self portrait
my idea of my self portrait was to do a Brain because my thinking was simply that what is the one thing that makes us. us simple your brain your brain is you so to show me and do a self portrait. so I decide to do a nice brain that would just show you how i think i would see my self. I went simple and just did standard drawing only using a pencil and color pencils for color
page 4, 5,6
for page four i used un convential tools i used a sponge to create my galaxy and added in dots around it to make stars i also took purple blue and white to make the galaxy look bright and colorful .this ties into my theme to show that even in darkness there can be coulorful surprises
now on page five i went easy i took my page and burnt it then i painted it to make it look like a giant fire ball then put a dragon on a cliff and painted it.the way this ties into my theme i made it like the scene of dustruction is whats dark.
then on my last page i cut out two eyes and painted the front black then i took the back and added red so that it would look likes eyes peering throught the darkness.this ties into my theme to show that you never know what really could be in the dark

for this page of my book i went simple what i did was write dark a couple of times on my page then i took water colors an did a nice dark wash over the page.i also tried to take the word dark and make them look evil and just really put them in weird angles.i felt like this would really show my whole theme of dark.

For this page i decided to use the prompt add a door or window. i decided to use this one because i felt like it would go well with my theme just due to the fact that i had dark as a theme. this caused me to think about the door being a true way to over up the monster putting you in the dark but you can only see the tentacles to make u wonder what's coming out of the door. but you never get to see the monster leaving you with the fact that you cant see the rest of the monster so your truly in the dark.

my art work was original due to the fact that it was of two cyborgs with computer screens for heads.i did this to show the dependence of computers in our everyday society.plus i also put in the background that they were in heaven to show my questioning of god.i also put them in suits to show that society is so constricting and conventional. this art work was suppose to say don't be main stream america.I believe that this was the main thing i went for due to the fact i put them in suits and mad them happy but only in there afterlife.plus the three main issues in my art work were being to main stream and living your life happy and full instead of tired and full of work.

we learned lots of new things one things we learned was how to color we used lots of different mediums . one of them was chalk we learned how to blend them and how to color.another medium we used was color pencil we practiced with it to try and blend the colors and just get a better understanding on how color pencils work. the third and finale medium we practiced with was oil pastels which was hard to use due to the fact it stains everything it touches plus it was hard to blend you have to use like 4 different colors to get the color you want.
another artistic behavior is artist collaborate me and my friend henry always talk about new ideas for artwork and are always throwing ideas off one another.plus we always look at each others work and we decide what our favorite parts of the art work to help each other.

i created an original art due to the fact that i drew a man with a set of handcuffs on .also i created an original piece of art due to the fact that i drew an original version of a brick wall.plus the colors i choose added to the fact that its an original piece of art.

i developed art making skills due to the fact that i used color in this art work.in all of my other artworks i only used pencil now i added color to the arm and to the flag.i felt like this really showed off everything correctly.also it showed that that a on the flag wasn't just some random letter and instead was the anarchy symbol. plus i feel it caches peoples eyes better and really gets my point across better and really makes my art pop. it also makes my art more apparent and really gets my point across better.
plus my art really shows my views on the government and the fact that in all of us is a little rebel.that is waiting and ready to come out all we have to do is be pushed to that brink and we will explode.my art shows this because i show a fist with a flag being raised in the air with the anarchy symbol on it. plus i showed a man with his brain open and a thought coming out i wanted to show that if we open our minds we can do things we normally wouldn't.the final reason i decided to draw the things i decided to draw was because i fell oppressed in everyday life with all the people that try to put everybody in bubbles and in categories never letting anyone be them selves.

midterm
i believe my most successful art work is the man and machine due to the the fact that i feel it was the artwork that really showed my believes and it showed how my mind works when coming up with new and creative ideas.
i think the one project that i overcame the most obstacles has to be interior exterior i over came obstacles that i had actually created myself i was lazy and distracted and allowed my self to get so behind that it caused me to turn in a piece of art that was horrible
the two art works that i believe to show my growth as a artist were my pressure and man and machine due to that fact that i showed my drawing skill in one and in the other one i showed how learning new mediums can expanded your art and give you new ways to show the world your true artistic view
i feel this effected me due to the fact that this allowed me to truly show everyone my true view and allowed me to show my view and allowed me to truly be able to pick my art works and learn that art is just a means to show the world new things and never have to just explain using words now i show views through pictures and mediums
