I wanted to make something silly out of tinned fish and decided to add PinkPantheress, the Roblox woman face, the stupid hamster, and a few friends. The name of the piece is a reference to "A Bouquet of Flowers in a Terracotta Vase with Peaches and Grapes" by Anne Vallayer-Coster. woohoo yay yippee hip hip hooray

For my abstract self portrait I did a collage but in a different style than my usual pieces. This piece is supposed to connect to my theme of identity through my sport by ending off my project with a final say that my identity is something constantly shifting based on my environment and is always subject to change. This is represented by the words that do not have an ending set in stone and the words on my face that symbolize the possibilities of how my identity will grow.

I ended up changing my entire piece last minute because I didn't like where it was going. This was semi-inspired by Tifiti from Moana, but more so I wanted to emphasize how humans themselves are also apart of nature, with our own distinct shapes and patterns.

it was kind of hard trying to come up ideas that connect both surrealism and vulnerability. i might add more ideas later this week but this is what i have so far!

For this project, my original idea was to make my face fragmented out of candy wrappers and childhood candies to symbolize loss of innocence and carefree-ness. I didn't like how it looked so I changed to a bowl-like head holding candy and childish motifs and a storm brewing at the top with a hand reaching out and holding a clock to symbolize how childhood doesn't last forever.

I wanted to do something as a landscape, but since it's a portrait, I decided to go with a person wearing a fishbowl as a head, either filling it with fish only or including the head wearing goggles with fish swimming around in the bowl

My idea for this portrait is to depict myself as a magical girl from like a 2000's style anime, I would want to draw myself in that very traditional and girly anime art style but in a very contrasting setting, maybe an office or something just very glum. Another idea I had was to draw a realistic self portrait but with specific traits like eyes, hair, neck, etc, drawn in the aforementioned 2000's anime art style. I don't like that idea as much but I think it fits more into the surrealist theme.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
i'm not really sure where I really want to go with this project right now, but I think I want to do something with animals, whether it be be as an animal or like animal features. I think adding a lot of creatures kinda gives the vibe of those magical little creatures in fairytales. i also want to include my glasses as a key part of my portrait, so I want to see what fun things I can do with them.

For this project, I wanted to showcase a scene where escapism cannot be reached. Soooo you know how people pin insects to position and preserve them in a certain way, I was planning on creating a mixed media piece of this where I'm the insect. When pinning, it is very intricate and fragile, but to showcase my message, I was going to show the pins as aggressively placed and forced (pinning her down so she can't escape kinda thing). In terms of media, I'm not toooo sure on what to use but I do want to use a sort of iridescent plastic for the wings. I also don't really know how to position the figure buttttt this is a very rough idea so idkkk

# data[].attributes.body
These are just some concepts I was thinking of exploring in my self portrait, I'm still deciding how exactly I want it to look though.

Intention: When you first walk into an Asian grocery store, they always have newspapers laid out for you to take. While the newspapers are the first thing you see, once you go inside, you unlock a vivid world of colors and smells. Apple symbolizes this experience as a tribute to the place where all Asian kitchen magic starts. However, it also has a hidden or double meaning behind it. Apple shows how you never know someone fully until you take the time to get to know them - and it’s not easy - demonstrated by the hard to access holes. While someone might seem one way on the outside, once you truly understand a person, you discover the full picture - not just the part you judge without truly knowing. Apple communicates something I’ve always struggled with - the feeling that no one really understands who I am because they don’t try to look past the “perfect” life or quiet persona.

I have both my Project 4 and Project 5 finished! From the midpoint, I only really changed a few things for the big project, it was a little hard for me to do because I don't know how to paint but I think I made it work. I sewed in the dress to the canvas instead of making it out of felt and just scrapped the teddy bear idea cause I couldn't make it work, the dress and details for this project look a lot better in person. In terms of my project 4.... I still don't know why I put myself through the pains of embroidery but it came out looking better than I expected so I'm happy with the outcome! Any critique is appreciated!

In may folktales or myths, I've noticed that many female monsters are often fully nude, but their nudity is rarely a point of focus in their character. This artproject was kinda my own experiment on this!

