This was a project with the guides of only using two values of shade, being obviously black and white, and creating a unique design showcasing knowledge in fundamental elements and principles in design.
Man in the Snow – Two-toned Value Art Piece
Pixelated Self-Portrait – Fifteen-tone Value Art Piece
This project had the guideĀ of using 15 specific tones of value to create a self-portrait using a desaturated and pixelated image of myself as an example. This was to judge tonal sensitivity without introducing the concept of hue to allow for more in-depth experience with the concept of tone.
Droplets of Amsterdam – Inspiration Art Piece
In this project, I was given the task of seeking out an inspirational piece of historical art to model my own art piece after. I chose an obscure ink drawing by Rembrandt, which was one of many in a series of sketches of Amsterdam and other Nederland landscapes and architectural fortifications known simply as “The New Town-Hall in Amsterdam”. It depicts a new building recently installed in the center of the large open area, now removed. Amsterdam is often cloudy and precipitating, so I decided to be accurate in my piece. I used half ink for the droplets, indicating the past that Rembrandt saw, and half paint, indicating the lively present.

Prisoner of Hope
Here is a drawing I made for my local church, Ablaze Church. I recorded the time it took me to make it and the time lapse was used in as the background in the sermon.
