Title: sunset on the beach
Course: advanced drawing and painting
Artist: megan taggart
Teacher: Mr. Salyers
Subject Matter: it features a chameleon hanging from a branch at sunset with some frog friends
Medium: colored pencil, paper
Project Goal: how to blend with colored pencils
Personal Review/Evaluation and Critique: I liked this project because it allowed us to use our own creativity to our full extent. One thing I struggled on was shading the water. None of the colors I had blended very well. I think my Chameleon and frogs look really well though. When I drew them I remember being impressed with myself. If only I made them bolder and stick out.
Elements of Art - Color, space, and value we're all used in this project. Color obviously because of the wide variety of shading I had to do. Space because of the chameleon being the foreground, frogs in the middle ground, and the sunset in the background. Lastly, value was shown through the blending of each color.
Principles of Art- Emphasis and pattern were both used in this project. Emphasis because the chameleon is the vocal point, and because the sun also draws your eye in. Pattern was also used in the way i colored the water/sky.
