Art 3: My Altered Book

Front cover of my altered book.

So we're going through our final exams now in Art 3, and one of our assignments that we've had the whole semester is our Altered books. It's pretty much where you take a book and do your art in it. I picked a book called "Welcome to My Studio" by Helen Van Wyk. I was drawn to the book because it teaches you how to paint better and how to pay attention to light and shadows in your painting, a weakness of mine in my opinion. I can't say I've gotten any better at painting since getting this book (probably cause I read all of one paragraph in the whole thing...), but I'm sure it was very informative. But anyway...here are some of the artistic things I've done with my altered book!

First opening page of book, sorry it's sideways.

Water color blob

Skull poem.

Stuff with ink and in the right hand corner is a old sketch of mine.

Again, sorry for it being sideways, that's a old sketch and poem of mine that I glued in.

Drawing people assignment, it was a warm up for a bigger assignment in class.

Octopus thingy

I drew this with crappy markers my mom bought me, it was a drawing of a picture I made in photoshop for a chalk fest that was going on a while ago. Complicated enough?

I shall name this poop painting, and it shall be my poop painting. (Don't worry, its just acrylic paint!)

Random sharpie sketches, started out as body formation planning. I was going to do a big sculpture out of wire, but I don't have money for that type of stuffs.
