the last contemporary imaging class

yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! so this class was really utterly pointless, haha, in a nice way. we had to pick a part of the uni where the buildings looked cool (or something, lol) and recreate the image on cardboard building up layers, cutting things out, etc.



so there's the foto and thats the building i did! hahah, fun

cleaning out the draws....

so i have finally taken all my uni stuff home from first term drawing. these drawings are from 2 different classes, one with doug and one with ros.
doug's class (the better, one, hehe)


(in this exersise, the teacher tried to help us change the way we viewed space.... so thats why the woman is contained in the frame space thingo)

HEADLESS FAT LADY

this stuff is with Ros's class

she taught us different ways to draw i suppose, in a very... uuh, hard to learn sort of way. i can't say she's the best teacher, but i guess some of her methods were cool. i can't remember the terms for these ones, but i think its called like, rubbing back or something.

first one's a dummy, 2nd one's a model and the 3rd one is a stuffed liar bird in a bag!
thats all i got worth showing from my now empty draw!

girl

drawing and fotoshop combined!

uggsie portrait

i'm going to do a painting of uggsie, my beeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuutiful baby cat!!!! it is going to be incredibly heartfelt and soooo in lovely! i'm going to use oil paints because we are learning with oil paints at uni and this is the first time i've used them! they're much different to acrylic paints which is what i have always used. but the thing is, i HATE what we're painting!!!! so i figure if i could enjoy painting... with a GOOD (if not wonderfully brilliant and beautiful) subject matter, then what could go wrong! i have the buy the paints first tho, but i bought a little canvas for $2.50 (bargain!!) and ive taken the foto and ive drawn on it, this is it so far.

BEAUTIFUL!!! then the painting shall begin! and i'll keep u posted on that too. i know i have way too many projects going on at the same time, but its good this way, cos when i get sick of one i can go onto another and then go back to the orginial if i get sick of the 2nd!!!! brilliant!

kinda like georgie o'keeffe....!

oh my gosh, i might have even learnt something!

i had to do my assignments on artist Georgia O'Keeffe and i hated it. i think she's a shit-head, but i say that rather ignorantly. when i looked into her artwork and read more about it, i kind of found something of my own in there to like. we had to draw a bone set in class, just a rough sketch, but when i was doing it, i was thinking of georgia o'keeffe's sensitively drawn animal skulls.

so keeping her artwork in mind, this was the "rough sketch", (that wasn't so rough in my opinion) that i came out with.

i know its cut off- but at that point the teacher told me it was lovely and that i really "saw" the bone.... BUT, i had to focus on an area for my shitty painting.... hehehe

this one's for vezza

its her birthday. this is my drawing for her. happy 12th birthday verity!

BORED IN THE LECTURE

as much as i enjoy them, i do get bored.... everyone does at some point and if they tell you otherwise, they are LYING!!!

this is the result of boredom- a drawing of the view infront of me!!! passed the time nicely i feel :)
