Falling Rain

Falling Rain

Acrylic

2004 – 2005

This painting came from my painting class from my senior year of high school. We had to create an abstract piece with a lot of contrast. The idea was to make the painting look 3-D when using those 3-D glasses with the red and blue plastic lenses. That didn’t really work, but it still made an interesting project.

Oil Pastel

 2002

This project came from a ninth grade drawing class. We needed to make a drawing that was split down the middle with a similar, but contrasting theme on each side. I decided to draw a glacial mountain on one side, and a volcano on the other. Oil pastel is not my favorite medium, because it is quite messy. You can get some neat effects from using it though. The drawing came from my imagination.

Night and Day

Night and Day

Watercolor

 2005

I did this watercolor painting for my Senior high school painting class. For the project we had to paint the same scene how it would appear at night and at day. The next step was to cut each painting into strips. Then you had to glue the strips next to each other to form a painting that alternated from night to day. The scene came from my imagination.

Bryce Canyon

Bryce Canyon

 Tissue paper and Watercolor

2004-2005

This painting came from my 12^th grade painting class. We had to create an interesting texture. To create a rock texture I crumpled tissue paper and glued it down for the up close rock formations. I then used watercolors to finish the painting. I looked at a postcard of Bryce Canyon to create this project.

Mariners Still Life

Mariners Still Life

 Acrylic

2004-2005

This is a painting project from 12^th 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.

Ink

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.
