Portrait in digital art

Reflection

I was inspired to draw this by looking at photos.

I thought about drawing a person in a hat at first, but this didn't go as planned, so I resized the drawing, and drew a better version of the picture. I decided to draw him in a bandana instead.

I enjoyed designing the picture, and I also enjoyed drawing the face, and perfecting the picture.

I do find it difficult to get proportions right, like getting both the eyes to be a similar shape and size. It's also very time consuming to complete the drawing, so I spent a long time on the drawing. Colouring it in was quite simple, but finding the right colours was difficult, because sometimes the colours clashed and it didn't look quite right.

Now that I have completed the full photo, I am satisfied with how it turned out.

Unit 2 Arts Leadership - Silver Arts Award Unit 2 Part C: effective arts leadership

My project: Teaching a small group of people how to draw a realistic human eye using pencils. I began with an introduction to what I will be teaching. I asked the participants questions about the topic - what they knew about the human eye, so I could better understand the participants' abilities, and work off that. This was part of my improving communication skills as I needed to be clear about the process of drawing an eye so that they could follow my instructions. I asked the participants to draw the subject, before I had taught them anything, so I can even better understand their skills, and help them based on their ability. After I asked the participants to try out drawing, I began my explanation of how I draw an eye. My aim was to pass on the skill that I had previously learned and to encourage their own creativity by encouraging each participant individually to build on their own skills and not just cop...

Silver Arts Award Unit 1 Part D: arts research

For part D of unit 1 of the silver arts award, I learned about different practitioners of the Arts and about careers and courses in the Arts through a careers and courses evening at Manchester Art school and a Graphic Design Saturday Club, also held from Manchester School of Art. Things I learned at the Graphic Design Club: In the Graphic Design Saturday Club, the different forms of art we learned ranged from typography, lettering, poster design, both digital and physical forms of graphic design, calligraphy and we did some rearranging shapes to make pictures. Various practitioners of graphic design came into the Saturday club to talk about the art form of which they study or work in, this included a typographer, calligrapher, and various graphic designers. I was inspired by the people who did the graphic design talk, since they talked about what forms of graphic design they did, so it made me think about what I wanted to do with my graphic design skills and has inspired me to ...

Unit 2 Arts Leadership - A: Identify leadership role and plan the project's aims

I met up with Kerry my Arts Award mentor in January this year to discuss my ideas for my leadership project. I wondered whether to do an exhibition of my art work or whether to do a teaching session to pass on an art skill. I talked to my Art Teacher at my Friday lesson to perhaps doing an exhibition in his studio, or another option was to teach one of the younger children at the Art Lesson a digital art skill. I decided that I wanted to pass on an art skill to a group of mixed age people and I wanted to complete my Arts Award before the end of July this year. I thought about teaching making creative sketches and paintings of liquids and objects. I did a rough sketch of some ideas. My ideas I decided not to do watercolours as it might be hard for people to use their imagination and hard to teach them how to do that. Do I decided to teach the drawing of the human eye. Rough sketch and ideas about teaching the drawing of the human eye Today (24th Apri...
