Welcome to my blog

Welcome back to my blog in a new term, and now we start to learn a new subject Art Portfolio. 

I had two weeks a great break time at home in my country Ukraine. I relaxed, reading the books and development my drawing skills. I try to combine a different technics, like charcoal, watercolour, ink pen, most of thing which we use on 2d and 3d lecture.

During my break I spent more time to looking for some new and interesting techniques to draw. And found the artist who inspire me to do something new. It is Michael Papadakis. Mr Papadikis, from Los Angeles, California, starts off by creating an image of the sun, with tiny flames leaping off the wood as he traces its outline with the magnifying glass (Howard, 2019)

I try to do some similar techniques, but I use the burn pencil. It was great experience for me. I enjoy this time.  

In the evening time I was watching a new documentary film, which for me was so interesting. 

20 days in Mariupol

This film is based on real life, to show first days the War. I was surprise, because it was very dangerous situations, every moment they can be da, but they  they do it and create emotionally film. I am inspire such talented  people, and this film won an Oscar, which become the first for Ukraine.
