 |
I started using pencil just to outline the features I wanted to portray in the kitten and dog. Then I used oil paint to expand on those features.
Concept
It started with an adorable photo of a kitten and dog sleeping together. I just drew from that photo and was able to create this.
Composition
The kitten is darker than the dog so compositonally your eye is drawn to thew kitten because of size, placement and contrasting colors.
Week Thirteen-"Holding Hands"
 |
| Holding Hands Pencil 2010 |
Craft
I used pencil on sketch paper.
Concept
This is the more cartoony version of me holding hands with Joshua ( he's wearing the watch). We both love The Beatles and that song just seems to match this moment.
Composition
My intentions were to draw the eye to the hands where the heart sits.
Week Twelve- "Red Lips"
Craft
I used oil pastel and I smothed it into the background using my hands.
Concept
They are kissable red lips, an idea I received from listening to Katy Perry's I Kissed a Girl.
Composition
The eye is hinted to look towards the lips and even in the center of the lips because of the change in color.

Week Eleven- "Exploding Happiness"
 |
| Exploding Happiness Pencil/ Oil Pastel 2010 |
I started with pencil, drawing the the dome and the things inside it. I then added the ballerina for she is the subject of this piece. After I added pastel to change the mood.
Concept
This idea of an exploding dome was taken from a classmate in Art Major Seminar. I drew from his piece to make a more positive piece.
Composition
The brightness of the yellow contrasts with that of the red and black, but not as strongly as the pencil on white does. The eye is drawn towards the center of the dome.
Week Ten- "Flower after Sunset"
 |
| Flower after Sunset Oil Pastel 2010 |
Oil pastel was used, and I also use my fingers to mix the colors onto the paper.
Concept
This piece was inspired by Georgia O'Keefe's interpretaion of a sunset called Red and Orange Streak. I used the colors she used in her painting to create another flower of my own.
Composition
I want the attention to initially be directed to the center of the flower and for the eye to expand to the outer parts of the flower into the different colors.
Week Nine- "Flower 2"
 |
| Flower 2 Oil Pastel/ Acrylic paint 2010 |
I used oil pastel for the flower and metallic, acrylic paint for the background.
Concept
It's simply another flower that I designed on my own. An image presented itself in my mind and I went with it.
Composition
The background is supposed to draw your attention towards the center where the flower is.
