Identity Collage |
I created this piece to show what I think I look like, how I perceive myself. I did the color purple on the right side because that is one my favorite colors. I did the woods and snowy part on the right side because I miss the winter that is my favorite part of the year because ice fishing and snowmobiling. I don't really have ears because in the photo as you can see down below my ears weren't really showing so I did the best I could to match that photo besides my eyebrow color. I did my eyebrows blonde because during certain parts of the year they are blonde and not brown. I couldn't really shape the nose well but if I had a chance to do it again I think I would balance the color out better to make my nose more visible or build it up with multiple layers. I did the blue color because that is my favorite color out of all colors. In my opinion I think portraits can change my perception of others because maybe they look at themselves differently then I look at them or they might include their favorite things on their and I can get to know what they like and maybe how their life is. I think creating a self portrait helps people understand and influence them how I want them to see me.

Real Anatomy of Technology |
While I was doing this project I was thinking what is my favorite type of electronic. I was like my PlayStation 4 is my favorite thing to play and how do implement that into a drawing. I implemented it by making a heart the hot air balloon holding the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 4 is the place where the people stand in. In the interview with my mom she said technology was relevant to her and her two closest friends by being able to talk to them over technology and that is how I feel about my PlayStation I talk to my family I can't see my uncle and my two cousins it brings us closer. That is why I implemented the PlayStation because talking to me family through electronics is pretty much the only way I can talk to them. She mentions in the interview stuff advancing and maybe stuff while advance so far to being able to give me family virtual reality hugs.

The Value of words
|
Words are meaningful they can make our break someone and help form connections with others or break connections with others. They also help give your artwork pieces a name. Naming your artwork can give it much more meaning then it had. Spoken, written or heard words can affect a person the most. That is why I included a song in my artwork. I incorporated my favorite thing to do in real life into this project. I was wondering what I was going to do for words then Ryan said why don't you do Fishin' in the Dark so that is exactly what I did. I ran through many problems doing this, One of them was making the words legible Another was figuring out the shadowing and shading, Otherwise this was my far my favorite so far.

Automatic Drawing |
In my personal opinion from what I learned an automatic drawing is a drawing where you have no clue what your doing and you just go. I see the value in automatic drawing for taking a break in actual art and giving yourself a free mind and letting it roam. An artist would do this type of piece to maybe create something random or come up with ideas when they do not have any. It was very intimidating because I wasn't sure what to do because you didn't give us any guidelines. What I was feeling during this project was nervousness not knowing what it was going to turn out like. I was honestly just using random bright colors besides obviously the black I noticed a basketball shape starting to form so I went with it. I like it because it gives my mind a chance to roam. If I had a chance to name it I would name it the "The spirit basketball".

Still LifeArt For Awareness |
I struggled with this project very much. I could not figure out how to create the illusion of three pieces of my favorite fruit falling out of the sky. I struggled with the right colors and how to shade them. Although this project was very hard I kinda liked it, it was a switch up from drawing all the time which did get boring after a while. The reason why they are weirdly shaped and not shaped right is because I purposely did that to try to be unique and that did not work at all. I also tried to do shadows which did not work at all. I also included 3 household items that were misshapen-ed . I kind of made things a little big and I wish I could have done this project a lot better.

People speaking up have influenced me on this topic, men even speaking on how women get paid so much less than men. I am for the raise in pay for women. My grandma gets paid 12$ an hour at a mental hospital while the guys around her are making 18$ or more so it really isn't fair. Some people can think the pay is fair or just work a job with more pay but sometimes that is just not how it works. What was challenging for me while creating this piece is I have not a very good drawer so I tried my best to sketch it out. But overall I think I did a decent job given the time we had which was honestly very little.
