David's Art Process


I'm not entirely sure why I chose to draw a tiger, but I draw a lot of tigers. It doesn't have some kind of deeper meaning to me, but I've done a whole bunch of them these past few months. This is probably my most successful one thus far. I used charcoal, and I tried to do something different than what I normally do. I did virtually no outlining of the drawing, and made marks specifically where there were darker values, and tried to create light/dark values by density of the mark-making. I consider it a successful attempt, and I will continue on with this method in the future.

I am currently in the process of creating a drawing of a lion, which is in the same scene, except during the day, and is facing the tiger. I have doubts as to whether of not it is going look good, however, and I may or may not use them as one piece. I will most likely use them as separate pieces, and attempt to create a lion/tiger scene later, when I get the chance.

Chinese Calligraphy

I have always been interested and fascinated by the art of Chinese calligraphy, both as a form of writing and a form of art. It has frequently been an inspiration to me in a few of my art pieces. It takes years and years to be able to master the "art of brush" and to be able to know how much ink, pressure and force to apply to each brush stroke to write a character.

Lichtenstein makeup

This is interesting to me because it's fairly successfully changing a detailed, three dimensional object into something that looks flat.

Faces of Paranorman

This is a bit strange but I'm very fascinated with stop motion so I thought I'd share this.

The Abstraction of Franz Kline

 My favorite part? He preferred house paint over profession grade artist's paint!

James Pack's art process

I wanted to connect this piece with the larger theme of my recent work, which is the idea of wabi-sabi ( a Japanese worldview and aesthetic that is centered around the ideas of impermanence and imperfection). Through wiping out certain parts of this figure, I wanted to highlight the idea of transience. I am really interested in the interaction between the human figure and the natural world and hope to keep exploring it.

Sarah's art process

Throughout the beginning of this year I have been playing with shapes. From swirls to hard edges, I constantly like to play with movement and flow.  The two pieces of artwork shown on the blog represent a series of abstract movements and shapes that both portray movement and different shapes. Besides playing with different figures, playing with different materials as well has contributed to the tone and mood that I am trying to get across to the viewer.  By using china markers, ink, waters colors, pens and pencils, I am using a variety of materials that will hopefully contribute to piece that is two dimensional in tone and mood.  Later on, I hope to utilize textures and different types of surfaces in order to emphasize the message of the piece as well as enhance the appeal to essentially make my pieces contain more  depth.



Sarah's inspired fantasy project
My piece based on Sonja Delaunay focuses on aspect of cubism.  Not only was I inspired by her use of shapes and figures but the way she assembled them. I pieced together my geometric shapes in a way that created a sense of harmony and flow. Beyond shape I focused on colors reflecting her bright artwork that was very eye catching. By using warm and bright colors I tried to get the shapes and patterns to really pop.
