My Mentor was named Lyra. Lyra preferred making drawings or doing 3-D art. Her website is lyracreativeartsquare.weebly.com. This meeting was beneficial for me because I got to learn tricks about different art techniques and we talked about how if you just keep at your artwork you'll improve over time. We also talked about what we would do in the upper level art classes if we choose to take them.

PenPencil
charcoalWarm-upThe pen cubes were the most helpful warm-up because it was a good way to teach us of the different styles of pen techniques. It also gave us a reference page that we can use whenever we do pen drawings in the future.
DefinitionsComposition can be defined as something that is made up of multiple elements or ingredients to create a final product such as a color. Value is the level of darkness or lightness you draw a certain color to give the picture more meaning.
Pros-ConsPen was probably the easiest of the drawings to draw and it was the less messy one. The pen drawings were able to look very realistic, the main problem was just that it takes a long time to achieve detail. Stippling takes a long time if your whole drawing has to be stippled. The pencil drawing was realitively easy and it was fun to learn about different values and how to make shadows. It's harder to add values and shadows in a pencil drawing than the other 2 we did. The charcoal drawing was my favorite because it's the easiest to add value to and if you mess up you can just smudge it back in to the background. The main problem with the charcoal drawing is that it's very messy.
