This project for me was all about imagination and color. Instead of coloring the outside of the box, I rekindled my love for markers, while purposefully coloring the inside of the box to represent imagination and creativity while leaving the outside blank and colorless to represent the mind, head, and bland outside world.

Looking at these three art pieces, first, I am in shock of others creativity! The three pieces above contain many wonderful, and frankly my favorite, techniques present in art. In each image, the artist incorporates aspects of repetition, which enhances each image with grace, and allows the eye to follow around the image specifically directed with purpose from the artist. The color and lines, show the artist's line growth with use of contour and organic lines, specifically images one and two with the shapes of the hair and the body form. Image three stands out to me the most. I really enjoy the color and the use of the unnatural paper shape, it really influences and compliments each aspect of the piece.

Thank you for everything, Mrs. Stevenson!
So sorry about the confusion with this assignment!!
Have a great summer and I will definitely visit you in the future!

Thank you so much for EVERYTHING! I LOVED being in your class and getting to learn and (even relearn!) new things everyday. I will miss seeing your shining face everyday! You're always such a nice and happy constant in a chaotic school day and even year! I wish you the best and hopefully I can come back and visit very soon to show you some of my current work! Thank you so much again and I hope I will see you at Graduation!

What were the grid categories you used for this artwork?  What was most successful as you worked with the categories?  Explain.
- I used the Material, Composition, and Skill boxes to work with my favorite medium, water color, one more time but use it in a different way by altering the final image with an artist's version of rubber cement. I loved having the freedom to pick what what I wanted to create, with still having a little structure while using a "  t  " composition. While the "  t  " composition was harder than I thought, the composition is present mostly in the fish's structure.

What did you learn by creating this artwork (composition, materials, technique, meaning, etc.) that you can apply to future work?
- I learned to "roll with the punches." I went into this project totally excited. I practiced for probably more time than I should have because I knew this was my last watercolor in school, and I wanted to make it memorable.  While I was practicing, I was trying to almost 'tie dye' the backdrop and fish with a large water bubble on the paper. (I hope that makes sense!) After struggling with that. I tried painting with a larger brush and more water focusing on the backdrop,  which was very different for me, because I liked to paint with a 70-30 ratio of paint to water, which I really tried to stay away from this project. I changed many things last minute, which didn't turn out all that bad. (I think I need to start painting more with my heart than my head!  ) I really enjoyed furthering my knowledge of water color and learning other ways I can alter the image!  I am 99.9% sure I will be buying some of my own watercolor this summer, (because I don't think I can touch my grandfather's!! hehe :) ) and I definitely want to keep pursuing and growing my knowledge and passion of watercolor, strengthening my skill and my bond with my grandfather.

PS... Scroll all the way down... :)

5 And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, kthe Lion lof the tribe of Judah, mthe Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”

6 And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw na Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with oseven eyes, which are pthe seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

Theme Assignment due 4/13. Be sure to give me the actual artwork and post in-process/ final artwork photos on Padlet. In a text box on Padlet, explain how your artwork explores the theme you chose. Depth of concept is an important part of project evaluation, so the quality of your explanation will make a difference in your project grade. I f you need additional time, you can finish the project by 4/20 (only late credit after that), using your own time outside of class. Work in the classroom during an open or before school.

My artwork is focused on my choice of faith and how people react to it. The song God's Not Dead by the Newsboys fueled the emotion and connection in my piece, as well as many christian rock songs. (See side for part of the Chorus.) My faith is very important to me and makes up a big part of my daily life. When I was making this piece, I  put all my passion and faith into each stroke, praising Him. Because the art was fueled by my faith, I understand many people don't agree with me or possibly don't believe at all, and think God is a Myth. I used this piece to represent that it is not a myth to me and is very real and present in my life. The lion is tribute to the song lyrics and also holds a connection to scripture, Revelation 5:5-6. (See Side.) I used the cross to aid the composition, to balance out the heavy right side with the left and further prove my roots in God's "myth."

MY GOD'S NOT DEAD HE'S LIVING ON THE INSIDE ROARING LIKE A LION.

(Because the sketches are light on the pictures and you kinda cant see them...)
It will be a green grass, rolling hills, blue sky, beautiful barnyard, with a goat grazing, but in the middle left of the composition there will be an emergancy exit door.
It's a Scapegoat... :)
