Chess Piece

For visual art class we were learning how to do still life drawings. We all got a chess piece and tried putting all  different the value. Learning for this project was showing different values and shades. Also we learned how to  put contrast in a art piece.

I think that there is a lot of movement in the background ( with the swirls). In my opinion it makes your eyes move. Also there are so many different patterns between the black and white spots and there's balance between between the blacks and the whites. I hope you enjoyed this Chess Piece art.

    This Project the class used Adobe Illustrator. I had to chose an object that represents me. I chose a bed because my family calls me lazy( I agree with them). My lazy day is where is sit on my bed on my phone while eating something. Then I thought to myself, why not do a bed for my Illustrator logo? So I ended up doing a bed.

  

    To start off with I had to chose a photo (of a bed) on google images. The photo is chose is the first one on the top of the page.  I had to traced out the shape of the bed, so I used a tool on Adobe Illustrator called the pen tool. In my opinion it was hard to use because I've never used the pen tool before, but it was cool to try out. If you want to trace something on the computer I highly suggest using Adobe Illustrator because it has a lot of great tools for an artist project.

    

    For colouring there were many ways of we had to colour our logos. First we had to make a black and white version. Then we had to make a grey scale version. I thought it was hard trying to get the different shades of grey because for me I didn't know that there were so many shades of grey. After we had to make one with any colours we wanted. Finally we had to colour copy the outline 8-9 times and then make them all different colours. 

    

   I thought doing this project would be hard, but as I was making my way through it, everything just started getting more simple. I had fun learning about how to use Adobe Illustrator. I hope you enjoyed  My Illustrator Logo.  :)
