Pen Case Assignment | Lid

January 15, 2021 - ~January 20, 2021

This is not social commentary, it's just a funny statement.

Engraved aluminum pen case lid I did in gr10 manufacturing. Didn't actually CNC machine it myself because class was online cos covid, but I toolpathed everything. The beginning of my CNC escapades.

I knew I wanted to do a dragon because that's a classic for me, but then I needed more stuff to fill the space. Me and my family were just messing around one night trying to think of something to put on it. We eventually settled on 'Vaccines are now being administered by babies' because we thought that was funny.

My shop teacher engraved all of these projects on the google meet, but for mine he did it after class because he didn't want to possibly offend someone lmao 😭.

Walk cycles of one of my lil monster guys.

I remember hating this, but it's not half bad. Especially for being the first thing I'd ever animated.

Birch tree forest I made for my sister at her request. It's been in her living room for forever ❤️

insta notes:

looks better irl 😒☺️

18x24" camvahs. will burn unless u get varnish again :D

8 1/2 hrs in total. 2 days. 6 non-consecutive hrs then the 2.5hrs consecutively the next day. 8 trees, the highlight/orange and the border=2.5 hrs work time.

+~20-30 mins (not including drying time) for varnish. 8 1/2 =/= varnished.

18x25 = ~9hrs (w this style)

Watercolour Assignment | Great Blue Heron

~December 2020

Gr11 watercolour painting assignment. Painted a great blue heron I pictured in the pond near my house.

Painted the background first, but had to lift a lot of the colour because it was too vibrant before.

I used masking tape to mask out the spots of the foreground plants, but it bled a lot and I didn't save as much of the white space as I should've.

Second image is watercolour practice I did beforehand. Used some of the tips from a watercolour art book I'd been gifted

Still Life Assignment

October 23, 2020 - November 6, 2020

Still life assignment done when school was half online-half offline. I remember my friend (who just took art to get the required arts credit) put vaseline over his camera so the teacher wouldn't be able to see that he hadn't done any work on his 💀

Had fun making this, didn't take too too long (relative to my other still lifes)

Photography Assignment

September 29, 2020 - September 30, 2020

I hated this assignment when I first did it, but I'm glad I did it. Got some good pictures out of it.

Gr10 photo assignment. Every picture was supposed to utilise a different photography element/technique but I don't remember what they were.

The last photo is from a different assignment where he took us to the forest near our school and we had to make art w the stuff in the forest. My group did some glowing nest thingy. - Oct 9, 2020

Pattern Assignment

Quick little painting ❤️

This is a canvas that i've painted a tree on 3 times. A whole repaint what was on it before to see my improvement. This is definitely the most drastic change. The first two was a tree centered in the canvas w leaves surrounded by green grass. I wish i'd taken pics of them 😭. Oh well

Painted this when me and my cousin went paint crazy at my house. Converted the table into a lil paint studio ❤️

(the pictures say it was painted in august, but I swear I thought I painted this the apr/mar of 2020)

~August 2020

Little painting using the glitch effect. It was trending on tiktok/social medias, but I remember getting incessantly annoyed at how people weren't doing it correctly.

Want to do another one of these sometime but with more colours so that the glitch effect/illusion ¿? actually works

~June 2020

Another painting I did that utilizes the peeling canvas trick.

I wasn't too happy with this when I finished, but I really like it now. It's just a fun little piece.

Redraw of a dragon chilling on earth i did wayy back when (whose location I do not know, prolly long been in the trash).

I wanted to laminate/put clear tape over this to turn it into a sticker but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Honestly i have no idea if this was actually redrawn in 2020, since I found it recently and idk if it could have survived four years in my house without being damaged at all. Oh well

Unfinished painting that was supposed to mock an inspirational quote.

Was going to consist of three canvases and overall be a very vertical painting.

DND Character Concepts

April 23, 2020 - April 24, 2020

DND character I was thinking up back when I had a friend who was rlly into DND. Was gonna be a tiefling ¿ rogue ? character. Don't remember what this guy's story was. Never got too far into it

And also me just tooling around with a metallic gold gel pen I got.

Just a little watercolour painting. I remember I was trying to get into tiktok because I'd seen that artists could get more traction there, so I made of one this painting's process. Don't got it anymore 😢

Non-traditional Art Medium Assignment | Food Colouring

April 17, 2020 - April 18, 2020

Gr 9 assignment where we had to make art out of something that's not usually used for that purpose. (inspired by the whole make coffee with art thing)

Using food colouring was kind of a cheat because it's the most paint-like thing that isn't paint

Of course included a bunch of random hands because I love drawing hands ❤️

Sketchbook Assignments | Misc

March 27, 2020 - April 10, 2020

Gr 9 sketchbook assignments. Mainly hands.

Let me just add that I'm grateful they supplied us with sketchbooks for art, but I hate the paper. Idk what medium it's meant for but it has this certain texture that makes me cringe to draw w pencil on (I also hate the feeling of it as well). It's good for pen tho

Mixed Media Assignment

~October 2020

Gr9 mixed media piece (with 4+ medias min) I ended up doing instead of the eyes. Took mixed media a bit too literally and ended up not utilizing the most fun part of mixed media - that is, using all of the media simultaneously. It's cute seeing how the style slightly changes according to the specific medium, though.

Watercolour, marker, pencil, acrylic paint, and pen on mixed media paper

April 8, 2020 - April 9, 2020

Meant to be mixed media project for Gr10 art

Only used pencil and watercolor so had to think up another thing to do for the project

The glitch effect only worked sometimes in person. Prolly gonna go back to it soon both to figure it out and cos its fun

One Point Perspective Assignment

~April 2020

I remember having a really hard time with just about every aspect of this piece. Getting the proportions of the buildings down was terrible, as was designing them. And then painting it was just a trainwreck.

Inspired by Devil town by Cavetown iirc
