My favorite and most successful project this year is my architectural tile of the cathedral. Even though it took a long time and needed lots of detail, I think it came out the best. I like how the cathedral is gold with rub n’ buff and then the background is painted black. I personally think I grew the most from the value study we did using conte crayon at the beginning of the year. I did a skeleton foot, and I learned a lot from the different values within it using conte crayon. I think doing the conte crayon study helped with my charcoal drawing of the Boston Public Library, because I used a lot of white mixed with black to create value and depth within the architecture of the place, which I never really challenged myself with in such a way before that. I think any piece of my artwork that involves Boston reflects me as an artist because I identify with it, and it’s kind of a theme in my artwork. I enjoyed this course a lot, but I wish I spent more time on my concentration earlier in the year.
