Our assignment was to make a portrait of someone. The background for this was originally another artwork that I had made a few years ago. I didn't really like it, so I re-did it and added collage and layers of paint to change it. Then, I painted the girl on top and added colored pencils and oil pastels. I'm not completely finished with this piece, because I still want to add more details to make the girl more realistic.Niara Parkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12454876813095063903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139485604984605292.post-78528166508035269552010-11-03T19:48:00.000-07:002010-11-03T19:52:50.139-07:00Classroom Still life<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWOQ0gqvO0LLblPMh20SQw83DwEIdqeakNhryqmYfhG1pXna9p0SM9vpPLQ9A5nHMcGVKrHttOidG0kRTo2ph0wSu5b929c5ouOqFXK8ebN08wWPOKh5PL5f855hjHeQ6v9GJGQvjkqUA/s1600/9723905.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 223px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWOQ0gqvO0LLblPMh20SQw83DwEIdqeakNhryqmYfhG1pXna9p0SM9vpPLQ9A5nHMcGVKrHttOidG0kRTo2ph0wSu5b929c5ouOqFXK8ebN08wWPOKh5PL5f855hjHeQ6v9GJGQvjkqUA/s320/9723905.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535521232100456834" /></a>This was our first project that we did in class.
