Olympic Mountains

Olympic Mountains

Oil Pastel, Colored Pencil, Chalk Pastel

2003-2004

This project came from a drawing class I took my Sophomore year of high school. The middle section was based off a postcard of the Olympic mountains in Washington. We then had to make a border by repeating an element of the middle section in a different medium. The next border repeats a different element in another medium. The middle is in oil pastel, the first border is prismacolor colored pencil, and the second border is chalk pastel.

2003 – 2004?

For this project we had to make a social commentary piece. I thought of the subject of religion. I also thought of people who have given their lives for a cause. Perhaps because I like history and I am a Christian I thought of the Christian martyrs from ancient Roman times. I decided to draw the Coliseum. I looked at a picture I got from the Internet to draw the Coliseum and the rest I free handed.

I am a big baseball fan and I have been since I was about 12 years old. Because of this I decided to draw Jackie Robinson in one of my junior high art classes. I remember I was really disappointed about this drawing because I really liked how everything turned out, but was unable to pull off drawing the face. Everything else turned out well, but the face did not and that detracts from the work.
