Body drawing

Our last assignments of the year all focussed around the theme of how to draw a proper body. We had to use circles and ovals to complete this task, and to be honest I was quite bad at it. In the first assignment we had to draw a few small sketches (as can be seen on the included photograph), in the second assignment we had to draw an A3 sized poster. The poster is unfortunately not included since it still has to be marked. On the first assignment there is also no mark, but I hope for a sufficient.

The I am poem

The I am poem. I can immediately say this was one of the nicest assignments of my entire 'artclass'-carreer. We started of with making a poem, which I based on Judith Leister. Then we had to write this poem (or print if you were not able to write properly) on a A3-sized paper and make some illustrations alongside the poem. The good thing about this assignment actually was the writing bit, since writing quite nice is one of the very few forms of art I quite master. This resulted in a rather unusual happening: for the first time I was not really satisfied with my mark for arts, since I had hoped for a little bit higher than a 7.5.

For the ones unable to read this inspiring text from the picture:

I am Judith Leister
I am a painter and a star.
I wonder if there is anyone as good as me.
I hear people screaming my name.
I see paint.
I want to paint.
I am a painter and a star.

I pretend nothing, because I am already everything.
I feel the brush in my hands.
I touch the sky.
I worry if I can become even better.
I cry because I am so good at painting.
I am a painter and a star.

I understand how to paint.
I say I can change the world by painting.
I dream about paint.
I try to help other people paint, but they suck.
I hope to become even more famous.
I am a painter and a star.
