Carrots, Carrots, and More Carrots

These are some of my Mini-Folio drawings for my Art 2 class. I need to update them with the Conte Crayon, Charcoal, and Litho Crayon drawings that I did. My final is in Conte Crayon.  

Small Victories (The Name Tag)

This is my Name Tag. Sorry for the cut off edges. The top says "Susan DeRoche - Studio Art/Art 2." The bottom says "Take the small victories as they come, and EMBRACE them. - EYPM." That quote... Means so much to me. I think about what Erik said to me every time I feel sad. It doesn't necessarily cheer me up 100% of the time. But it sure does make me stop and look at things. I post that quote anywhere I can to remind myself of what he's done for me. Because at this point, if he stops talking to me, gets mad at me, moves away, ect. I won't rip it down or anything. I'll take the times we had as a great, great victory. And I'll embrace it.

Art 2, Studio Art, and Bunnies

I finally started school, and I have the two most awesome classes for 80 minutes on Thursdays. Studio Art, and Art 2. I'm so excited for my little work space that I have all to myself! I get to decorate, and everything... Just go all out. Right now, I'm drawing a name tag that has giant white lips on black paper. On the bottom lip, I'm going to make it seem as if "SPeaK" is inked into her lip. I've started coloring the teeth and all the works, but I won't be finished until at least tomorrow. I'll have to post pictures. ;D
Art Two, we're doing the basics. One point perspective. I did that in 8th grade, and I remember a lot of it. I'm actually suprised as to how much  I remember. But my best friend is in that class. So I get to chit chat while drawing. Hoorah! I'm excited about this class too. But ... Sadly not as much as Studio Art, haha.
I made a new blog again! ( I deleted AP art blog. Because I didn't do ANYTHING in my sketchbook ). But nonetheless, I have a blog for my art on Bunny Kingdom ( Bunnykingdom.net ) now. I'll be posting some art that I make for other bunnies ( users ) on there. You can find it here.

Hope to see anyone that passes by! (:

Finished Cubism Portrait

 This is my most recent portrait that I have completed for my Art 1 Class. It was a 2-3 week long project with Tempera or Acrylic paint, which I chose Tempera. Everyone in the class had to choose between four concepts: Cubism (Which I chose), Pop Art, Expressionism, and I just can't remember the last one. I know it was little squares with individual painting inside all of the boxes. I know that the person someone studied for that would be Chuck Close. Oh well. I was so scared to cut up this painting. Because I was running out of time, and it was my only painting. But I'm glad I did. It worked out well.
Fact: When you tell someone in your class that you're going to cut up your painting, and they don't know that you're doing a form of cubism, they will flip out. D:

New Art Supplies!

So I was just minding my own business in Art Class, when Mrs. Bickford suddenly wants the class's attention. So I'm just chillin' and she tells the class about how I won... Another... Art contest.
I ended up winning Best 3D Art for the Art show that was going on in my school. The prize I got for it? 25$ To the Arts And Craftsman Supply in South Portland. (OmgHappyness)
I kept forgetting to tell my mom that I won it... Which isn't a surprise, I hate bragging about winning stuff. Makes me feel uncomfortable. Might need to get over that though. Just a thought. Eventually, when I did tell her, we were going out anyways. So we swung by the store and I spent about an hour in there just looking around. God, I was so invigorated. All the people there thought just like me. It was a slap happy butt smacking good time. :D
I bought Woodless Colored Pencils, 7 Faber Castell Inking Pens, and a new sketchbook. I have to say, I think Woodless Colored Pencils are the best things since sliced bread.
Thanks to everyone who Voted, and the Westbrook School Department for my wonderful monies. ;D

The Gourd

Well this is the gourd that I won 3rd place with. Took a while for me to post this due to some personal delays. Photo credit goes to my art teacher,  Mrs. Bickford and her blog.  
 

Letting Go Of The Canada Goose

This is a pretty sad moment for me. I'm finally sending out my Canada Goose drawing for the Junior Duck Stamp Competition. I spent pretty much all over second quarter, and half way through third on this project. There is literally, a stack of practice papers probably the size of my pinky. It's absolutely ridiculous. I'm going to miss you, my Canada Goose. I know I've called you a duck a million times, but that doesn't mean I don't love you! </3
Well, this is him. I'm  sending him out pretty soon here. So I took a picture. <3
