Of Art Assignments, Long-necked Cats and Hennas

These past few months I have been working for around 3 hours a day on art assignments for the AP studio art class I will be taking when school comes around again. I am almost sick of them, but they are so much fun. I have 11 assignments, and I'm posting some of them. 

These are my figure studies.

An acrylic painting of one of my friends 

A chalk sketch of my cousin

These are the still lifes

 Sorry it's crooked. A stuffed animal on a clock in pencil

A value study of the still life in cut paper

These are my nature studies

Tree number one which I hate

Tree number two which I love

Tree number three that I could care less about

Final piece combining the three trees which look nothing like the originals... you can tell I just loved this project...

This is my collage

It's not quite done yet.

This is a completed figure piece

clooooose up!

And one of my favorite projects.... the self-portrait!!

I am obviously not done with this one... it's in chalk pencil

This one is a collage

This is the horribly time consuming project, a lemon drawn with stippling dots.

Repeat after me: EEEEEEEKKKKKKK!!!!!!

It's actually going to look great though.

Yes, those are ALL tiny dots

And for all the meager amount of time I have leftover, I have taken up an obsession with cats. With long necks. Drinking tea. 

very cute very cute...

And if you were wondering, yes that last one was drawn in a book.... I took an unwanted book and primed the pages so it is now a sketch book for me!

Random face from a few months ago that I forgot to post

I have become determined to be an expert at henna tattoos, but so far they have been epic fails. 

The swirl was last weeks endeavor, the heart , yesterdays. Unfortunately, they are supposed to be brown. Better luck next time!!

I have made a beautiful collage of art on the hallway wall

my work!!!
