Hello!!

Well, I made it (barely) to the end of this goal. I put in way too much time on these final two drawings; I hope that they display the effort I put into this process. I have learned a lot over the course of this journey, and I hope you have enjoyed following along with me. I recently switched my workspace into a new room in my house, and I added a sit-stand desk and an easel to support my artistic endeavours. The two drawings that I have chosen for this are two that I am quite proud of, and I hope that the pride shows in the final product.

My new art station.

This inquiry has taught me as much about myself as it has about art, and I feel that I will be a better teacher because of it. So, here are my final two drawings of this semester; I hope you enjoy looking at them because I had a lot of fun completing them.

This is my Pencil Crayon drawing of Pickle Rick from the cartoon Rick and Morty. You can see the process of creation in these pictures, below is the fished full colour drawing.

Pickle Rick! This is my completed pencil crayon rendition of my favourite character. I am pleased with the result, and I feel that it is a great example of my growth.

Pennywise. This is my pencil sketch of Pennywise, the clown from the movie IT. IT was one of the first Stephen King books that I ever read, and although it haunted my dreams for years, it kickstarted my Stephen king fandom, which I have enjoyed immensely over the last 30 years.

Way back in my original post I listed my sub-goals for my artistic goal:

  • 3A. Find an online course to work on my art skills
  • 3B. Make blog posts that connect personal art skills to my pedagogy
  • 4C. Create multiple pieces of visual art to showcase my progress.

I am proud to say that I accomplished all I wanted to for this process. I hope you enjoyed going along with me.
