Blog 07 Assignment



The art student I have interviewed is Meghan Connell from my Computer Graphics I & II class, whom we both shared during my current semester. Even though I never met her or know her that often, I was proud to meet someone who is a bit friendly than the others I have known. Her art-working process appears to be going quite well for her lately since the first time I came to Ms. Jocelyn Sowa's class. From the looks of it, she seems to be an excellent artist and very skilled in handling the art tools on the computer. According to Meghan, she likes to draw animals with her amazing art sketching style.
Based on what I have learned, her major art concept is to make animals in the form of a sketch drawing. The reason Meghan is into making animal drawings, is because she discovered the animal pictures upon researching through the images via Bing. Details of the animals are probably why Meghan is inspired to draw them. Using pencil and paper allows her to sketch the details of every animal. She is well-precised with the creatures' designs, as well as knowing how they need to be drawn.
Not only does she drew them with just a single pencil, she can also draw the animals with the writing tablet which works with computers. Aside from that, Meghan can also use acrylic painting to make luscious colors for the animals. If she can use painting, then she must be pretty good at creating the texture of every animal she would find interesting for this subject. So therefore, Meghan is an excellent artist with her drawing and painting skills from what she told me during the interview. And best of all, she looked like she was an "animal lover" after she viewed them on the internet pictures which became her art style.
