Who is me? This is Kristy Lin, a sophomore in living system. I came from China last July. I love drawing and hiking

My hometown in China

My first assignment -- my folder

Crosshatch This is one of the online assignments. I learned how to use crosshatch to describe light and shadow.

Half face drawing This is a value drawing. I learned to only use light and shadow to draw instead of using outlines It makes my drawing look more real.

Four pictures The first one was a value drawing The second one was trying to draw it like a baby The third one was about sick The fourth one was described as a king

Eyes drawing I learned how to draw eyes in six different situations. In the future, if I draw some one’s eyes, I’ll know how to do it. This is one of my favorite drawings.

Kandinsky painting We paint this with water color pencils. I didn’t do too well on this assignment, because it didn’t look like Kandinsky’s style.

Chinese brush painting We used rice paper and Chinese brushes finish this assignment. I did a lot Chinese brush painting when I was in China, but I haven’t do it for a long time. This assignment remind me the ones that I did in China before.

Water color practice This is the practice that we need to do before we start the final water color painting. We learned how to make stripes and dots.

Water color practice This the one of my water color painting practices. We learned to put stripes, dots, flat surfaces, lines together.

Water color painting This is our final water color painting project. We choose the picture from magazine, and paint it on a very thick watercolor paper.

My favorite artist --Audrey Flack She is a photo- realism painter of popular images. Her work, often done with airbrush, is rarely smaller than six feet in height and width. I love her painting, because I like to paint something real.
