Hi again. For this statement,i'm using my seahorse foam sculpture for it! I used purple acrylic paint to paint it. I used one large piece of foam and 2 smaller pieces,one for his head and one for his stomach. It didn't turn out perfect and he kinda looked like a pregnant dino, but I'm happy with how he turned out. It was pretty fun to do considering when I started it at school,it was a nightmare using that plastic knife. I finished it at home and it was much, MUCH easier. I think seahorses are really amazing and that's why I decided to do a seahorse. I was also reminded while doing it that when I was 5-6 that I didn't think seahorses were real which makes me laugh now.Overall, it was fun and it turned out cute!

Hiya!For one of my two statements, I decided to use my art 'Seasons.' I used my imagination to what I would think would be my idea seasons and also sorta remembering all the cutesy,romantic Hallmark movies I watched. I wanted to do what I would love to experience,like a warm park, red,yellow and orange leaves on the ground,snow piled 3 or 4 feet and a flowery,rainy season. I used crayola pencils and split it into 4 boxes using a ruler. My favorite part of this project was I had the power to do whatever I wanted to do with it,which is why I love art so much.This was a very fun and relaxing project.

This work of art is called "The Four Seasons." It is a drawing to show the four seasons. I used mostly straight lines to create this piece and some basic shapes. It was created on a piece of card-stock paper split into fours columns vertically. Each column has a house in it with the season written and the weather demonstrated.  I tried to draw the seasons as the feeling i get when I hear the name of the season.  I used color pencils to create this piece and a black one to show contrast. My work shows my emotion of happiness with some warm colors. My goal was to put the most generic weather to the season's name. I feel I achieved that goal. I learned that using different colors can show different emotions. That will help me for future artworks.

Lily Sakuma's Art Statement #1The piece of art that I have chosen is called "Bugs".  It is five bugs that I have imagined and put on paper with  zentangles added.  The most obvious media used is crayon because it was used to show contrast. I used pencil and crayon on a piece of printer paper to create this work.  I tried to use overlapping and contrast with darker lines.  I tried to show  the emotion of curiosity in this  artwork.  As some bugs look robotic and some look more realistic.  My goal was to be as creative as I could be and try to create some great zentangles.  I feel I reached my goal with this piece of art, as i did both objectives throughout it.  I learned some facts about Ladybugs and that they have antennas.  My final piece was exactly what I imagined and it has influenced  my future artworks,as I am more creative after this work.

This was a very frustrating art project. It was very annoying to get the paint in the lines and the colors the right color. But it has so much color its fin to look at. Even though water colors are fun and all it was very fun to use. i used water color, sketch piece of paper, sharpie marker. the purpose of this work of art was to create an effect that when u look at it you have to look twice. Even though it didnt work i still had fun doing this project especially with the water color techneices that i had fun doing. This was a very different and creative project.

I really enjoyed doing this project. This is a tiger practice trying to learn all the shapes and all the different lines that u can try. There really isn't a lot of contrast in this  or texture but it came out not like i hoped. The only reason it came out differently is because i love to draw wolfs and so this is a totally different animal . I thought ok so lets just start. i did this project then not knowing how well this came out i was completely shocked how well this came out. It was very fun to do. i was very surprised and not but very happy how this beautiful came out.

Mine was my origami KWL but my computer won't let me transfer a photo of it, I picked it because I like origami and I enjoyed learning about why Japan makes origami. It was very cool to learn how to fold a paper into origami I really like to fold paper and learn about foreign things such as origami and where it came from in Japan.

This is my foam sculpture. It was made with foam, and silver and gold paint. I created this art work with pieces of foam and was cut to these shapes with a plastic knife. The big idea behind this work of art is growing up my nickname was always nate, therefore I made this sculpture the name nate. My goals for this work of are was to make the name nate and paint it two different alternating colors. My over all thought for this work of art is that my goals were met, but it did not look as good as i wanted it to look. Overall i had a lot of fun creating this work of art.

