The Sound of Silence.

This was my Pre-AP Art final. It was inspired by the song "The Sound of Silence" originally by Simon and Garfunkel but the version that inspired me was by the band Disturbed.

This was done with white charcoal, black charcoal and an eraser. 

 Besides the eye and eyebrows the face was done entirely done by erasing into white charcoal on black paper. 

I absolutely love this piece and it now hangs in our house:) 

The Disco

I took several thirty second figure drawings, cut them out, pasted them on cardboard and added black and the rusty color. 

When I did this I saw people in pain, begging for help but it seemed that everyone else saw people dancing so I suppose its up to you. 

The Colored Girl

This piece was drawn from looking at a mirror but not looking at my paper. I then covered a glass sheet with paint and placed a different sheet over it gently. I placed the drawing on top and went over all the lines with pencil which gave me a picture with paint lines. I then added color with pastels. 

The Odd Apple

For an art project we had to take an apple and draw it in two hours. I chose to work with oil pastels which are very interesting. They are pastels, very wet but they dry like paint. I love the bright colors and abstract look this has!
