I used colored pencil for this piece because I thought it would look good if i made the feathers by hatching and it turned out pretty well. I chose to morph a chicken and a hand to make "chicken fingers." I started by tracing my hand but leaving off the tops of each finger for a nail or the chicken's head. I drew the chicken's head first and then started hatching the feathers. I tried drawing knuckles then colored the whole thing. I chose red nails like the chicken's red comb. Here are 20 images that inspired me. My favorite medium was oil pastel because how easily it blends which makes the value look really good. My least favorite medium was acrylic paint because I wasn't very good at blending it and I got frustrated with making the shadow and it looks kind of trashy to me.
This is my complementary color painting. I picked this to paint because I really love sunsets and my original picture had beautiful colors and I thought it would look really cool when i painted it.
In the Pen drawing, I didn't like it because you couldn't go back if you made a mistake and you had to kind of just draw over what you had if you wanted to change it or if you messed up. I liked it because it looks like a final draft because how nice the pen was. In the pencil drawing, I didn't like that there was so much to focus on in the still life. In the other drawings, I was focused on just one object but there's a lot going on in the pencil drawing and I feel like it makes it look a little busy. I liked that I could blend it easily and I liked that I could use so many different shades of pencil. In the Charcoal drawing, I really liked how easy it was to get rid of your mistakes. You could pretty much blend everything to hide it. It was hard because it didn't stay in place so well. Every time I touched the paper to hold it down, my fingers rubbed the charcoal off.
Peter Gibson is a street artist in Montreal, Canada who goes by the name "Roadsworth." He paints on roads, walkways, walls, and parking lots all over his community. He was motivated by the need of more bike paths, so he started his stencil technique art. I am inspired by the way Roadsworth puts a spin on everyday things. He's turning the world into an art museum. To me, typical graffiti looks like random characters and scribbles. Roadsworth uses lines already painted by the town and turns them into a story. I'm pulled in by the way he builds onto what's been there. I think it would be really cool to see his art in real life, to see if people stop walking or stop what they're doing to look at it. I think it's even more rebellious and cooler than graffiti on trains and brick walls because you can paint the train over again but there was never any paint in the middle of the road, so you're forced to just let it fade away by itself unless you want to repave the street.