My art work is a drawing of 5 imaginary bugs with pinches,singers,biters but what they also have is elements of art including line,texture,pattern,color,and many more. I created the artwork using regular drawing paper,pencil,colored pencils,and a ruler. I first started by drawing regular shapes and then legs and then trees and flowers and suns and then i colored the bus and back ground in with bright colors. The teacher said to draw bugs and then design the bugs I drew imaginary bugs that live in the grass. My goals in this artwork were to make imaginary bugs that live in places we step i also wanted a 100, I achieved all of my goals i drew imaginary bugs in an environment that people step and is scored a 100. My thoughts on my art work is that it is a very well drawn and has lots of art elements.

My 1st work of art is my zentangle. This art work is a mixture of black lines and blue, purple, and red shading. I created my zentangle with a pencil, blue, purple, red, and black crayons. The big idea behind my art work is I knew blue and red mixed together makes purple so I used these three colors to make the background of my zentangle. My goals for this art work was to get the shading and over laping lines just right. My overall thought for this work of art is, I think my goals were overall met. In all this was one of my favorite works of art I have ever done.

My artworks title is a{Bugs Life}My artwork looks like many bugs of different species as they all are surviving doing there own thing.Line is my main element and i tried to use contrast occasionally but it didn't turn out as well but its ok. My artwork is made out of pencil and only pencil even so it turned out pretty well.I didnt have a process making it i just kinda went with the flow and drew 5 bugs and them in there habitats (Where they live).My artwork was inspired by myself when i was younger (5-6).I used to think that bugs looked crazy and scary kinda like that movie coraline .My goals as an artist is to become great as many things not just specifically art though.The final piece turned mostly how i imagined it i just thought there would be a little more contrast .I learned that next time i need to put more
contrast if i only use pencil.

The title of my second piece is Bug Collection the subject matter is dead big it looks like bugs laying on there backs. This piece has pencil lines and shapes and marker for contrast. Examples inspired me on this piece. This piece expresses no personal or social issues but is personal to me because of my own characters. The emotion it expresses is death. This piece turned out as I expected because I was thinking of a bug collection. My goal was to do this piece so I reached my goal. This piece will influence future pieces because I learned position is a main part of art work.

My artwork looks like my name but in 3-D form. My artwork is called "foam Sculptures". The elements or principles that are most obvious in my artwork are shape, form, and pattern. The media that my artwork is used from is foam and oil paint. Some techniques that I used are that I drew my name on the foam and then cut out my name in the foam. I was inspired by the examples my art teacher showed me, to do my artwork. My artwork was not a personal or social issue what was expressed. The emotion that I tried to show in my artwork is a fun emotion. Some of my goals as a artist are that I would be able to identify the elements in my artwork. This piece of artwork did indeed help me with my artwork. This is because the artwork helped me identify pattern which is a element. I learned that you have to do multiple coats of paint when painting the foam. My final piece is what I imagined. This is because I thought my artwork in my head and then made the sculpture. This artwork will influence my future artworks by knowing that I will take my time when I draw artwork of mine.

The title of my first piece is Zentengle the subject matter is animal in the jungle and it looks like a jungle. It is has pencil lines and shapes with marker for contrast. This piece expresses no personal or social issues but is personal because there are characters that I created. It expresses the emotion of boredom. I did not expect anything certain for this piece so I guess it did not turn out as I expected. The goal for this piece was to do it and that is how this piece helped me reach my goal. This piece will influence my future pieces because I learned that marker can help with contrasting.

My artwork is a lot of designs and shapes into one. It is my Zen tangle. I obviously used noting but pencils in my piece. I used all shapes possible and filled them in with zen tangle designs. I used rulers and rounded object to light draw a base shape to guild myself. I overlapped, dotted areas, shaded, and drew with thick and thin lines. No one inspired to to create this, but different objects did with there different patterns and animal prints and checkered items. I don't think that my art expresses a personal or social issue at all. I feel like it gives off a wow feeling and kinda of a rush feeling because of all the designs that kinda of pop out. My goals as an artist is to create very successful,realistic, detailed piece of art. I want to make my art noticeable and to male it seem popping out. This piece of art did/is helping me reach my goals. I learned that leaving space in art is good and that all of it doesn't need to be filled in. The final piece is not what i imagined it, but i am happy with how it turned out. I used a lot of different lines and patterns to create this and I feel like my base lines had a big part of the zen tangle. My future artwork will have a focus point and not to much in the picture.

