I
did a two dimensional painting using colored pencils on a blank sheet of paper. This project took my nearly two hours, which were incredibly exciting and satisfying. I painted two bridges over a vast landscape filled with beautiful mountains and scenery. There is a river in my painting, and two women standing on the bridge are the focal points. One is farther away than the other, who is quite near. There are two deer, drinking from the river. One is close and the other one is far away.I think that this project took less than the amount of effort I expected. As I painted, all the requirements of this assignment seemed to fall into place. I felt like I knew the requirements by intuition, it just goes to show, one must practice to learn. I love painting and have always done so since a very young age. I found out that without knowing the requirements of “realness” (shadowing, linear perspective, etc) I used to unknowingly paint just right, just by observing nature and other art.I did, however, find a challenge when it came to paining the foreground a different color than the background. It took me a long time to decide what object would actually have such an effect implicitly, without being too obvious. I finally decided on mountains, since they can be seen from far away as blending into the shade of the sky while in close up, they look like their natural color. I gained a respect fro painters as I found this link between art and study, and that art isn’t all painting. It is actually observing nature and events and copying them down, like documenting a fact or story in history. I now think that art is a very rewarding field filled with science, math, philosophy, psychology, culture and geography. I find that art is observations, observation of scientific concepts, applications of mathematical phenomena, etc. Personally, I find painting easier than sculpting because I feel like while painting, I can simply copy down a picture, rather than having to shape the picture based on what I see. Sculpting requires focus on both the subject being copied and the object being sculpted. Also, in painting, one can reverse accidental damage more easily than if one was sculpting. According to me, because of the hard work and exhaustion associated with sculpting, I find it more admirable. I value paintings more though, since I think I can “connect” with it better than I can with a sculpture.
