Concentration #12

I've been sick so this is why this final concentration is getting posted a bit late. Its focusing on the morning weather and sunrise. I felt like I needed a very bright piece to counteract some of the darker rain pieces. 

Concentration #11

In my last few concentrations I'm trying to portray good weather, to balance out all the rain pieces in my concentration. This picture (which is sideways) is showing good, spring weather. 

Concentration #10

In this concentration I tried to convey "snow" one of the aspects of North Carolina weather that I hadn't covered yet. I outlined some of the citra-solv transfers on the left with black sharpie and I thought about outlining the trees on the right but didn't. What do yall think? 

Concentration #9

This is my 9th concentration-- depicting good, sunny weather in NC. I citra-solved multiple pictures of my house and the flowers around it and tried to duplicate the brightness of the light and the warmth of the sun. 

1 sentance Concentration

My AP Art Concentration is about exploring and emphasizing the different types of weather in central North Carolina.

We all talked in class about my concentration having more to do with weather than with just rain. I'm limiting myself a lot by just saying "rain" so I broadened my concentration to include weather in central NC. I didn't want to have my concentration be as vague as "weather" or even as vague as "weather in NC". I obviously don't want to have to do hurricanes or extreme weather in my contentration.. so I decided to concentrate on only central NC (the weather I'm most farmiliar with)... What do yall think?

Concentration #8

I did four citra solv transfers... two of which are tinted red, the other two are black and white. I drew back into the black and white with colored watercolor pencil. I'm trying to portray a rainbow through the colors being put into the black and white. I'm considering bringing the rainbow colors more into the middle and allowing the outsides to stay black and white. 

Concentration #7

"Rain is something...soothing"

I did a citrasolv transfer of a picture I took through the windshield of my car. The picture itself is very blurry and thats why I thought it would be an interesting citra-solv. The shapes of the trees, road and car came out very blotchy and, once again, tinted red. I worked back into the picture with watercolor pencils then water color. Originally I had the road extending through the sky but that looked odd. I think the blotchiness of the clouds and shapes conveys the soothingness of the rain. The shape and curve of the road also helps convey that rain is soothing.
