Featured Artist: Aryanna Horan

By: Aryanna Horan, and Art & Art History major and Psychology minor.

The following works were created for ART 271: Intermediate Painting.

Artist Statement: This is a simple still life for my Intermediate Painting class. We had to choose a few objects to draw using chalk pastels, so I went into the kitchen and selected some items: a mug, a clementine, and scissors.


Chalk Still Life

Artist Statement: We had to use at least 3 brush techniques in this assignment for Intermediate Painting. It is a completely abstract piece and it means nothing in particular. I chose to use colors that please the eye. As I painted, I simply moved the brush across the canvas and created several layers.
