Reflection: For this project, The main 3 colors of ink I used were Red,Green and Blue. I wanted to create a Alien head with a galaxy background to make the alien pop out. Unfortunately, I feel like i could blended the colors better so the colors looked less dark/sloppy. I feel like I rushed through this project and I am a bit bummed out on how the project overall turned out. I wish I spent more time on this so it would not look so rushed. I also had a bit trouble sticking to the colors i was using and it was a bit of a struggle to complete this project due to the limited colors. I did enjoy working with the colored inks but honestly I feel like i should really practice with them more so I can learn how to blend/mix the inks together to create a better color blend for future art projects.

Reflection: For this project, I used the theme statement by using symbols from pop culture. I really got inspired using symbols because I thought it would be a good way to make a statement without using words. I used color ink for the 1st time and I really enjoyed doing it. I liked how vibrant some of the ink turned out on the project. One thing I struggled with is how when i mixed some of inks together, it created dark areas. It was a bit hard to blend the colors. But I really enjoyed working with the colored ink and created a vibrant painting.

Reflection: For this project I decided to a do aquatic theme by tracing the shadows of sea shells I found around the classroom. I used a cool color composition to give off a nice ocean vibe. The turtle and dolphin were traced from this large conch shell I found. I also used smaller shells to create some coral. I wanted to make this project pop so I used some oranges/ pinks as well so it was more pleasing on the eye. Overall this project was a tad bit complex because I had to trace a lot of shadows to create a sea of coral and  it was very time consuming but it did pay off in the end because it did create a nice composition overall.

Reflection: This is my completed theme show project. The theme this year was ''Growth'' and I really got inspired for this project. The main idea for this project was that i wanted to show death can give life which causes growth. I drew a zombie hand and in the palm I drew a flower growing out of the palm of the hand. I used decomposition as a inspiration for the zombie hand because plants thrive off natural elements from the soil. I would have to say this project was a bit rushed and I wish I had more time to complete it so it did not look sloppy. Overall I think my overall concept came out nicely and I really liked creating it.

Reflection: This is my completed shadow play project. I used shadows from various objects around the drawing/painting room. I traced the shadows to create a overall good composition. Some areas that show growth are the areas where i blended colors together to great a nice color overall. One of the things I struggled with was tracing the shadows because if I moved the object in the slightest, I would lose the shadow outline and that was frustrating. I am very proud of this project because it gave me a chance to practice blending/shading which helped me learn as an artist and further my artistic career.
