This piece is an interpretation of another set of objects that we drew. We were told that we could repeat any of the objects (a tall, china par, a fat, clay jug with a handle, a normal glass cup, and white, paper boxes) as many times as we wanted. We could also mix up the textures, give everything movement, but we were required to give everything volume. I put the texture of the glass on the jug and the texture of the jug on the jar. Good times!)
These lovely little climbing tools come from Juan Ignacio´s house. They take little cylindrical pieces of lead with thin loops of cable (that they make themselves in the molds seen below) and, when they are up on the mountain and can´t find any other piece of gear to fit into a strange crack, they hammer these into the shape that they need and place the gear!

A little bit of what I´ve been doing here in Spain over break: reading this cool science magazine, finishing commentaries on spanish texts for Spanish class, and using those three dictionaries to help me do it! The magazine is fun, but the commentaries get a little tedious.
A store in Malaga!:
Posters in downtown Malaga notifying about the upcoming bull fights:
Bull fights: an interesting topic that strikes up a lot of controversy in Spain right now. The youth are almost unanimously opposed to the bull fighting, but many adults still honor this tradition. It doesn´t hurt that these fights bring in a lot of cash from tourists either. I´ll devote another entry to this topic.

ReplyDeleteIt's called Hakuna Matata?!?! Are all of you're drawings in charcoal?

Not all of my drawings are in charcoal, but a vast majority are! This is because I have three art classes: one where we only draw objects with charcoal, another where we learn how to use all sorts of paints, do collage, and mixed media, and a third class where we go paint the walls of the school and other random stuff, like stamps. Another stamping project and a few watercolors should be coming up soon. Although I consider my charcoal drawings the most classic form of drawing that I do and am frequently pleased by the outcomes, my favorite projects are usually those done in watercolor.
ReplyDeleteNeat!
