Arrrrrrrt matey

Well, once again we have a really cool art project, thanks to our really cool art teacher. It isn't quite finished yet (we're going to add details with pen and ink), but it's pretty cool so far.

Here is yet another art project. It's a dilapidated castle/tower-type thing. This one was really fun. Last week, we used stiff pieces of paper to drag paint up the paper, giving the tower effect. This week, we detailed it using pen and ink. I think a couple people used felt-tip pens. I haven't given mine a watercolor wash yet, but others have. Anyways, this picture is of two of my three pictures put together. I did them so that they could be combined. The other one I experimented with and it came out cool, but odd and different. I may post it some other time when I finish it.

Art and power failure

Well, this past week in art class I finished my first dragon and started a second. The second, however, is in watercolor pencil, not watercolor. There is a very big difference in style, etc, between these two, but I like both, because each has different strengths. The actual watercolor gets a much better wash effect, but my watercolor pencils didn't cause ink to bleed like it did in the first one, and they are much more precise. Anyway, I'm now thinking about colors for the second dragon. I didn't get to post these as soon as I wanted to, and I may not be able to post again this week, because we had no power for over 24 hours. Consequently, I am somewhat behind in my all my courses, but especially my online courses.

Hexagonal...pyramid....type...thing

Anyways, for physics, we haven't liked recent experiments so we constructed 3-D structures from toothpicks and spice drops, as it would probably be difficult to construct 2-D structures from them.... so, here 'tis, with a can of diet pepsi for size reference. Isaac made a cool dome thing that looks like a jungle gym. David made a suspension bridge, difficult, considering the medium. It didn't last so long, but 'twas pretty cool. Then he made a tower thingy. Anyways, the pyramid is cool, because I made it out of triangles (a few diamonds) but it's strong enough that you can pick up the entire structure by the top spice drop.

Can you draw a dragon?

Anyways, we did a cool project in art today. This is a pen and ink/watercolor dragon. I'm not sure what color of wash to put over the background and rocks, so any help would be appreciated. I was thinking maybe gray and dark gray... anyways, hopefully mobius will put up his dragon and his pen and ink landscape. His landscape is amazing. Ye olde goldilockes should put his up too.

Art again

Here be my drawings. The tunnel-type one is this week's and the barn is last week's. Even though in this picture, the doorway to the left looks tilted, it really isn't when you look at it in real life, don't know what's up with that... Anyway, here they are, enjoy.

Art

Well... I finished my art project tonight...which I was assigned this morning. Mrs G still doesn't believe me... *sniff* If I could find the digital camera I'd prove it.
