This project was VERY rushed to say the least. I did this over snow days and spent not even a full two days on it before I had to turn it in to the contest. I wish I could have had the full month to work on it, since I feel like it would have turned out more to my liking. For a last minute project I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out. My favorite parts are definitely the top red part and the glass part of the gumball machine. Let me tell you, drawing countless spheres for hours is surprisingly exhausting. The first thing I did after I finished this was take a nap because my eyes were just that tired. I think all my hard work on the glass really paid off in the end, however. I feel like that part actually looks like a realistic gumball machine, and I'm really proud of how I drew the reflectiveness of the glass. The actually "body" of the gumball machine I am not particularly happy with. I feel like the red metal on this part doesn't feel cohesive to the red on top, but that could just be my perfectionism kicking in. I think if I go back and spend a little more time on it I might be able to make it more to my liking, but for now I think it's good enough. And then we get to the metal. I can not draw metal to save my life, and this part was the last part I did on the drawing. AKA, I got lazy. I think I could have definitely worked a little bit more on this part, and that maybe if I'd started out with the metal, I might be more pleased with the outcome. Overall, I think I did pretty well with this assignment. It was definitely good to get some more practice with Prismas, and these colored pencil challenges might be something to try doing next semester when I don't have an art class. As stressful as it was, I think this project will definitley be beneficial to my skills in the long run.

A Little InfoThis page is all of my art from Art Four, which I took my junior year of high school. The main goal of this class was to begin collecting pieces that I can potentially add to my AP Portfolio at the end of Senior year. During this class I created some of my favorite pieces, and also one of my least favorite (I'm looking at you, adirondack chair painting). I'll be retaking this class in the fall of senior year to add more pieces to learn and grow even more, and create more potential portfolio pieces. Archives
