Abstract

This presentation exhibits a collection of still life scenes, in graphite and charcoal, that represent my life. The goal of the project was to capture the everyday scenes or objects that both symbolize and reflect my personal journey growing up as a young adult. Through these still lifes, I present to the viewer my reality of tone, form, composition, proportions, and shapes. Graphite and charcoal are used to allow for the depiction of striking shades and intricate details. The vicissitudes of life are dynamic, yet relative, to my space and time. I am utilizing skills that I recently learned in Central Washington University’s Drawing 1 art class.
