Julianna Trusello Art Alphabet (E-H)

E - Ancient Chinese Art

I used watercolor for the background and acrylic to create a simple painting of a tree silhouette inspired by Ma Yuan's "On a Mountain Path in Spring".

F- Ancient Japanese Art

I used multiple shades of blue acrylic to create the waves, then outlined the waves in black and added white details. The background is subtle light gray watercolor. If you look closely, the white part of the wave creates an F. 

G - African Art

As expected, I used lots of bright colors with acrylic to make them stand out. I tried to imitate an African painting style using colorful dots, some of which have other colors inside, to trace the letter G.

H - Islamic Art

For my letter H, I was inspired by a painting by Ishrat Ahmed titled "Islamic Art", which featured islamic calligraphy. I tried to replicate the bold gold lettering in the center of the piece, where Ahmed used Islamic text. The background includes varieties of blue, teal, and gold which appear very rough in texture. I used acrylic for this piece.

Ava Passehl Progress Photo #1-- Pastel Drawing

I'm very happy with the way this is starting. I am trying to, like Mrs. Silverman said, "surrender to the colors". I have been trying to color what I see, not what I think I should see. My goal for next class is to finish their faces and hands and start their hair.

When I brought my project home the portfolio accidentally got crushed in the back seat, so I am planning on starting over.

Rachel's AP Goals and Inspirational Artist

 

An artwork that inspires me is Candies by Wayne Thiebaud. This artwork inspires me because of the use of color and repetition. I love how the shape of the cakes are all the same but are made special with their individual design. I also like the simplicity of the piece and how the background doesn't take away from the cakes in the foreground. I also like the the brush strokes in this work that gives it depth. I just think this piece is so fun and inspires me to make my own fun artwork.

My goals for this year are to develop my own style and add works to my portfolio that reflect it. I also want to add more larger, completed pieces to my portfolio.
