DAT Projects...

I figured for the mean time, why not show off some past work?

One of my last month's classes was DAT ( Design Art and Theory ). This class focused on the fundamentals of art and what makes an interesting composition. We got a portfolio case with pencils, a sketch pad, colored pencils, markers, erasers, a ruler, brushes, acrylic paints, and lots more. We were encouraged to go crazy, get gritty and pratice some raw art.

Our first project was some basic drawing exercises -

Messy conte crayons!



Value Study... some parts of her face are messed up but pretty good for never really drawing a face before -


Then we moved onto some perspective practice... I could've used more time to shade this:


Then we moved onto some painting practice. Painting is definitely something that I found a little intimidating as I've never really tried it. I used really basic colors and just exercised brush strokes, textures, color composition, and other simplistic elements. I'd like to try painting again for sure...
Our final project was to develop a concept into a real product. Using whatever we wanted, we had to come up with a product, and market it using packaging, a poster, and a brochure ( I gave it to the teacher ). I probably could've developed this idea a bit more , but whatever, I like the skull :)
