I took a different route with my piece this time. I wanted to create a piece of work that some people would not expect me to create. I use to be a dancer and wanted to be an acrobat/contortionist. Therefore, for my figure piece, I chose a contortionist.  I had difficulty painting the face because the paint dried so quickly that when I would go back to touch up the face, I would have to repaint the entire face for the face to be the same (similar) color. Aside from that, I am very happy with how this piece turned out.

I really wanted to paint a portrait of someone so i decided to begin there! I have always lacked creativity so I began with very little and tried to let myself figure things out as i went.

I finished the face and began with the hair. Recently, I have dyed my hair so i thought that by having some cool colors would make this painting fun especially with the watercolor.

because the hair and face is so opaque, I wanted the background to look more transparent. Therefore, I used more water and just let it do whatever the paint did.

final project

Idea: Dance was something I did for many, many years before I had a back injury that made me stop. Something that was always fun was partner dancing because it require trust. Dance grounded me for a long time and my friends do as well so I was going to draw my friend as my partner!

Idea continued... With all that has been said, the legs is me drifting off into space and there will be hands which are to symbolize my friends to reach up for me to pull me back down to ground me. I was thinking to really emphasize the fact that I was drifting away into space and looking down on Earth and reality by drawing some things like trees in a birds eyes view.

Inspiration: I have been really inspired and fascinated by space. I think it's just absolutely crazy that space, an endless space is approx. 100 M from the ground. I have also been obsessed with the X files and the possibility that there is life outside of planet Earth.
Idea: I am a pretty oblivious person at times and I often SPACE ( ;) ) out in class, at home, with friends, etc. In the past year and more so these past few months, my anxiety and insecurities have been really bad. I definitely feel as if isolation and just having my own SPACE ( ;) ;) ) to think and reflect upon myself helps me get myself together, but in reality it doesn't always help. Sometimes, what I really need is friends to keep me grounded.

My group and I worked wonderfully together! We all had our own unique style yet when we were asked to make one collective piece, we took in consideration every suggestion! Our mural definitely depicts each members' creativity.

Good paper!! I am not that great or experienced with mediums aside from pencil. Slow progress, but I love how the colors are building.The jeans still need lots of work; I think the color is still off :/, but my vans are turning out better than I would've hoped for.
