evaluation for pencil and pen art attempts.

I have done 2 pieces of work one that is pencil the other that is pen and they are in my sketchbook, honestly i think that my piece of work that i did in pen which was an attempt to re create slavador dali's (elephants), was allot better than my piece of work done in pencil. i have never been a very good artist but i did try my best and produced 2 pieces of work which are differnet medias. i feel as if i did well at copying the style of salvador dali in my pieces of work, but what i didnt do well is do it with allot of detail as i lack the skills to do so.

pen art

brainstorms, bullet points, initial concepts

Brainstorms are used to put ideas and sub ideas on paper so you can refer back to it for more ideas, they are clever ways of putting down points but a weakness would be that they are abit messy and sometimes hard to read. also with a brainstorm it is a very easy way of puting ideas down on paper and it can be messy and informal. bullet points are used to draw attention to a points quickly and effectivley, aswell as that, unlike brainstorms bullet points only focus on key information, where as brainstorms have every possible bit of information whether it be key or not.

brainstroms can be used to generate ideas very well because almost every possible idea is put down on paper to refer back to when ever it is needed. bullet points generate ideas well because they show the main ideas and the important ones, so there is no waste information which isnt considerd as needed.

reference in art and design

In art and design reference is an important part of how good a piece of work is, many artists use reference it is almost like building a house, you wouldnt build a house without plans would you? well its the same concept in art and design and many inexperianced artists forget this aspect as the more reference is done and worked on the better the art or design will be. for example with this 3D model of a camera the person who made this would not have done this from just memory alone, they would have used pictures of the real thing as reference to make their work more accurate.
Gothic drawings and art show a very dark almost jagged form and have a corralation between each other, being that they are portrayed to be very symetrical and have mass amounts of detail in them. Also chruches started to incorprate gothic styles into the build and fabricating of their churches. 

Renaissance is another example of how an art style influenced a cluture or a religion. renaissance influenced religion when artists in italy which














very often mythology can influence art and design such as greek mythology influencing lots of art. for example bottacelli's famous art piece La nascita di Venere which is derived from greek mythology.alsolots of other myths and stories have influenced art in many ways. such as the picture below which shows many illistrations of greek mythology done by an artist.

ARTISTS

Salvador Dali: 

I enjoy Salvador Dial's work because it is weirdly surreal and very interesting.You always see something different every time you look at one of his paintings, like pictures in shadows, foreground and background, and in general there are hidden faces and relevant objects everywhere.

 This is an exaample of some concept work for fallout 3 which was done by Adam Adamowicz who also did art for skyrim aswell as fallout new vegas and fallout 3. but this is some rough work from fallout 3 that he did.

this is some more work he did for skyrim that is awesome concept art by the same guy. in my opinion the work here is at a very proffesional standard and shows allot of detail added which has been encorprated into the game

materials, techniques and processes in art and design

this is an example of painting that has been made using ink. most of these paintings are very unique and are allot sharper than watercolours. a strength of ink paintings is that they are more permenant than most other methods of painting but a weakness is that it costs allot more than other paints.

*this is an exapmle of the use of water colours to create a painting. notice how many parts the painting are very pale and blended. a strength of watercolours is that they are relatively cheap and blend very well, many artists prefer watercolours. a weakness of water colours is that they can fade away gradually unless preserved properly.

 this is a piece of art that is drawn by pencil almost every artist draws in pencil or at the very least uses it as an outline this is because pencils are a very accurate form of art which is a strength. a weakness of pencil art is that it is very time consuming.

this is an example of pen art notice how there is great detail in it but unfortuanatly it takes allot of time to make pictures in as much detail as this but a positive is that it is cheap and you only need a biro.
