For this assignment I attempted to create a portrait of myself. The Media of this painting was paper and water color. During this assignment I learned not only how to draw a face proportionally, but paint in a way that gives the face dimension and a realistic feel. I feel like I was able to portray good texture for the hair. Also, I feel like I was able to give my painting sufficient shading in the face. By painting the sweatshirt multiple colors its have it more of a shae rather than one color giving it a slat feel. I also gave the divots in the sweatshirt darker values to make it seem more real. The way I painted this gave my expression a very soft feel.

I feel like my attempt at a self portrait looks similar to me. The media was paper and pencil. During this assignment I learned how to properly proportion a face to were it looks like a person and not an alien. I also learned how to draw a nose and lips, I had never known the technique for drawing them. By using lots of lines varying in value I was able to create realistic looking hair. Also, proportionally the facial features of this drawing look correct, everything is in the right place. Furthermore, the scale of the eyes to the nose to the lips also looks correct. I feel like from the face I was making and how I drew it the portrait gives of a stoic feeling.
This image is obviously a painting of a leaf, and the media that was used was water color paints and paper. A new skill that I learned was how to paint in layers, and how to not ever paint the paper to were it looks muddy. In this painting there was many colors used to create real life leaf colors. Also, the value of the background, by not consistently being dark it creates a nice feeling of gentle movement. Also, by using contrasting colors made the leaves pop. The overall feeling you get from this painting is a very soft and gentle one. It gives off a very calm mood
To me this image looks very close to what the actual hallway looks like. I feel that it is indeed very recognizable. The medium of this drawing was pencil and paper. A new skill that I learned while I was drawing this was that by shading and adding more objects within that drawing you created more depth and gave it a more realistic feel. Also by really focusing on the shape of the whole picture and which shaped goes where and by trying to match everything it put an emphasis on the reality of this drawing. It really feels like you could just step forward and walk down this hallway, the movement of this drawing is very realistic and convincing. The proportion is also very close to how the hallway actually looks so that also contributes to the real feeling of the drawing.
