Hi all, I'm Katrina Kessler and I'm here to dump some art that I find beautiful onto you! Once again, I have felt compelled to share portraits of human figures again. It's what I'm happiest with drawing, so naturally I feel happiest looking at art of it too. I love the way that these are drawn solely with black and white and with a messy feel. Even though the lines are a little wild, the artists still always manages to get the detailed emotion and realism across. The artist used chalk and charcoal to get the high contrast, putting them on tinted backgrounds to make the highlights stand out.

    These are all incredible. Like you said, I love how it seems very rough and sketchy, yet there is still incredible details in the subject's faces.

    I really like how they are all very simple but show a lot of emotion.

    This is going to be my inspiration for a bredth piece to draw. I love the loose style, for an emotional piece. Awesome.

    I love how complex, and yet simple, each one of these pieces are. I love the emotions portrayed in each, they are so beautiful

    The simplicity of the color schemes and even the medium used to create this phenomenal piece is truly astonishing. Just reminds me that you don't have to go over the top to create something beautiful.

    The negative space used really brings the images to life. It's interesting how so much emotion can be portrayed with simple sketches, but with harsh detail.

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

IMPRESSED BUT YOU CAN DO MORE Apple......

By Anonymous
FOR THE UNINFORMED: Mrs. Shields may kill me for how long this post to the blog is, but she can deal with it :P Alright... I just want to state that I love Apple to death and get that out of the way but I AM GOING TO RANT for a little. Apple introduced the new "iPad Air" to the world today, among other things. The starting price for a 16GB silver OR black iPad Air is $499, and if you want 8x the storage with the 128GB version, it'll set you back $799. To put that into perspective, if you were to buy a 2.3GHz Mac Mini that has a quad core Intel Core i7 (the fastest processor Intel makes, starting at the i3, i5, and then the i7), 4GB of DDR3 ram, and a 1TB hard drive, it'll set you back $799. So you can buy a pretty very good Mac computer (I have one at home but better haha) or a new iPad. Anyways....  The iPad Air weights only A pound (yes one pound), is only 7.5 millimeters thick (Apple advertises that by saying 7.5 millimeters THIN), has a 9.7...

Bye For Now DMA

By Anonymous
      Well since I'm a senior, then this is probably going to be my last blog post. Next year, I am going to do the Digital Design program at the Warren County Career Center for college credit, so I'm still going to do some DMA stuff after graduation. It's been very cool to be making cool stuff here and I'll miss you guys and I know your going to miss me and my dog Max.
