Description I like chalk pastels and all, but not on a 12"x18" area.
Summer leg assignment....
To account for additional griminess of this one, let me explain it spent two months on a shelf at a summer camp where I had to keep my 12-year-old campers from eating it; it was then in a piece of carry-on luggage for about twelve hours; and upon finally finishing it, I found out my hairspray (that I use for fixative) was going dead because it left massive spots and speckles all over the surface.

GHALGHAL:KGHL:SKDHG

But I like the purty colors. >:

Awesome! You have serious talent. Love the colour. And I love how the thighs look like pears, haha. Don't know if that was intentional, but that's how I see it

Fixative isn't always A+ for pastels anyway.

But I think the griminess adds something.

That's why I never use hairspray as fixative :B plus it makes the colors look more dull, or at least I think so.

sigh.
I didn't understand that kitchen/garage assignment thingy, and I kinda didn't understand this one either. uhh...I think you did it wrong. or maybe I did it wrong? hmm. i'll upload mine then.

You're doing the design portfolio, right? I'm doing drawing. Our stuff is supposed to be different.

Drawing:
-Chalk pastel Thighs, knees, toes, and floor; exaggerate colors
-One chalk pastel drawing of bare feet w/ triangular composition

Design:
-3 large format digital photos from 3 viewpoints
-3 digitally manipulated foot prints

There are two different but very similar assignments for both portfolios dealing with legs and feet/pastel and photos.

Ya know, they should add artwork on the list of things not to bring to 3BC
No electronics, weapons, porn, or lovely artwork that could possibly be eaten by twelev year olds
But I do love this one.
