For the Nature Vs. Mechanical project I had a hard time coming up with ideas at first. I knew that I didn't want to do something that other people have done a lot before, and randomly came up with the idea to do a jellyfish. I started out by drawing a jellyfish realistically (top) and I decided that this idea was definitely the way for me to go. When I started the final piece I was struggling to incorporate the mechanical elements into it. I decided that chains and electrical cables would make the jellies look much more mechanical, while still keeping the color scheme I wanted. I also made them all roughly the same shape and size to make them seem factory-made and mechanical in that sense too. I wish I had varied the size a little bit because it would have made a more interesting composition, but I think the monotony in the size gives a sort of eerie effect, which I really like. This project was the first real project I tried with Prismacolor pencils and I think I learned a lot about blending and color because of it. I can definitely see myself using Prismas more in the future. I'm really pleased with how this project turned out, and I think it really helped me grow as an artist. Not only did I go out of my comfort zone with medium, but I had to think more creatively about the subject matter itself.

A Lil InfoThis is all of my art from Art Three, which I took second semester of my second year of high school. In this class I had the most laid back art teacher I've ever had before, and I really took that opportunity to explore different styles, subjects, and mediums. When my teacher moved mid-semester and we got a substitute who has been through art school and worked as an illustrator, it was a really awesome learning experience, and I found myself growing as an artist even more.
