^ my black and white lined painting^
So far in drawing & painting we've been studying value. We just
recently put these skills we've learnt to the test in a Vincent Van Gogh drawing. Although instead of
recreating the painting itself, we did ablack and white version of it, using
markers and lines. Value, is when you add light to a black and white picture, it's shading and also
giving off the impression of it being three-dimensional. So
needless to say, it was really hard to do this project. The process was a challenging one, that stressed me out at
some points. I remember first starting and thinking that it would be near impossible to use marker and
not make mistakes. But along the way I stopped to realize that this
was just like painting, except we weren't using paint. I began to see slowly how I could imagine Van Gogh
himself painting this and which way the lines would have flowed. And whether I'd use short strokes or long
and elegant ones, looking at this project in a different light really made it easier. And this painting was of
irises, and imagining how the lines in an iris would be wasn't as challenging as the project I thought would.
Van Gogh himself also created his original paintings into black and white lines, imagine how hard it'd be for
him not even knowing how the painting would turn out. But Van Gogh was an
artistic genius, who made everyday things look more complicated with his dynamic
lined strokes. He's well known for his paintings of sunflowers, irises, and vast fields, these original
things were turned into masterpieces because Van Gogh decided to show the way the lines flowed in this
situation. If I was given this assignment again I would probably have paid moreattention to
the intricate detail. I am satisfied with the value and the color in my final product, even though the color is
black and white it seems like it would be an easy project. But it's very hard to create value and
add light to the sections that are illuminated. Observation was
key in this project, I observed somewhat, and my observation skills developed even more, because
before all I observed really carefully was those microscopic specimens under a microscope in science ;) it's
amazing how you can connect simple black and white drawings to things like
science. My final results are alright, my other classmates did an amazing
job though, so it's instinct for me to compare mine with theirs :) believe it or not but we didn't just learn
value in this project, life skills and observation skills came with it too.
