Yiyang Hu Prof.Robson AP Art 2/18/2019 1. What is the question guiding your art making? How can I draw chiaroscuro with white charcoal?    2. How does your artwork reflect your exploration of this question visually? I took this photo using strong lighting to add old drama. I also put chess pieces turned over to lead the eye to the plant. I used the rule of thirds and kept the plant the brightest in one spot. First, l fill the whole paper with black then l slowly built up to white highlights with white charcoal pencil. I contrasted this extreme darkness and lights for the style of older classic and mystery. 3. How did practice, experimentation, and/or revision play a role in the making of this piece? The hardest part of this piece is to draw the tiny leaves and flowers. I tried it over and over again to draw out its details.    My sketchbook  

Yiyang Hu Prof.Robson AP Art 1/30/2020 1. What is the question guiding your art making? How can I draw chiaroscuro with warm tone watercolor?    2. How does your artwork reflect your exploration of this question visually? I took a picture of my mother holding a candle in a dark room to get a strong contrast between the light and the dark. Cause I finished a black and white one before, so this time, I want to try the color one, so I edited this original photo into warm colors. And I've also blurred the details of the characters in order to focus on the character's temperament instead of highlighting her features. I used warm colors such as incarnadine, red, orange and yellow to show my mother's tenderness and love. And these colors are also made her stand out in the dark background of chiaroscuro. 3. How did practice, experimentation, and/or revision play a role in the making of this Color toning is a difficulty for this work and in or

Yiyang Hu Prof.Robson AP Art 1/20/2020 1. What is the question guiding your art making? How to draw chiaroscuro in just black and white?    2. How does your artwork reflect your exploration of this question visually?   I took a picture of my mother holding a candle in a dark room to get a strong contrast between the light and the dark. After that I edited this original photo in black and white in order to see the difference between each layer more clearly. First of all, I drew a rough outline of my mom’s face with a pencil. Then l divided the light and the darkness of  her face into three levels. The first is the brightest, the second is the medium and the third is the darkest. 3. How did practice, experimentation, and/or revision play a role in the making of this piece? Cause I only used black watercolor for the whole painting so I practice color toning on another piece of paper in order to make one color with different shades.             

Yiyang Hu Prof.Robson AP Art 12/17/2019 1. What is the question guiding your art making? How to draw the sense or form of face (light and shadow) with watercolor？    2. How does your artwork reflect your exploration of this question visually? I edited this photo in black and white so that l can see the difference between each layer more clearly.l divided the light and the darkness of my face into three levels. The first is the brightest, the second is the medium and the third is the darkest. I started by a layer with yellow watercolor, once the yellow layer has dried l added the red on it to form a contrast. l also used brown to deepen the shadow around the nose and eyes.     3. How did practice, experimentation, and/or revision play a role in the making of this piece? I practice color toning on another piece of paper so that l can make one color with different shades. Watercolor is easy to leave traces of water, so I need to pay attention to the flow direction

Yiyang  Ap Art  My sketchbook My finished piece 1) .Talk about the memory, why it was important then and why now? This picture was taken with my father in the park when I was five years old and panda is my favorite animal so it was important to me. For now this picture is a symbol of my precious childhood memory although I keep growing up but because of this picture my memory of childhood will not be blurred. So that l want to use my hands to paint to relive this childhood 2) .Talk about what was hard with this technique and what you liked. What you will change next time. For me this is a new technique the pen is hard to control and the Face shadow contrast is my main difficulty. Before l started drawing I tried and practiced several times on the paper. But I still like this technique cause the lines drawn by this technique are very fine and delicate.
