Jason 7/14

I've been progressing through the drawing pages and have found that I am renewing my skills with time. This is the first drawing I did:

And these are the two latest:

I am also experimenting with styles of gradient with the lines. All of these are continuous line contours (overlapping means inner and outer, right?) as I did in Mrs. Shepp's class. I'm paying more attention to the overall shape of the object, and I think that last hand might capture it better than filling in more as in the previous one. I also wrote brief reflections after each drawing...

I've also done some weaving, but I don't have photos of those pieces yet. I think I'll have to use the printer at school and retroactively place some images in my IWB...

Hints in using Artstor

There are many ways to find the images you’re looking for in the ARTstor Digital Library; a simple keyword search will often lead you to what you’re looking for, and an advanced search will help narrow the results. Wildcards can help when you don’t remember a precise name or title, or, conversely, when you are looking for something very specific. There are only four to remember:

The underscore (_) can represent any one character. For example, m_netwill retrieve monet, manet, etc.
The asterisk (*) can represent zero, one, or several characters. ren* will retrieve ren, rene, renoir, renaissance, etc.
The dollar sign ($) will expand the search to include terms that stem from a given root. $farm will retrieve farm, farmer, farming, farmyard, etc.
To search for an exact phrase, put it in quotes (“…”). When searching for the painting Le Moulin de la Galette by Renoir, enter “le moulin de la galette”. Also, unless your search phrase is enclosed in quotation marks, the order of terms will not affect the search, so searching for albrecht durer gives you the same results as searching for durer albrecht.
