Just a little Color helps the World go Around

Today I am going to do two different sets of blog posts (: . The one I am going to be doing right now is on the next step of my Art One class from high school. After working with graphite we were given the grand opportunity to enter the world of colored pencil, which changed my whole perspective on art- because I loooovvee color. Naturally, I was pretty excited about being able to work on these next couple pieces.

“A Mother’s Love”
This is one of my all-time favorite pieces, I love the colors and the detail, and how everything came together. The image source for this drawing came from a post card I got from Save the Children. Most years I help out with this program by crocheting hats for premature babies like the one in this picture. In the past I have made hundreds of hats, this project is something I have done with My Great-Grandma, and My Aunt Margo.





“Sign of Peace”
This was my next colored pencil drawing I decided to do, I really like the concept behind it of people coming together to create peace. That is a pretty good message for most people to follow. The background is done with white chalk.
