The art event I attended on Wednesday, December 6th displayed students' work over the whole semester. We talked to professor of the class (I forget the exact name but it was an upper level art course) who said this final project was a result of the students' different assignments throughout the semester. The assignments had to do with the human form and various ways to interpret. Two assignments I remember him discussing was the human form as a machine. That part of the project is easily recognizable in the skull in the first picture. I took pictures of these two projects because they were exceptionally well done. The detail in each of them is perfect. The wing specifically in the second image has incredible lines that give that feathery texture and makes it look like the wing is fluttering. In the second image, I thought the artist did a great job with the dripping foot. They excellently captured the "glimmer" effect that water or any liquid gives to an object. The differing shades of pencil work well to communicate the covering of the foot in liquid. I thought in the first image, the right leg (anatomically speaking, you can also say the "left" leg if you are looking at in this image) was intricately done. When I first saw it, I thought it was just defined muscles. But looking closer there is no foot: the leg is meant to resemble a tree root. The use of only one color works nicely here because it allows for a better appreciation for the detail; the torn look at the top of the leg and the tangled bottom roots looks very realistic. I was glad I went to this even in particular because it was students' work which I appreciate because this must have taken them hours while balancing other school work.
