For this practice we had to use different colored chalk pastels to practice and create different shapes.I did a sphere with blues and purples and a cone with reds and oranges. For the final piece of chalk pastels we had to do a different fruit and vegetable than the colored pencil. I chose to do a pumpkin. I think it was harder to make it look realistic with chalk pastels than with colored pencils.

5. Explain how your knowledge and creating practice studies with value and pattern contributed to the success of your piece.My knowledge of working with pen and ink definitely grew from doing the practice assignments in class. The one that really helped was wrapping the textures around the cylinder because the lampposts in my picture were round. They helped me understand how to add value and wrap a pattern around a shape which helped the final outcome. 6.When applying the pen and ink/pattern techniques why and how is it important to make sure you understand the concepts taught in class?The concepts we learn in class allow us to practice adding value and shading with pen, such as wrapping a pattern around an object. Shading and adding value is difficult but the practices in class helped better understand the techniques before starting the final. 7.As a growing artist how do you think what you have learned will guide and better your future projects. Explain.As a growing artist I think I will spend more time from now on, on the compositional sketches because it makes a big difference. The way you look at a picture and crop/center it can make a difference. I also think I would do more sketches in the beginning and better plan my piece before starting. 8.If you could recreate your piece what would you do differently to enhance your final outcome?I would add more value to the lantern part of the post. I would try to make it look more lit up and realistic. For this part of the warm up we drew different shapes on different colored papers with different colored pencils. I used blue, pink, and purple on grey paper; different shades of green and yellow on the black paper and shades of pink and purple on the brown paper. To make the colors more vibrant you have to layer the colors. For the final piece of colored pencils, we had to draw a fruit or vegetable. I drew a green apple with the highlights and shadows. To add depth I used blues, browns and purples to deepen the darker parts. I used yellow and white to highlight the lighter areas.
