Portraits

My roommate Tenille. Every year I've wanted to draw my roommates every year and this is the first year that I've actually gotten to it.

Best friend Corey.

Painting 1

Very first oil painting EVER! We had to make a collage using plain color from magazines and then copy the color EXACTLY onto the canvas.
Yes I painted this. *LOOK AT IT UP CLOSE BY CLICKING ON IT! This is the view from my grandparents cabin deck.

*new pictures will be uploaded soon. Sadly, this one is very blurry :(

More 3D Design

Wire sculpture day: "Ok everybody, I want you all to start brainstorming ideas on what you can do your sculpture on!" *class rushes to sketchbooks, drawing quickly and shielding their ideas from the people around them* Mo sits there, staring into space, hardly aware of what is around her. Suddenly the clouds part outside, and everything brightens. Her eyes are drawn to the bright colors of the grass, and there! the fire hydrant, with it's bright red exterior and interesting shape. "No one would even imagine of doing a fire hydrant, they are too easily passed over. That's what I'm doing!" she thought to herself. Grabbing wire, and getting to work, Mo finished her wire sculpture in 2 hours flat. Alas, on critique day, Mo's sculpture was everyone's favorite, with comments like, "I never would have thought to do that!" "It's so simple, but it looks so great!" and "You made a fire hydrant look cool!"

This sculpture was made after having to break up with a boyfriend. This was my frustration in plaster. Sadly, the emotion came out more like a yawn, but it fulfilled my need to express how I was feeling.

Cardboard Chair

Cardboard chair made for my 3D class. Yes, you can sit on it, yes it's made entirely of cardboard and yes, it's awesome.

Abstract Piece

Done in my tenth grade year, this piece sits on my desk where I can see it everyday. It was my favorite piece from tenth grade, but I got a poor score because my teacher said the overlaying black and silver lines made it too busy. He did like how the shapes that are painted on give the piece depth. I'm happy with it, and I like how crazy it turned out.

Acrylic on canvas. Yarn is covered in Elmers Glue mixed with india ink to make it black. Silver pen is used. Black and white buttons are glued on.

Gum Wrapper "doodles"

The following are done with 5 gum wrappers. I peel the foil away from the wax paper stuff and press it on paper. These are each three inches in diameter. They hang on my desk above my computer so when my lamp is on, they shine :) The designs are pretty random, but I love them!






This one reminds me of a canyon at night. Can you see it?

Random Sketches

Random doodle I found on my desk today that I decided to include. Go me :)


Also done in my english class (sadly, I use that class for most of my doodling). We "read" God's Man which is a novel done entirely in woodcuts. I drew some of the faces that I liked the best from the book.

Done while talking to Jason on Skype. I got complacent with his arms and the rest of his body after I drew his shirt.