I changed my piece midway because I think this idea represented my theme of vulnerability much clearer, especially with the vastness of the ocean(and also I had so much trouble with the anatomy from the mid point). in addition, I wanted to add more variety of color to my exhibition so i decided to create a new piece with my 2nd idea from my thumbnails. it is almost dry and it will be ready before exhibition.

# data[].attributes.body
I think I flew too close to the sun, The first painting is basically the weeding and from the midpoint I changed the background to the church they got married in. I took this one home to try and clean up some of my lines in the background maybe add in some more textures.

The 2nd painting is basically my grandad getting crowned as the "odogwu" (a leader) and its not done yet but I wanted to put rays of sunshine coming through the top right to show enlightenment.... You cant see my lady to the right I took this under yellow lighting it looks sm better in florescent....

Any feedback is appreciated to tie up all the loose ends. Thanks!!

Although my exhibition focuses on how swimming has shaped my identity, my photos from Morocco push that idea further by placing me in a completely different environment. Being abroad took me out of the structured, repetitive space of the pool and forced me to adapt and stay present in unfamiliar situations something swimming has trained me to do over time. The same sacrifice and resilience I’ve developed through the sport showed up in how I navigated a new culture, where I had to be open, patient, and comfortable with discomfort. In these images, I’m drawn to moments of both stillness and movement, which reflect the focus and clarity I feel in the water. Overall, this work shows that my identity as a swimmer isn’t limited to the pool; it influences how I see and move through the world, shaping my mindset even when I’m far from where my journey started.

From the midpoint, I changed some aspects so the piece didn't feel too crowded. For this piece, I wanted to portray a child's escape from an alcoholic environment. The drawings and dolls portray her innocence and escape, showing her finding solace through playing with toys. The way that the dolls' hair is messy and not groomed showcase how the little girl doesn't know how to take care of herself. The alcohol symbolizes alcohol 😼😼😼😼😼. The wine bottle on the drawer is in the way of a times table poster, showcasing how this environment affected life outside of the home; in school and academics. Similarly, the teacup next to this bottle represents her playing tea party, showcasing the little innocence (cos the teacup is so small) that hasn't been corroded by alcoholism. The broken drawer and piece of clothing show a dirty environment, reflecting the nature of her household. #fanksforlistening 😼😼😼😼😼😼😼😼😼😼😼😼😼😼😼😼😼😼😼😼😼😼😼😼😼😼😼

I finally finished my project but it's extremely fragile and breaking everywhere.

The shape of the jellyfish is inspired by the Atlantic Sea Nettle, a seasonal jellyfish that return closer to shore during the summer months.

I took the feedback of fixing her nose and I think that helped pull her face together. I begin adding more of the charcoal shadowing to the piece and fixed up her proportions. I bulked up her hands to fit her shoulders and slimmed down her shoulders so her head wouldnt look so big. I wanted this to connect to ym theme of disconntion through they way it presents a visual level of what she feels on the inside. The cracking is her loseing who she is and falling into a state of loss.

I decided to add a waterline around the piece to better show the water above and below. I have a few tweaks here and there and a little more to add but other than that I’m pretty much finished.

For my project, I am making a dining table filled with traditional Chinese dishes. I plan on making these dishes out of Air dry clay, so I kind of planned out which ones I'm going to make on my iPad. My biggest concern is how I will decorate and cover the table, as it is made out of cardboard. I was thinking of painting over it but I'm not sure how that will look with all of the bumps.

I'm currently working on the graphite old lady that is going to be the central figure of my piece. Below the image of my progress, I have a digitized very sketchy version of what I plan for my final to look like. I will cut out the old lady and place her on a painted board/canvas, I want the background to look like a dream, very whimsical and cute. The old lady will be holding a children's stuffed teddy bear and be wearing a children's nightgown. In terms of critique, I want to know what I should make the background out of, I'm pretty sure I'll just end up doing acrylic paint but anymore ideas are appreciated. Also, I planned to make the night gown and teddy bear out of puffy paint but I'm also not sure. Also, I didn't give the old lady eyebrow hairs, I'm not sure if I should, any ideas are appreciated! Additionally, I have included a progress picture of my embroidery project which I've been working on.

