Week 3

This week I diverged from the theme of landscape and started making a series of colorful drawing with markers.  I think I am going to continue with that idea and then see what I come up with.  The drawings look really cool together and I like how there is no focal point, so the viewer's eye is drawn around the entire page.  I am still completely unsure of what I am going to put in the gallery but I plan on working more with both concepts.  After reflecting on my artwork, and discussing it with my critique group, I realized how much my work conveys emotion.  This allowed me to ponder what emotions I want to portray in my art, as this greatly influences how it is seen.  During the critique, my group and I also discussed which materials I should use.  I definitely want to continue using markers for the colorful designs, but I am unsure about which materials I should use for the landscapes.  My group and I thought they looked best in pencil, but pencil drawings have become somewhat of a comfort zone, and I think this is a good class to experiment more.
