The Audrey Douglas Show

Hey everybody, welcome back to the Audrey Show! If you got my awesome tag, that means you won! Congrats! Here's your lovely present: You should definitely take art with Miss Burke. I was lucky enough to have art throughout the whole year, and because of that I learned some great skills. My favorite project was in the second semester and it was my cover assignment for my art journal. I got to use many composition techniques. I got to use overlapping, cropping and color. I got to learn many skills I know will be useful in the future and throughout my life.

Kate's Natural Explorations

Hello my name is Kate Pilcher. I am a student in Ms. Burke's painting and drawing class. In my free time I love to explore the natural world and create paintings and drawings. Most of my artwork is inspired by the natural world and previous vacations. Pictured below are a few of my paintings and drawings that I have worked on in school and at my house. The folder with the jellyfish was my favorite assignment because I loved how it turned out. I used watercolor on the background to try to create the look of water in the ocean and decided to use pens to draw the jellyfish. The other drawings I drew at my house using techniques I learned in art class.




Ellie Roberts... The beauty in everything

Hi! This is Ellie Roberts and this is my journal cover! I think this is the artwork that reflects me the most that I have done. I love flowers, nature, fun lettering, and colorful patterns and designs. The quote on the back is very important to me because it is easy to see the beauty in flowers, but it is harder to find the beauty in the vines. This is why I wrote the saying in the vines between the flowers. Overall, I love this artwork and think it reflects me and my personality!

Master of Value Drawing Jack Leftridge


Hello my name is Jack Leftridge,
       
        You can probably guess this is my drawing, I did this with, mechanical pencil and blended the shades by smearing the page with a tissue. This was a project, that we worked on in art class and  that I felt proud of? I don't know,  that was the assignment. Even though it was what we were working on in art class,
 Mrs. FR, I spent a good amount of time working on it in you'r class. therefore, I should probably let you see what I worked on.

Estefan Moreno Graffiti Artist


Hello my name is Estefan Moreno one project we had to do in art was to make a cover for our art journal. Surprisingly it was actually fun i got to show some of the things I like in life.....Graffiti. The giant symbol in the middle if your wandering means fire in Japanese and the A to the right of it means anarchy. It also shows a new graffiti artist i found to like Robbo it was a fun experience in art learning new techniques in class.  I hope the students next year who take art have as much fun as I did.

Antonia Zouridakis's Musical Color

     Hi! My name is Antonia Zouridakis. Our first major project in art class was to create our own journal covers! We had to make our covers reflect our personality.  These would be the journals where we would put and make all of our artwork. My favorite part of the assignment was that we started with basically a blank canvas and we could do anything with it. We could make it whatever we wanted it to be. For my cover I wanted to incorporate my two favorite things: music and art. For the background I put sheet music on the journal and then I splatter painted it to make it look super colorful. I added a great quote that I found and on the back I added theatrical masks because I also love theatre!

Sydney... traveling through the world of art

Hey! My name is Sydney Shannon, this is my favorite piece of Art that i have done this year because it reflects me. It reflects me because I love to travel and wanting to see the world is what I would like to do most when I get older. news things that I learned while making this piece of art is learning how to collage many pictures together, I also learned how to blend watercolors; GreenBlue, and Purple (AKA Cool colors). I really enjoyed making my journal cover because I could express my love for traveling around the world and seeing famous monuments in the world.
