The piece that I drew shows Martin’s Auditorium. I drew the auditorium in detail so that a few simple abstract shapes could show more texture and value. For the arc I used cross hatching and for the smooth inversed arcs I used a more basic hatching. For the terrain I made the ocean in the background with hatching again, but thicker and with the bushes I used scumbling. The clouds are faint but for those I did hatching.

If my artwork was hanging in a gallery, I would like my viewers to know about the word 'Nightmare' scrawled on the wall. When I drew this, I got the idea from a nightmare that my older brother had that he told me about. In his nightmare, he walked in a large library in which a huge ceiling fan above was slowly rotating. On each end of the fan's blades, a doll was hanging by a rope. My brother described that the dolls were the scariest part of his nightmare. In parts of my drawing, shadows can be seen represented by cross-hatching or hatching lines. Above the scrawled word, long scratch marks extends to the ceiling of the empty library. In between the messy bookshelves, a mysterious, shadowed hallway can leave a viewer wondering about where the hallway leads to. Stippling can be seen on the ceiling fan and on the bookshelf design.

I chose option #1. As you can see I used many different techniques in the drawing. I was thinking of the ideas to draw. Then, I realize the idea to draw this guy. I used stippling to show some value of the beam. To tell a truth, it looked real bad when I started stippling the beam. But, as I went through some tedious work, it started looking slightly better.

When people look at my art, I want them to know to keep pushing through hard times, especially in times like this. This coronavirus pandemic, has changed many lives. Whether you lost your job or a loved one, it's important to know that it's not the end of the world. I want others to understand the importance of the phrase 'never give up.' Though it may sound a bit cliché, this phrase is very meaningful, especially to the people who are really having a hard time right now.

My artwork portrays many blank theater masks that are repeating against a recurring background frame. Masks cover the face, allowing one to hide their emotions and personality. The repeating masks represent how often we try to hide our true emotions from society and the rest of the world. I used repetition in the background as well, with the repeating frames on top of each other. The use of repetition in the recurring objects and background colors create a sense of movement and visual production.

I used repetition in my artwork by repeating the same shape as the background of the image. My artwork was inspired by a show called Sanders Sides. I drew the character Patton because he a very positive character and always makes me laugh. This character love cat's even though he is allergic to them. He even has a cat sweater that he wears in every episode. Patton always tries to do the right thing and that is very inspiring to put more kindness into the world.

For this assignment I just decided to have a simple blue/purple-ish background with a dash of glitter and for the repetitive part I just drew a bunch of roses on the canvas. I also added tints of color within the roses to give it more color. After painting the blue background I thought it would be best to add orange into the roses because they are complimentary colors. I decided to use roses because they are one of my favorite flowers and they are fun to draw even though I am not the best at it.

If my artwork were hanging in a gallery, I would want people to know that I used repetition in my painting. I made rows of flowers like you would see in a flower field. I included many colors as well. I put yellow and white flowers in the very back, red and white flowers one row in front of that, pink, purple and white flowers in the row in front of that, and included all those colors in the very front row. Also, I made all the flowers the same shapes which also shows repetition.

I decided to do something a little different than normal. I drew a shell in my room, traced it with pen, and filled it in with markers. (Rather than painting something.) I focused on the natural repetition that occurred on the shell and exaggerated it in a more cartoon/illustrative way. I had lots of fun with this piece. I also like the different shades of brown.

My art piece has a lot of different elements in it. In my drawing used 3 mark-making techniques. I used this techniques with apple and I draw apple in a lot of my drawing but apple is the only that comes to my mind because i am fasting but anyways i drew apple with dots to show 1 kinda of techniques and then inside of the apple i use the red color form light to dark and for then in outside of the apple i used the second techniques with i use the lines going the same direction and for the last lay i used lines going in different directions.

Using paper and a black ballpoint pen, I created a cartoon drawing of a skateboarder in front of a huge half pipe. I really like skateboarding and thought that it would be fun to draw a cartoon-style picture since that is not my usual style. I used all four mark-making techniques (hatching, cross-hatching, stippling, and scumbling) and I incorporated many different values into the drawing. I've used scumbling before, but I had never drawn with hatching, cross-hatching, or stippling, so it was interesting for me to try those, even though I messed up a few times. It was kind of relaxing to draw with pen because I couldn't erase, so I had to improvise a lot when I made a mistake.

I drew The Broadmoor, a resort in Colorado Springs. I went there a few times for a piano competition. I went again this last January. The buildings are very grand, and the scenery is beautiful, so I decided to use it to explore the dark and light values. I used hatching for the roofs and the lake, cross-hatching for the building walls, stippling for the sky, and scumbling for the bushes and rocks.

This is a drawing of one of the trees I have in my backyard. I used several different values in my drawing. The clouds are the lightest, while the bottom of the tree trunk is darkest. I also used all four techniques in my drawing. The dirt is hatching, the trunk is cross-hatching, the leaves are scumbling and the shadow is stippling.

For this assignment, I chose to draw fruit because it has a good variety of shapes and textures to practice mark-making techniques on. I used hatching, cross-hatching, and stippling to create depth to the fruits. I chose the mark-making technique for each fruit based on their properties (i.e. round cherries=stippling and angular watermelon=hatching). I felt that I was more successful with using the techniques with some of my drawings than the others. It was the hardest for me to use stippling because I couldn't quite smooth the transitions between the darker and lighter sections.

For this, I drew a beach during the nighttime. The ocean is hatching lines in multiple rows around level 4 shade, while near the middle it is a level 1 shade to show the light from the moon. The sand under is stripping, a level 3 shade. The sky is also stripping, more of a level 2, which is supposed to be the stars, with a moon. There are also trees in the sand, where the trunk is hatching and the top is scumbling, and they are both about a level 3 shade.

Before even doing this assignment, I had the idea of drawing a picture similar to this one (although not with this way of drawing). My inspiration came from the song “Dream of Sky” and eventually I integrated the idea to “let your dreams fly”. That’s why I wrote “D”, “R”, “E”, “A”, “M”, and “S” on the balloons. With the new mark-making technique that I learned, the picture seems more three dimensional. It was really fun to try out a new technique and finding it to be one of my favorite ways to draw.

If my art was hanging in a museum or gallery I would want to know that my spectators could get more out of the lines in my picture. I recognize that my picture might not seem like the most creative but it is special to me because it is a sort of collage of my favourite parts of my house. There is one point in my backyard where there is this slab that overlooks our family's pool and our lemon trees. I really like this point because it is a pretty area that reminds me of what I enjoy about my home. The candle I drew is meant to symbolize me shedding light on this area when I show this art to other people.

I drew two sunflowers for my drawing. I used 3 of the 4 mark-making techniques. To begin, the center of the sunflowers are made with a scribble pattern , or scumbling, and is the darkest part of the painting. Next, the surrounding area is made with dots, or stippling. Around this area are the petals of the flowers. The petals have two different values, as they are darker near the center and lighter on the outside. Finally, there is hatching in the grass, which also has a different value as it is darker than the flowers.
