This is my art piece made out of watercolour and black patterns. The Zentangles being arranged in different patterns and shapes make this piece very unique. I had gotten inspiration for this piece by many cool artists online, and I found many good artworks on pinterest! When I make my art pieces,  I like it to be simple and not too complicated. Overall, I loved making this and it was so fun!

This art piece is made out of acrylic paint on paper. What  I think makes this a Unique Piece is the colour inside the heart because all the colours match really well and the technique makes it look like a really cool background. I got inspired to make this piece because I saw lots of similar ones but also different on the internet and I thought it would be cool to create one.I like creating this piece because I think it's really fun to use paint because there's so many different techniques you can use all in one piece when you're creating something with it.

For my independent project my themes were community and relationships. The reasons these subjects matter for me and the reason as to why I chose these two topics is because I wanted to do kind of a darker side of them like shattered communities and then also do like broken relationships. My message through my piece was saying on one side sometimes even though the world around you can be happy sometimes you're still just upset and sad inside and on the other side it's the opposite like sometimes your community and everything can be broken and dark but you can carry on and become a better version of yourself and simply just more forward. Making this piece was quite a journey. First I hydro dipped the background black by using spray paint in water and dipping a canvas inside, next I did the watercolor world and searched for words to go inside the locations on the globe. Then I wanted to push myself and extend my limits so I did the other half! First I learned a cool new technique called ink dipping where you put little ink droplets in water similar to hydro dipping but it makes more of a water color a more liquifyed light vibe. So I did that and then I used acrylic paint and did the world, next I found words and cut and glued them from a magazine onto my work. Finally I chose a beautiful quote that I thought really resembled this piece and I wrote it around the two worlds connecting them. In my artwork I was trying to express overcoming negative emotions through my piece and it kind of resemble personal issues I have had in the past so I wanted to do a piece about how I felt and how i feel now like the light background was me before when i felt as if everyone around me was super happy but inside i was going through a really hard time and then the dark background with the light world was kind of resembling men overcoming those rough patches and moving forward. My goal through making this piece was to push myself and try some new thing which I think I definitely did because I extended my thinking and tried new things and learned alot from it too! In conclusion, I learned alot from making this piece. For example, new techniques like hydro dipping and ink dieing and even just learning to extend myself and push my limits. My final piece is even better than I imagined. I am so proud of myself and can’t wait to do my next piece.

This is my interpretation of a TIME magazine. I was inspired by TIME"s magazine covers and decided to design my own and step out of my comfort zone by trying out photography instead of creating a drawing or painting. The picture represents how young children are impacted by this virus. They are the ones struggling the most, without social interaction with their teachers and peers it's challenging for them to learn and stay entertained at home. In my personal experience, I started noticing Aaron was getting tired of going through the same routine everyday and was struggling to learn online, which is why social distancing has a negative impact on young minds. I created this by having a mini photoshoot with Aaron, editing it black and white and then use the app BeFunky the photoshop the template and words on. I'm proud of this art piece and I look forward to doing more photography in the future! :)

My artwork that I have created is a soccer field with my favorite soccer player. The title for my artwork is 5 years later. I named this piece 5 years later because I am 14 right now and 5 years later, Canada is hosting the next Fifa World Cup. Therefore the Canadian team is automatically qualified. Also 5 years later, I will be 19 which I have a chance to make the national team and play in the world cup. My goal is to express my feelings, my passion, my love for the game. How it would influence me in the future is to see if I have achieved my goal. I will put this on my wall and it will remind me everyday to work harder. Some elements that I tried to grasp are the grass getting lighter and lighter. This is because it has an effect of showing distance and less 2 dimensional.

Artist statement:  This art piece was made from photoshop. What  I think makes this a Unique Piece is the photos  because the represent our global pandemic from different perspectives and how others feel. I created this art piece because I thought it was very good portrayal of the world around us. What motivated me and why I wanted to create this piece was me expressing my feelings and pains and issues with others and how they feel as well. What gave me inspiration for this artwork was a video I saw on youtube were a farther was telling his son of what happned during 2020 and what our postive and negative benifits were.

Digital Illustration
Artist statement: My art piece "Beyond the Horizon" shows a boy kayaking down a lake alone and surrounded by nature. This art piece shows what it's like for me to be calm and isolated with my own thoughts. I think what makes this a unique piece is that it is a digital illustration. I did this piece during online school and recently I have been exploring different types of digital artwork instead of using standard art mediums. Digital illustration is also a great medium to use when you are at home and don't have all the supplies that you would normally have in art class. I am very proud of how my final piece turned out and I am looking forward to continue exploring different art mediums.

This piece I created below was a piece to show my love for the cities Barcelona, Paris & London. The name "The Skyline" came to mind when I made an actual skyline of each city. I used oil pastels to make the sharpie skyline pop out and blended the different oil pastel colors. During this pandemic, as we are not allowed to travel I thought that I should make a piece that makes you feel that you are there. I am happy with how this piece turned out and hope to make many more pieces in the near future. (Trust me it looks better in real life).

This is an observational drawing I did of my window. I used HB pencils to create the drawing and shading. It is drawn on plain paper. My idea was what is going on outside our windows and happening in the world. Sometimes I feel like myself and everyone are in their own little bubbles and aren't paying attention to the world around them. This piece is a reminder for everyone to go outside and look past your window. Even though we are dealing with challenging times you can still find positive things in your life.

Paper and cardboard.

This piece is an abstract box. It has no meaning and is all up to interpretation as its just a box with shapes stuck to it. It doesn't mean anything to me but it might for you. I used what was near me which was paper and cardboard. I just made random shapes and taped them together.

For the observational drawing assignment I drew my lamp. I chose it because it was the first thing that I saw.

This piece was a digital art piece made online. My inspiration for the patterns was random, but it took me a long time to make the patterns in a way that I liked. I chose different brush textures to make it look different than if I were to do this on paper. If I were to redo the art piece I would put the woman on the bottom of the piece instead of having her float.

My art piece is supposed to bring a sense of belonging, the title being “The Mixed Field” is a piece with an odd blue sunflower and the normal yellow/orange sunflower. The blue flowers being opposite colours really stand out and it becomes the main focus. For this art piece I used watercolour paint, watercolour pencils, prisma colour pencils, pencils(HB), fine liner. I started off with making the sunflowers with fine liner, after that I would colour the petals in with watercolour and prisma colour pencils, then I would colour the grass with watercolour paint, after that I would colour the stems and leafs with watercolour pencils, I would then start my sunset starting with the orange then the yellow then the blue. The blue sunflowers are meant to be different and odd compared to the normal sunflower but is still allowed to be in the field, you should take this into your own life and be who you want to be, not who someone else wants you to be.
