Drawing in acryllics, black pen and string




I have started about a month ago a drawing for my own choice as I am planning to apply to art college, so I have been continuing it and even if I still ahve a lot of work to do, I am satisfied with how it is proceding. The drawing is based on a man in front of the Centre Pompidou who was performing a small puppet show to earn some money and I found the scene interesting so I took a picture of it and started drawing. The drawing is in black biro pen, ocre, yellow, brown, white and black acryllic paint and 5 pieces of string. Below is the actual picture and the way the drawing is proceeding:

SUMMER HOMEWORK

As part as the summer homework, I was also told to do some drawings from reality...and I am working on a portrait in biro pen of my sister, on rough paper... could I also do drawings on the architecture of a building or other interesting scenes, and not just the human figure? And since I am very confused of what to do for the EE as you may have noticed, I was probably thinking that the easiest thing was to compare to paintings or two artistic currents (for example, since I will be going in mid august in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, I could as well compare Flemish paintings of the 1600's_for examples Johannes Vermeer_ with Italian paintings of the same period)

I just had an amazing idea better than all the others. 4 years ago I visited Slovenia and Croatia during my summer vacations and with my family, we also visited the city of Dubrovnik, famous Croatian port, destroyed in 1991 due to the war in Kossovo to conquer independence. Now people are reconstructing the historic centre of the city, and trying to protect what's left from the damage. Therefore, a title could be ' Protection of artistic heritages after war situations'.

EE- continued

Unfortunately I am unable to go to Athens since my friend living there is spending her holidays in another country, therefore, I was thinking I could probably visit the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence and the Basilica di San Francesco alla Rocca in Viterbo. Otherwise, I will try to come up with other ideas. What really attracts me is Impressionism, it would've also been interesting to compare it with another artistic current by actually visiting art museums and art galleries.

Youth



Youth. One of the two main themes I will be exploring this summer for my new project. Below, is a picture I took from my IWB of the face of a baby (awwwwwww) and a young teenager listening to music:
