11-12 Adventure 12!
We did these at the end of the day so I was rather brain dead at that point and wasn't fully feeling like doing it. Not my favorite but could have went worse. :)
11-12 Adventure 10!
In these two we explored the difference that a warm and cool background makes. The first one obviously has a cool background which recedes back causing the subject to pop forward. The second one with the very warm background is more chaotic because the background is battling with the subject. It would work better if the subject wasn't predominately warm as well.
11-12 Adventure 9!
Shell series in oil
I am now the only comuter in my painting class so I could not stay after and paint the fruit still life he had wanted us to do for homework. So I decided upon painting my favorite shell instead. The first one is of lipstick and another shell as well. The second includes the part of celery no one likes. The last one includes some other small shells. There is a mixture of brush and palate knife marks used. The first one has linking colors theme about it. The second uses the celery as steps almost to reach the shell.

11-12 Adventure 8!
Joe Bob's Notes 4!
Hardboard: Compressed Wood.
Plywood: Birch Faced, oak, popple.
Hardwood: Fibers going up and down
Gesso!
COVER FRONT AND BACK AND ALL SIDES!
If the back isnt also covered the painting can bulge out from the humitiy.
If the sides are not covered the humitiy can get in and end up cracking the painting.
Gesso one direnction then the other on another layer.
DO NOT USE PINEFACE! it will not last.
When the wood looks like the inner part of the rings it will warp.
Make sure to sand it before hand and do NOT blow off the dust because it will be in the air and is band to inhale.
Sand front and back.
You can use oil on top of acrilic paints but NEVER the other way around!

Joe Bob's Notes Phase 3!
THE EYE!
Your Frontal View reads circles and Arcs while the Peripheral view recognizes horizontal and vertical lines faster.
Movement in painting is key to keeping the eyes attention.
When painting..take lots of breaks because the eyes can become numb to colors.
Large paintings use the peripheral vision.
You can direct emphasis on a color by putting certain colors surrounding it. That is something called Symotanias Contrast.
Optical Mixing: instead of mixing to a color, try placing colors together so it mixes in the eye.

11-12 Adventure 6!
Joe Bob's Notes Phase 2!
Compositions.
-The use of Simplicity can be very helpful. Too much can strain the eyes and simplicity makes the point clear and emphasised.
-Closure: The eye automatically completes shapes when there is most of it in place. A circle for example can still read a circle without even being connected.
-Recognizable: Sometimes you have to avoid unintentional symbols or it could turn the focus.
-Attraction/Contrast
-Size: "Noticing a spider on the wall" Sometimes if something is too big it will read as a background.
-Placement: The eye tends too focus on the middle and top left corner. (at least at first)
-Do not only put things in the middle. You want the viewer to be directed throughout the entire composition.
-Concauity/Convexity: Concauity means "out" and convexity means "cave". You can use this to make something feel advancing or receding.

11-12 Adventure 4!
Amber and Jessie's Summer Photo-Shoot!:D Wooooo!!!:D
I love the tense feeling in the fingers and the shadows. I like that the emphasis is on the fingers by cutting out the eyes. It gives off a creepy vibe which is my favorite:)
This one also has that vibe. The light comes up from underneath which is a usually unflattering angle but it creates wonderful interesting shadows.
I like the seriousness in her eyes. Eyes are the window to the soul. And that is exactly what I see when looking at this. There is a nice connection between viewer and subject. The light is once again coming from underneath creating a lot of shadows.
I have a tendency to find the littlest of things to be my favorite. In this case that rings true because my favorite part if this picture is the texture on the wall in the upper left corner. I also like how only half of the face is shown while the other is engulfed in shadows.
I love her makeup in this one. There is little shadows so everything is shown. The black lines I find to be beautiful. The color in the stripe goes against the way of the other lines and it leads you through more of the picture. The photo is also very asymmetrical.
This one I obviously made the eyes fully black.I wanted to have a sort of alien-like look about it. The face has a soft yellow, blue and violet tone about it and it contrasts with the darkness of the eyes.
The photo is asymmetrical. The eyes match the strap on the shirt. The eye shadow matches the lips.
There is definitely a sadness about this picture. I was warned that having the eye and makeup match is a bad idea because it ends in a toned down all over color. But I sort of wanted that effect. If the photo is meant to have a sad vibe then there should be little life. The shadows create interesting shapes.
cute! ^-^
I usually tend not to have photography where the eyes have direct contact with the viewer however I am very glad that I did in this instance. This photo is very asymmetrical and off balanced. There is dark negative space on the right.
This photo is very creepy with how dark it is. The hand creates tension. You can barely see the eyes. The shadows run together with the eye liner, hair shirt and hands. The head is very in the middle with the hand still throws the balance off.
This photo like many before it has an asymmetrical balance. I especially like the likes in the back. Half the face is in shadow and the other half is well lit.
This one has a warm tone to it and again half of the face is in shadow. I absolutely love how the light passes through the eye on the left.
I like the blue tones that is consistent through out the photo.I also like the little bursts of pink.
I have some other photos with this concept of finding the light in the dark. It seems to be a concept I cling to. This photo treats light as something very delicate because most of it is dark.
