I think the list of the pieces that they recommend are good. With having a variety of pieces, it shows how well I am as an artist as a whole.
I feel the easiest pieces to include would be a self portrait. I only say that because when I define a self portrait it is not only a piece of you, but who you are, how you feel, and all the little things that make you...you.
The hardest of the list would be a still life or an environment/landscape. I feel that those are the hardest because they require you to draw where you are and what you see, not from a picture or what you think the item or landscape should look like. Even figure drawing would be difficult with drawing proportions and making the piece be of photo quality.
Nothing in the list was too surprising. I really figured that those would be typical pieces that most colleges would want to see in your portfolio because of the difficulty that they each share. If you can create a composition from one of those and have them be absolutely outstanding plus having each and everyone of them show your growth as an artist; then those pieces truly show your artistic abilities. Not to mention that you could show the world how great you are as an artist.

Nena I agree with what you said about figure drawing. I feel it will be a challnege as well. Maybe it will be an experience for us that we can over come this obstacle called figure drawing.
ReplyDeleteWell, I already commented on this, but it's not here! So, I'll try it again.
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that you are so confident about making a self portrait. It seems that a lot of people struggle with self portraits, including me.I hate every attempt I've ever make at one. Anyways, I'm always really impressed when i see a well done self portrait, and I'm excited to see yours!
I think that I would agree with you on self portraits. It's easy to create something about someone you already know so well and i'm glad you're so confident about it. I also agree on the hard part being drawing from real life. But, I can't wait to see what you do and how you overcome these challenges!
ReplyDeleteNice job Nena. I agree that drawing directly from observation is much more difficult...that's why we do it! You've made some good points here and are right on track.
