g2- art

                I hate art and I don’t know why I took it. Right now we are making a horrible project and it is so hard. We had to make a relief sculpture and now we are drawing the sculpture and it is really hard because we have to make the shadows and everything. A relief sculpture is a sculpture that is on a flat surface but raises off the paper. She had us create this by cutting up paper and shaping them in swirls and different shapes. The worst part is that every class the shadows change and it is really hard to notice the new ones and change the other ones. Even Sara, a senior, said that this is a difficult process. I am only in studio and art where you learn the basics. I think she is crazy for thinking we are going to be able to do something a senior artist thinks is difficult. After the relief sculpture the next step is to draw a contour drawing. This is when you just draw the outline of your sculpture pieces. The next step is to add value. You can add value in many ways but we are using shading. You use shading by finding the shadows on the paper and this is used to add depth. The shading also makes the drawing look real and three dimensional. Today we finally finished the drawing and then we started another project that is way better. It still has to do with value and shading but it is definitely more fun. With this project we had to pick a Disney character so I picked one of the little aliens from Toy Story. It is complicated but I think the whole class and I will have more fun with this project rather than the sculpture drawing.
