Bryan



You really connected with your inner abstract artist in these sketches, Bryan!!! Fantastic use of horizontal and vertical lines, similar to the artist Piet Mondrian. And your angled lines and oval shapes are a wonderful take on the artist Kandinsky. I can see the influence of Picasso in your cubist drawing. Nice compositions, man!

EXCELLENT cross-hatching technique on the man's face, Lizette!!! Nice job on capturing the contour edges of his face and laying done some really clean line work for shading. And your abstract composition, inspired by Kandinsky is VERY well drawn. Be fun to see what you're submitting for the Student Show. :-)

Johnny



Nice to have you in class, Johnny! We've gotta get you drawing more, Johnny! Using examples of the abstract artist, Wassily Kandinsky, you put together a powerful composition!!! I like the balance between the curved and angled lines and shapes. The gray tones are a really nice touch, too. Keep it going! :-)

Hey, man! You've got some VERY cool work happening here, Oliver! Great cross-hatching line work on the man's face, especially showing the form of the lips and cheeks. Excellent landscape sketch--I'd REALLY like to see you do more of this kind of work... student show, maybe? You got into some fantastic abstract drawings, too! Ready for the Student Show?

Eduardo & Erik

Eduardo


You've made excellent progress in drawing from imagination and observation, Eduardo!! Cool abstract/surreal work inspired by the artist Joan Miro. Nice use of color and gray tones. Great start on the cross-hatching drawing of the man. And the sketch of the skull is a very interesting direction with your imagination and observational skills.

Erik


Excellent job of focusing on the cross-hatch technique in this drawing, Erik!!! Nice work in defining the area of the cheek and mouth by overlapping angled lines. The proportions of the man's face are very well drawn.