My artwork looks like bugs on leaves in the forest. My artwork is called "Bugs in line". The elements or principles that are most obvious in my artwork are shape, line,and pattern. The media that my artwork is used from is pen and paper. Some techniques that I used in are that I used pencil first and then when I was finished drawing I traced my artwork with pen. I was inspired by the examples my art teacher showed me, to do my artwork. My artwork was not a personal or social issue what was expressed.The emotions that I tried to show in my artwork is a calm emotion. Some of my goals as a artist are that I would be able to identify the elements in my artworks. This piece of artwork did indeed help me with my artwork. This is because this artwork helped me identify pattern, which is a element. I learned that zentangles looks good with nature. My final piece is what I imagined.

The artwork i made is called many faces}.My art looks like a wave of faces flying through the paper ,with a variety of colors and faces it looks good.I think i did a fairly good job on my art.It isn't the best thing ever but somethings just stands out to me about the colors ,the variety of faces and even the mistakes look as if they blend in to me.The subject of my art is to show everyone's different and no one looks the same ,I didn't try to make the same faces over and over again and I wanted my art to be different from others and I did a good job on that.In my art i used the color element the most as well as balance in the colors.My medium is water color and the tools I used were a paint brush and pencil it may sound simple but it led to a good product.The process i used was the zen tangle but instead of separate pieces of paper i just traced it was easier faster and the completed version came out practically the same but you don't want to mess it up or your product could turn out completely different.The moon inspired my art work because if you get rid of all the colors and keep the shape (Without the nose) it looks like a moon.My artwork doesn't mean anything in particular.My goal as an artist...well not even an artist I just would like to be a jack at all trades and be good at many things and art is on of them and so far  not where i want to be but every art i make in here gets me closer to my goal.I learned that water colors are hard to work with and i learned how to do zen tangles and considering its my first time.... I did pretty good!It isn't what i expected it to be but i did good personally because the colors matched up and the balance was good as well.This piece might influence me to make more zen tangles in the future.Who knows if i grow up i might even teach me kids.

My art work is a tessellation of mushrooms which are yellow and orange and then as i get lower to the bottom of the art work the colors change into bright colors all the mushrooms are the same shape size.What i learned after i finished making my artwork i learned i should have never changed the color of the mushrooms and never should have put sharpie on them.I think my artwork is a little messy and i could have been a lot neater and maybe put more art elements into the tessellation, Also i could have cut the first tessellation a lot better and maybe taped it much better so it made a clean mushroom on the paper.My goals in the art work were to make a cool looking mushroom with nice designs and lots of art elements in it but as i began making it i became lazy and didn't put that many elements in it and my mushrooms became to not look like mushrooms anymore either.I created my artwork using a regular drawing paper with a tessellation and water colors i also used sharpie, but i did the tessellation processes by making a first making a template  and then using it to draw onto the regular drawing paper after that i colored the mushroom with water colors let it dry and then drew out the mushroom with a sharpie

My artwork is of 5 bugs that are filled in with zen tangles. It's based on the different types of bugs in the world, but we chose only 5. I drew them bigger so they would fill up the entire page. The title I gave it is Bugs because the art work is just bugs with colorful design.I used a lot of rounded shapes as the bodies, there sizes were all different. Since we were supposed to draw a cluster of 5 bugs that I thought were cool; dragon fly, wasp, black widow, butterfly, and a lady bug. I drew them in pencil first then filled them with zen tangles with colored pencils. Most of the zen tangles i made were from random shapes and checkered patterns. The different bright colors and different bugs that i could chose from inspired me to create the artwork i created. I don't think that my artwork expresses a personal or social issue in my opinion. I feel like it sends a happy feeling because of the mix of colors and patterns. My goal for this artwork is to send a happy feeling towards viewers. As an artist over the years to come, I would like to accomplish my goal of a successful human face portrait. I feel like this artwork did not help my reach my goal because it doesn't relate to it at all. I learned that color is a big part in feeling and balance. The thickness of lines also help make a piece of art. The final piece of my art work did turn out how i wanted it to.