For this project I am making a giant apple. It's going to be plain and white on the outside but when you look inside through a small hole, the walls of the apple will be colorful and covered in collages. I'm unsure what material to use for the outside so any recommendations for the apple itself would be helpful. For the inside, I have linked the collages I have made so far. I want to do kind of like a rainbow color scheme where each color represents a theme. I have collages made for each color/theme. I need help deciding if I should colorize/edit the photos to bring out the specific colors or leave as is because I am planning on using different colored lights to shine on each specific section or ditch the color scheme and just put everything together in one collage. I'm also planning on adding words from magazines, going out to take more photos, and incorporating 3D foods to put inside as well, but any suggestions or improvements to these ideas are welcome.

So far, I have a good outline of my art and how I want her pose to be. I am not that good at anatomy and was wondering if you guys could help point out any inconsistencies in the sketch please. also, I am still trying to figure out the color scheme I would use. I was thinking of like a tan/rough background and make her really pastel to contrast. I plan on using oil painting as the media. thank you!

I've made 3 floors so far...I will glue them together after painting. I am happy with my progress so far, but I still need to make the stairs on the left and paint/decorate the apartment. I was considering doing a fourth floor when I started the project, but I think I'll stick to 3 based on the time I have. Maybe instead of the fourth floor, I could add a little roof terrace thing? Suggestions? Also, if you have any fun ideas for what colors/ techniques to paint with, if I should use air dry clay for texture, etc., let me know!

I’m using charcoal on a board primed in gesso for this project. This is Concavenator, an early Cretaceous Carcharodontosaurian that inhabited Spain Characterized by the tall hump on its back. The perspective is panned at the tail where he’s just chillin in a wetland. I sketched this idea out in VR and wanted to finalize it here, a lot more to go, might add some amphibians, potentially crocodylomorphs that lived alongside it.

I completed the sketch in my sketchbook and also laid out the basic line work on the big paper. My artwork aims to depict an elderly man's life, filled with regrets and unfinished tasks. I placed the old man in the center of the picture, holding a photo album, symbolizing his longing for his family. To the left is a mirror, reflecting his life in his youth: he was preoccupied with homework and had no time for family and friends. To the right is the shadow of his middle age: he is busy with work, meaning he no longer has time for his family.

for my fifth piece I wanted to draw a harpy while talking inspiration from those Japanese ghosts w the long necks (not sure what they're called :P) as I designed her I took a lot of inspirations from different types of birds (owl for face, vulture for part of the plumage, egret neck, etc). I have her head upside down currently to contribute to the Japanese ghost vibe, but I'm not sure if it looks good? I also am not sure of how to draw feathers with oil pastel so I'm kind of stuck on that. if anyone has suggestions or tips please help!!

I don't know what evil spirit possessed me and deluded me into thinking this would be a good idea.

So far, I have the base of the jellyfish head along with the beaded chicken wire. I still have to boil wooden sticks to bend and create the dome shape of the head. I also have paper and cardstock to weave into the wood and wrap around some of the exposed wiring.

As of now, I would like suggestions on the tentacles and oral arms of the jellyfish. For the oral arms, my two options are using the glass beads I already have (stringing them onto wire), or purchasing shells to layer (stringing them onto twine). For the tentacles, I'm planning on using sheets paper with wire in between to give them more structure.

