Art: Négative-Space Painting

To learn and appreciate the concept of negative-space in art, Mme Alex set us a model of a raven, paint/milk bucket, a Styrofoam head, and  scissors. We had to draw the outline of these objects, no inside details, just the outline. Then paint certain parts of the negative-space, which would be everything that is not inside or part of the outline. My first attempt did not result nicely thus for the art exhibition, following the chosen them of Death, I decided to try once again. Below is the result.

Art: One-Line Self Portrait

This week, the focus or main concept in art class was "one-line". Below is my second self-portrait of the year where I had to sit in front of a mirror and draw myself in one line. I could not remove the pencil from page, nor erase past lines; everything needed to be drawn in one-line. This proved to be difficult as well as a project in need of repetition to practice. Even so, I prefer the resulting portrait from my first attempt.
