charcoal project

This took me a few weeks to complete. It is 3' wide, and 5'9" tall (so yes, it's taller than me). Entirely of charcoal, white and black. We were meant to take random objects and draw them, abstract, with charcoal. I, obviously, chose paperclips, a tennis ball and a piece of rope off of my cat's old scratch post. Oh, and one pop top. :)

unfortunately, the photo isn't that great. Doesn't do it a whole lot of justice. No critiques, please, I've already had that done by a class full of art majors.


I was going for a white-versus-black thing. Not racial, that is, just... yin and yang, black and white, good and evil, blahblahblah.
There are also about 500 words written in there somewhere, and about 15 layers of charcoal for every item.

[edit]No, you cannot see the words in it. They're under layers and layers of charcoal.[/edit]

Also, this is the drawing that this drawing was drawing.



PS: Dear Paperclip Club Members... I had almost forgotten to post this in the club, but here it is. My mild obsession with paperclip has found it's way into my art class. If you check back to my page in a few weeks, you may see that other obsessions will be apparent in the piece I'm working on now. :) No paperclips in it yet, though, so it likely won't be submitted.

...but I sold it. To my best friend, for the amount of "dinner," (aka a chicken sandwich and cheese fries) about a week ago.
