Still Life Series

So here are a series of Still Lives that I did during my Drawing I class. Here are mainly my "finished" pieces. *You may notice that the number on the still life start off not at 1. That is cause the still lives I posted before were probably before this*

Still Life 5
Medium: Ink
Canvas: Drawing (medium) Paper
Size: 24"x 18"

This was the first time I really used ink as a medium to create whole pieces. I have to say... it gives it a much more "illustrated" look. At least for me. These were just random objects put together by my teacher. The hard part about this... the Mirrors. Not only were they hard but you had to make it so that you can distinguish it as a reflection and not as another object. I think I completed the task about 80%. It could look more "reflection" like I think.

Still Life 6
Medium: Graphite Pencil & Charcoal
Canvas: Drawing (medium) Paper
Size: 18"x 24"

This was an assignment that we were required to take 5 objects that represents us. So I chose the following: Personal Size Pichacco Pillow, Fuzzy Slipper, Zune Player, Pencil, and a Loofa. These items I think represent my personality and me as a person best. For the pillow... it is like my "blankey." I usually have it everywhere I go to sleep. It is just so comfortable hee. Also I think I am a comfortable person to be around. I am hyper and always usually smiley. The Loofa and the fuzzy slipper was used to represent my airy and light personality. I have to say that many times I am very hyper and happy. I take things lightly and usually go with the flow. The Zune... man that is one of the most important items here. I love music... not only to listen to it... but to me its meditative. Times when I am worn out or just in a bad mood... music is always there to pick you back up. I find that it is another dimension.. a place where you can just run away for 5 minutes at a time. So definitely that is a MUST HAVE whenever I travel. And finally the pencil... which is why I have this blog and major in Art. I love to do it... it is my hobby and another door to escape reality. What items represent you? Think about it... what is most precious in your life... a MUST HAVE?

Pods Still Life 7
Medium: Ink
Canvas: Photo Paper
Size:

This was a practice piece for using ink. When we first started to use the medium, we were instructed to use a page for prep. To get used to the medium before going for the final piece. Who would have thought the practice would be a final piece for me. I really like it... what do you think it looks like? I have gotten many different answers for this. But the answer... its just a dried up stem with some dried up pods.
