Camila´s Art Portfolio

Joe Jonas Canvas

Picture
This project was my favorite. It needed lots of time to finish with it, but it was a great challenge. To make this project you first have to choose a person to draw it, in my case Joe Jonas. then you have to divide a picture in squares of 2x2 or 4x4 depending on the size and equally the canvas. Then you have to draw, realizing that it looks similar to the picture guiding with the help of the squares. In the picture you should mark spots with number from 1 to 5 according to their shades. Once you have the drawing with pencil in the canvas you should start painting with acrylics. You need to make 5 shades so you paint according to the picture shades. After you finish painting the background should be either black, white or consequent colors. After you paint all the canvas and it dries you got the final product. The goal of this project is to know how to draw faces, add shades and maybe learn to paint with acrylics that is not so common. 

This project had a lot of obstacles. The hardest obstacle for me was to finish in class, i had to paint it on home so when i went to buy the paintings I got confused and bought oil painting, it was a disaster because i couldn't mix the oil painting with the acrylic painting. When you draw with pen the person you choose it looks really nice but when you start painting with acrylics it gets really hard and if you are not carful you may ruin it. The easiest part of the project is the background, although you have to be careful not to paint above the face. These project i really enjoy it and i am proud of my final product. 

Taj Mahal Architecture style

Picture
For this work of art I used very common materials. I used materials such as paper, cardboard, markers, scissors and glue. My topic was to search the architecture style from Taj Mahal, so I researched in internet. On my poster of Taj Mahal architecture style I pick colors such as red and orange to right on so it gives more happiness to it. The poster includes two pictures of the Taj Mahal, interesting facts like who was the architect, when it was built, why was it built and more, there also were some types of architecture ornaments that the building has such as arches, columns and more. 

This project was really interesting and kind of easy. It was interesting because you learn a lot about different architecture styles and different architecture ornaments. With these project you also learn more about what each ornament is and where it can be used. These project it was easy because you only have to do research and then take the most important information and make bullets about them. Then you take two pictures and you just set up your poster. I didn't did only in black because then it would look boring and sad, so i used colorful markers to write with. 

Justin Bieber Verbal Portrait 

Picture
This piece of art was really fun to do it. The purpose of making it was to do a drawing with words. First you have to choose what you want to draw, in my case I picked a picture of Justin Bieber because i am a big fan of his. Then in a separate piece of paper you had to trace the most important part of the picture. Then in the traced lines you do before you write words on top and the form is going to get marked. I wrote with a black pen but in some parts i used pencil. To decorate the final product that is Justin Bieber Verbal Portrait i put it on two different colors cardboards so it look more colorful.  

These project was really entertained because at the final it looked really cool, also because I wrote songs and quotes from the artist Justin Bieber. The project was really long and it was a time consumer, but it shows it worth. The hardest part of the project was to make the drawing look alike to what you were supposed to draw, also it was to make the hair look real. For me the easiest part was to see what i was going to write on the Justin Bieber verbal portrait, but because it was a musician I decided to write his lyrics and some quotes. It was a nice project because it was the first time i did something like that, it was an original work that i really enjoyed making.

Iker Casillas finish the picture

Picture
For this work you need a lot of imagination. The goal of the project was to finish a magazine picture. You have to choose a picture from a magazine and finish the drawing adding what you want. In my case i choose a picture of Iker Casillas who is a soccer player of Spain. In the magazine he was with a red rectangle in his jacket witch said who he was and interesting facts about him, so i decided to cut that rectangle and finish the jacket. Because the drawing looked too empty y decided to draw a soccer ball at his let side. Once i finish with the ball I made a background with words just like the Justin Bieber Verbal Portrait. In some specific part of the drawing i made some shades and that was all my job.

During I was making my work i think the hardest part of it was the shades in the jacket and also in the background. Because it was black and white shades were really important and tried to made it perfect. To make the jacket I only needed to see how would the picture be if the red box wouldn't be there. My strengths were to do the soccer ball and the background, it was easy although it make me spend long time on it. This project requires a lot of imagination, but it is also fun.
