COLORED PENCILS: Personal Theme

The class continued working on their drawings exploring a personal theme. These drawings will be critiqued on Monday.
Dylan
 Dylan has created a pop surrealist image of cosmic desserts and interstellar birdies. This humorous display of his subconscious is well balanced with repeating shapes as well as colors. "Everyone knows the moon is made of cheese."
Jesse
 Jesse has created a very bold composition by engaging with all four sides of the paper. Notice the triangulated rhythms between the blue, rectilinear forms and the spheres.
Judy
Judy has also entered the realm of Pop Surrealism with her rendition of "Mr. Potato Head consulting his dog." She has skillfully addressed the value and color patterns observed across the forms. The layering of colors (notice the reds and oranges within the brown) is similar to "glazing" techniques in painting which adds depth and luminosity to the forms rather than flat, "cartoonish" qualities.
