Fourth Quarter Project

I've been having a lot of trouble deciding what I want to do fourth quarter. I know it has something to do with acting. It needs to as I need begin training for college auditions next year and for professional acting. I have had many moments of acting naturally the past year but I need to make sure I do that all the time. Part of my problem is, I have no idea how to do that. The times I have done it, I have no idea what I was doing. So, for fourth quarter, I need to figure out what I was doing so I can do it each time I have to act.
For STAC Art, I know what I'm doing. I'm doing drip/splatter paintings. I am practicing on a smaller scale first and then I will purchase a large canvas and make the painting on a larger scale. I'm not sure what size I'd like yet but I still have sometime to figure it out.

Fourth Day of Charcoal Drawings

This day I was experimenting drawing my face with charcoal drawings. I got easily distracted and started drawing faces I felt were more interesting/entertaining to draw. I'd say my favorite one is the face in the middle row farthest to the left. Why you may ask? I don't know. That's the face my eyes are drawn to first. He doesn't look very amused and looks like death in a sense. This was probably one of my favorite days of charcoal drawings; drawing silly faces was quite entertaining.

Third Day of Charcoal Drawings

This day I only had time for one charcoal drawings but this is probably one of my favorites. Ever have that feeling where someone is watching you? I get that feeling all the time and this drawing represents that. Often times, you cannot tell who is watching you or from where so I decided to draw one giant eye that constantly has a vision of everyone all the time. There are certain areas to avoid this line of sight and others where you fall directing into "the trap."

Second Day of Charcoal Drawings

 The charcoal drawing to the left was an experiment I had. I noticed that I could use the charcoal residue on my fingers to make fingerprints and I really loved this idea. I rolled with it and ended up creating a stampede type of image just by using my fingerprints. This charcoal drawing was especially fun because I was able to simply press my fingers into a piece of paper rapidly and have this interesting pattern turn up.





This charcoal drawing to the right using a similar style. I continued using fingerprints to indicate a person's movement. This drawing represents the various paths people have in life and how there are some obvious options you can take but there are less obvious options that people do notice but don't take because it's a path that hasn't been explored before and sometimes people don't want to risk treading new waters first.

First Charcoal Drawing

This is one of my first three charcoal drawings. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find the other two. The first three drawings revolved around a similar scheme of weather. Weather severely effects my mood and when I drew this some weeks ago, there was constantly snow or rain. Quite frankly, I was getting sick of it so I decided to use the frustration I had from the irritating weather and put on paper for my first ever charcoal drawings.