For this studio project, I wanted to show a child's escape from an alcoholic environment. I was planning to use color pencils for the main figure and the dolls with a pink/purple color palette. In this image, I drew the alcohol bottle a little too forward so in my final I'm planning to push it back so that it is in line with the dolls. The alcohol bottle is dressed in a doll's dress to show the innocence of a child being corrupted by the parents' substance use (specifically alcoholism). Similarly, there is a 6-pack beer carrier which I was planning to put dolls into. My plan is to cut the figure, the dolls, and the bottle/carrier out and sort of elevate them on another paper, giving them a 3D-ish look. I was also thinking about adding arguing speech bubbles in the empty space at the top but I'm not sure if it'll look cohesive. Any feedback or suggestions, specifically concerning composition, color choices, and the speech bubble idea, would be really appreciated! 😸😸😸

During this project I wanted to go for somthing that i was most comfortable with and it was the use of pencil becase of how big this piece is. I wanted to capture the moment of fading away from reality to show that becase of many conflict in ones life it is taking a large toll on them. For the individual, she is of a stone figure and she is cracking and breaking becase of these hardships and struggles in her life. She is holding her heart which is the only real part of her as she is trying so depresetly to hold on to that last piece of reality she has left. I had also added wings to my piece becase i wanted to try and create a trend with my work so they can all becase realated to eachother. I also think it adds more to her story as it represents her purity , innocence , and kindness that she has but is slolwy lossing as she fades and cracks away. Im kinda looking for a way to improve her face as it sorta look odd and im not sure how to fix it. I think she kinda looks like minecraft steve :( lol.

My project five is sort of a conclusion piece to my theme. It contains references to all my previous pieces. This is supposed to show how each of these presentations of my adhd are still a part of the same person, despite their contradictory nature. I’m almost done with it, I just need to cut out a few more elements and glue them down. What I’m unsure about is how to make the artwork not feel flat. In the previous paper pieces done in this classroom, they had levels and depth, but I’m not sure how I want to do that with mine. Any suggestions would be helpful!

I was gonna make a Google slide with all my photos but I guess only one transferred to my drive. I really only need y'all to look at this one anyways, because this is what I want advice on. Basically I've been working on the cardboard base by sketching out the design and cutting out strips. I'm making a big elephant head and putting dollar bills on the tusks to represent poaching. Originally it was gonna be the entire head, but I was worried about how much space it'll take up, so David suggested I do a side profile. I'd like advice on whether I should do the side view or front. I'm also not sure how I'm gonna make the money. I want it to look realistic, but I was also thinking maybe I should do a unique design that adds to my theme/concept.

So basically for this studio project I wanted to do a narrative quilt telling the story of my dad's childhood, and how he had to walk through the poor, rural villages of China in the freezing cold for hours just to go to school and get an education since this story inspires me a lot. I haven't actually started on the quilt yet, because I wanted to get some feedback before starting since I can't really restart after beginning the project (also funds are low and I can't buy any fabric right now). I attached a rough sketch of the scene I want to depict above, and any feedback on it (especially how to try to tell my story better) would be greatly appreciated. I also added pictures of examples of narrative quilts as well as fabrics/patterns I want to use to add more of a cultural aspect to the project, and any suggestions on fabrics and whatnot would also be very helpful. Overall, any comments would be awesome. Thank you!

So far I have sculpted tongues for the Jaguars and sculpted hooves for the Lamb, I also pulled apart my cat sculpture so I can redo the pose. I started flocking the sheep and applying fur to the Jaguars. My main feedback I am looking for is ways to apply the fur and perhaps a better glue to use instead of modpodge. Im thinking getting a glue that I can easily brush on that won't be as thick as hotglue.

Mainly focused on texture rather than any sort of realism to give it a more child like memory. This piece is also a call back to an older piece I made and ties in multiple project styles and techniques I have done in my past projects.

Not finished lol, but so far I gotten the greyscale out of the way on the larger individual and a few of the juveniles, but overall the colors went out pretty good. I probably won’t put every single juvenile into frame because of the angle and the impression that more are behind the older one, deeper in the burrow. All in all I like how it looks so far so I’ll see where it takes me!

I was mainly for designing this umbrella because the one I used didn't meet the requirements (the design on the origami paper wasn't mine). So I drew a pond on it with watercolors, the water flowing in a circle, with fish and shrimp in it. Then I folded some paper shrimp (raw, cooked, headless, shelled). Finally, I hung them under the umbrella. I think I could improve it by: making an place where I can keep the umbrella in place so people (like Eli) don't have to hold the umbrella; making a slot to hold the umbrella in place so it can stay in any position; and perhaps adding more details to the shrimp and the umbrella.

