breadth section (:
for my february pieces i defintiely want to incorporate an encaustic piece into my concentration.i havent worked with encaustic very much, but this year ive been experimenting with different styles so i thought it would be a good idea to try it out (: we only have four and a half more months of school, thats kinda scary.and we only have three more months to finish our concentration!! this year has gone by way too fast

portfolio day

i didnt really have any specific school i wanted to be critiqued by, because im not going to art school and ive already applied everywhere. i mainly used the experience as an opportunity to get critiqued on how to develop my portfolio more.
what i need to do:
-more observational drawings
-more figurative works, life drawings etc. i suck at life drawings...
-my concentration last year was alot of color-blocking, flattened-out portraits, and the lady from maine told me that i should combine that style with a contour line drawing, or mixed media, to get more layers and depth into my work.
-more variety
-i also need to work on my sketchbook more
yeaa thats pretty much it

winter breakkkk

for my pieces over winter break i wanted to challenge myself and use different medias then i normally use. i cant find my cord to my camera though ): so i cant upload pictures at the moment. but all of my pieces were really frustrating to begin with, so i just decided to see where they took me. i dont really know if i like them very much, but well see. i think i have enough pieces for my breadth section already though, so that makes me happy :D
