Art Reverse Value Drawing

In art, I just finished a reverse-value drawing assignment. We had to draw items found in our locker, with a reverse value. Here is a picture to show what I mean:

As you can see, there are black and white borders. When an object is drawn on a black background, the details are black. When it's on a white background, the details are white. You also notice that I have one colored object, that draws attention. This was part of our emphasis grade. In this assignment, I was really proud of my water bottle drawing because it looked really realistic. It took a lot of effort to draw it, but it looks really detailed.




Here are some questions I had to answer:

1. What was the most challenging part(s) of this assignment?
Drawing detailed objects and making them realistic seemed difficult, but I think I have experience with that, so I did well. But it is always hard to draw things exactly the way they are. Reversing the value was also really confusing, and I actually messed up at first. Initially, I though a white background means black details, but I had to change that. So it was challenging to wrap your head around the reverse value idea, and coloring that way.

2. Find an Op art of Dualism art piece online that you like. Post it on your blog (cite the source) and comment what you like about it.

I chose this picture because it really shows how op art can show depth. The small square in the center shows that well. I find that really interesting, and it really plays with my eyes.

3. Take a photo of the object you emphasized in your art work and explain why you chose this item to be the focal point of your artwork.

I chose to emphasize a slice of pie, because it is the only object that doesn't fit with the theme. This is why it makes sense for it to be emphasized even more.