From the midpoint, I changed aaaa looooootttt. I brought the figure closer to create a more direct emphasis on him. I also made the figure hold a glass breaker to really show his want to escape. His arm is held back by the background figures to portray how escape is something that cannot always be reached. I wanted to show a figure trying to escape the systemic lifestyle, which is why he is clothed in a suit and on a train. The people in back have swirls on their faces to show how the systemic lifestyle is a never ending cycle of uniformity and boredom. I kinda don't really like how it came out just because I had to improvise a lot due to the time crunch, but any feedback would be awesome sauce 😼😼😼

I used Chinese rice paper and Chinese ink calligraphy as the base, then collaged magazine cutouts with quotes and images about Chinese people and culture. Around that, I painted a small picture of my sister and me wearing Fourth of July clothes and cowboy hats. Even though I participate in American traditions, my mindset, family relationships, and the way I live are strongly shaped by my Chinese upbringing. This piece represents how both cultures exist together in me and make up who I am.

This artwork is a 3D swimming scene constructed using plaster, acrylic paint, and glue, creating a textured and immersive representation of water. Small sculpted figures are placed throughout the piece in various swimming motions, to incorporate my theme surrounding my sport. Conceptually, the piece explores unity and individuality by showing swimmers traveling along the same path while moving in distinct ways. Although they occupy the same body of water, each figure follows their own rhythm and journey, symbolizing how swimmers progress at different stages and speeds.

I'll be working on this piece throughout the next studio project - the beading process takes a lot of time... and I didn't anticipate how many beads I was going to need so unfortunately it has taken me a bit of time to even get to this point. Any critique is appreciated!! The picture is really unclear but I've basically filled in like almost half of the moon, the beads are mainly 11 mm seed beads but I've also incorporated a few star shaped beads to add some visual interest!! I also have an updated thumbnail for the colors of the female figure which I changed following the midpoint, but I forgot to send it to my Chromebook

For this piece, I was inspired by fairy dance rings, & wanted to make an artwork incorporating them. At the same time that I was researching these fairy rings, I also happened to be learning about industrialization & the Gilded Age in my history class, & I felt like the message of fairy rings really relate to how workers during the industrial era were trapped in a cycle of poverty, & led with false hopes of social mobility. I made this artwork to try to combine the two ideas.

For this project, I was inspired by Sergio Toppi. I was drawn to his mosaic-like composition and his surreal story-telling. I was aiming for a similar stylized, distorted anatomy. My thread of inquiry isn't trying to shame people, but to shed light on certain topics, so I wanted to explore a side of it that no one really talks about: the negatives of cynicism. There are people that fear-monger and spread misinformation, but don’t really do anything to help the environment. I wanted to focus on a specific phrase that annoys me and the kind of person that says things like this, by having a large, distorted figure holding Earth and yelling at people, essentially "pushing" them away. I scanned the drawing but the red looks a lot lighter on Padlet than on my phone..

The Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated in September in many Asian countries in many different manners. In my Chinese and Taiwanese household, we celebrate by eating traditional foods like mooncake, pomelos, and walnuts. I wanted to showcase my family's heritage by portraying how we celebrate this festival. I chose to create my piece using watercolor to try to create a dream like effect on the audience to demonstrate my feelings of nostalgia of growing up with these traditions.

I wanted to create a short film, highlighting the food my mom makes and the beauty of a mother’s cooking. Through the film, I tried illuminating the hominess, nostalgia, and care of a mom’s cooking. I wanted to show how a mom has such an important role in making money, cooking for the family, and taking care of everyone, balancing it all without complaint. As a result, it makes a mom’s food not just about the taste, but the process that goes into it - one of time and love, finally creating a meal that is special to each person and a meal we remember our mom’s cooking by. It's kind of long so I have it linked https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IY5Ht3T1nXBbcRJjO_wlLt-2XscaJJCa/view?usp=sharing I don't love how it turned out so any feedback to make it better is appreciated!

