This is my finished piece. I used a Paintbrush for the ink in the background to give it a solid look. I also used water pens for the stone. For the man, i used black ink and hatched the lines to give him color and texture.

    Materials: Brown Pelican Ink, Black Ink, Ink Pen, Water pen, pencil, grid,
    Processes: Drew the image using a graph, transferred to watercolor paper, used ink and pen to fabricate the church behind him and fill in the colors.
    Ideas: Put the priest who was the head of the Armenian church, Kevork the 'Sorrowful', in his seat of power in 1921. He was known for his humanitarian efforts throughout his reign. He stayed while the cathedral was under threat. This encapsulates the hope of the 70,000 refugees. The seige determined whether the church would survive. As the head of the church, he instructed the bishops to ring the bells and defend the area.

    Very nice, it is quite an improvement! I know you worked on the beard more today. I would say it's 85% done. We need 7 projects by Christmas. 2 can be progress shots like your first piece. If you add another one it needs to be an advanced progress shot. This grade will go up before Christmas if it is finished, cropped, and the materials and processes and ideas are added to each piece.
    If you want to do the transfer idea for the earlier pieces we can try that but it has to be completed before Christmas so that we don't get behind. That is your semester final. 15 pieces are due by May.

Materials: I used water color, colored pencil pencil, and ink pen to make this image. Processes:  First I drew the image of the man in the foreground, and then filled in the scene of the battle in the background which became steadily farther away and ended at the church in the distance. I used the most detail up front.  Ideas: This picture is supposed to depict the battle of Sardarabad, where The Church of Etchmiadzin (in the background) was saved and defended from invasion as well as greater Armenia.

 I put St. Nerses being ordained in the center space being ordained in front of etchmiadzin. This is to symbolize a new era for the Physical Church itself, and the Armenian church/people as a whole. I used colored pencil, sharpie, and mineral spirits for this piece.I used the colored pencil to first put down the basic color and in-fill for the figures. I then used the mineral spirits to blend it together, and add realism to the spoke, I did not use the spirits on the church to give it a rough stone feeling, and to show a transfer from the watery image of the vision in the first piece to the solid institution the church had become at this time. I used the sharpie to highlight St. nerses.
