Mariners Still Life

Mariners Still Life
 Acrylic
2004-2005

This is a painting project from 12th grade. We had to pick a theme for a still life and I chose Mariners’ baseball. I decided to use my Ichiro bobble head and other Mariners’ memorabilia.

2000-2003?

I am not sure when this project was completed. I believe it was a Junior High project. We had to use the stippling technique. Stippling is only using dots to draw. To shade you use more or less dots. Unfortunately the glue leaked through the paper.

For this project we had to take elements from an every day item, in this case a kitchen chair, and turn it into an abstract drawing.

This is a grid drawing from 7th grade. I remember I was happy about how it turned out except the eyes.

Flowers: Up Close

Flowers: Up Close
 Watercolor
12th grade

This piece came from the painting class that I took in high school. I believe that we had to pick a close-up shot to paint. I picked this interesting flower and I think the project turned out well.

I am not sure which year this drawing came from. I believe it came from one of my high school drawing classes though. For this project we had to scratch the lines into the material to create a negative drawing. I believe it had to be part realistic and part abstract. This was the first and only time I did a project like this, so it didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted. It was an interesting project though.

This is a still life from my 10th grade drawing class. The hardest part was the sundae glass and the spoon.

This drawing came from a seventh grade art class. I wanted to share this project because it is the project that introduced me to prismacolor colored pencils. This is my favorite medium and is the medium I now use for all my projects. For this project we were supposed create a plant with as many loops and squiggles as possible.