I changed my artwork to be more centerd around her rather then the emotions. From the last critic I got feedback on how the girl was washed away within the bnackground so I wanted to center her more. This time for the shadow figures I didnt more body action to have a more agony feeling that they are trying to exscape from her. Before it felt really bland just to have the faces and it didnt really give the intinal pain i wanted to go for. I ended up exploring a different way to represet the background then just a soild spot light, instead I used these clouds/dust to show the agressive wave of shadows flying out of her. This connects to my theme of disconnetion as it shows the built up of inner emotions becoming overwhelming and is not forcably coming out.

I ultimately decided to switch my project again, moving away from the comically large fruit concept because I felt I wouldn’t be able to execute it in the way I envisioned. Instead, I returned to working with gouache and continued exploring humor. 'until i say so' reflects a longing for warmth during the colder months and connects directly to my overarching theme of summer nostalgia. In the piece, my sisters are dressed in winter clothing while I stand out in a beach outfit, emphasizing the silly contrast between seasonal reality and personal desire. I was inspired by Zara Larsson’s Midnight Sun, particularly the lyric “summer isn’t over yet,” which I found relatable and funny. I used that idea in my title: summer isn't over 'until I say so'.

I havent finished the animation yet (animation takes time), but heres what I have so far. The blob character (me) is stuck in the bottom of a pit and can't get out on her own. Its only when the two beams come in and create a ladder is she able to get out. The animation doesn't show this part, but after she gets out, she takes the ladder with her, and it turns into crutches, which she uses to walk away. It's supposed to represent how external structures like calenders, reminders, and schedules can help manage ADHD symptoms, and how even when the worst is over, you still have to use those same strategies in your daily life. As for feedback, I'm not really sure what to do for the colors. I'm thinking the background will be black and white, but I don't know wht i want the blob figure's color to be.

For this piece, I wanted to do a realistic charcoal drawing of a figure trapped in a crowded train cart. The figure would be pressed against the glass and try to reach their hand out between the doors to escape. I feel like this piece is missing something but I'm not sure what it issss. I wanted to add a pair of colored hands reaching out to represent how people are trapped by the systematic lifestyle, but I'm not so sure about that idea. I would appreciate some feedback on how I can make this piece more interesting and if I should increase/decrease the size to fit the whole page. Thanks!! :)

This was my beginning idea, what I was drawing last night is a bit better than this (this was me testing colours on my chromebook..)

what I have right now is just a scene of a wedding I wanted to paint The left dress is a "regular" dress while the right is supposed to be a traditional dress, my mom was telling me about the story of her getting married and how her family were basically "handing her off" to her husband so I wanted to paint it from a family member/my moms perspective of being uncertain of marriage and what's to come from it, the bride is glancing back to her family with an expression that says "what do I do now?"

For this project I wanted to test out beaded embroidery, I've done traditional embroidery before so I thought it would be fun to test out a new medium (its not) - I've made the decision to specify my original theme that was a sort of esoteric undefined allegory for identity into something along the lines of growing out of the aesthetics of a preteen, more specifically in terms of my experience! The process of embroidering beads its really time intensive so I've only managed to partially complete the outline of the moon. In terms of critique, any general critique is appreciated but I would also like critique in terms of color, I have my color thumbnail and value thumbnail posted but I'm not too happy with the colors so any ideas are appreciated!!!

So, I planned to use origami to complete this project. My idea is to fold multiple origami shrimp and demonstrate the process from raw shrimp or sushi to the finished origami shrimp. I already have a general idea of ​​how to fold the shrimp, but I don't know what to use to hold them together. Just having the shrimp alone would look too plain. So I'm considering making an umbrella and hanging the shrimp from it with strings, so that when I rotate the umbrella, the shrimp will also rotate. Alternatively, I could make a plate and place all the shrimp on it, then put my logo in the middle of the plate (the logo hasn't been designed yet). (The image on the left is an unfinished umbrella top and the shrimp, and the image on the right is a sketch of my idea.) More ideas on how to make the background will be perfect. :)
