My art mentor is Mark Wheeler. The type of art he designs is the experience of interaction and interference, mostly on Microsoft. Basically what that is , is simple designs on a computer that are interacting to make one whole design. Here is his digital portfolio link---https://www.bestfolios.com/portfolio/markwheeler I think I will benifit from this because his art work is easy to understand and I really get it. What I want out of this is to be able to better understand how online art works and mabye even learn it. 1. What I learned from these activities was how to control my intensity with the pencil or paintbrush and also how to make my own colors and lighten or darken them. I also learned to focus a lot more on detail then just trying to guess the placement.
2.I think defiantly the color wheel because now I know how to make specific colors when I need to when im painting and not have to spend money on different paints 😂. 3.The one I learned the most from was the textures I think. Because if I ever had to paint rocks or water I could use those techniques to make it look more realistic. It was successful because I was happy with how it turned out. 4.Some ways to make brown are green and red, orange and blue and purple and yellow. 5. The way you tone down a color is by using white. For an example if you have a blue and its to dark, you can use white to make it lighter and tone it down.

For me the most helpful warm up was definitely the upside down picasso drawing. This was the most helpful for me because I really learned how to focus on shapes more and really looking at the drawing rather then just do value. I also learned how to make the drawing look realistic with all the little details that we focused on in this warm up. And the best thing was that it was challenging because it was upside down, so we had to rely on the shapes to make the drawing and trust that we do good rather than just draw. Pen Drawing Pros - Wasn't messy like the charcoal - It was easy to use (light not hard to use) - Was darker then pencil so it looked more defined Cons - There wasn't a way I could erase if I made a mistake. - The stippling took a while Pencil Drawing Pros -If I messed up I could erase it easily and fix my mistake - I could shade a lot better and make value better - I was able to draw better without accidently smudging. Cons - I had to sharpen my pencil regularly so it took me a while to finish because I held my pencil to hard (was really annoying 😂) -When I was smudging I would sometimes do it to much and it would leave a dark mark. Charcol Drawing Pros - Was really easy to blend - Looked most realistic out of all drawings - I could erase with my hand Cons - I had a lot of white empty circles on the edges from my hands accidentally erasing. - It took a while because the charcoal was messy. - This was my first time using charcoal so it was new for me and I was confused at first. Composition- The nature of something's ingredients or constituents; the way in which a whole or mixture is made up.
Value- The relative lightness or darkness of a color. It is an important tool for the artist in the way that it defines form and creates spatial illusions. Mary Omalley , is a visual artist who recently graduated from Philadelphia university of the Arts. For the last few years her work has been focused on delicate porcelain dinnerware, including teapots , saucers and pitchers. In her art work she adds starfish, barnacles, sea like objects around the dinnerware to create a masterpiece. "I feel like i'm constantly walking the edge of disaster in creating these pieces." She says this to express how she feels when shes creating these gorgeous pieces of art. Omalley works in a barn on her parents property where she grew up in Long Island. Mary has already started to make a name for herself in craft circles with appearances at events such as Craft Americas Juried shows in Washington DC and Palm Beach. Mary Omalley has a website --- https://www.maryomalley.co.uk/ What makes Omalleys work so inspiring to me is that she uses sea creatures and sea objects in her work and I love going to the beach and the ocean is so fascinating to me so having a delicate structure with ocean creatures and objects is really amazing art work and I really love the outcome. What really draws me in is how the starfish and octopus arms come out of the vase and tea pots. It almost looks like titanic artifacts. I also really love the color contrast of white vase and purple creature parts. It reminds me of the little mermaid so much and that was my favorite childhood movie of all time. What also draws me in is how much I can relate to the artwork, it even almost looks like its treasure from the ocean.
