Although the chalk techniques were a little messy, it was a really fun experience to tryout and learn these chalk art techniques.    Mostly because of the lovely art and textures you can create using these cool techniques, and the funny feeling of chalk on your fingertips.     The chalk techniques that I mostly liked were feathering, blending, and dusting.                                 I liked feathering because of the realistic features and textures of fur, hair, etc., you can recreate with this technique.  Blending is a technique which I considered was very interesting, because of how you can mix the chalk colors together by blending them.              Of course, dusting was my favorite out of all of these three, because of how it’s like one of those stress relief videos where they scrape different colors of soap.

In a way, I’m actually pretty familiar with these techniques and concepts, since I really love painting!  Though, the technique that is truly new to me, is the edge/cut-in.   It seems very interesting, and I really hope to have more opportunities to use and develop  this technique in future projects!  I really enjoyed seeing the video and learning the different names of each of these techniques.  Which it is pretty embarrassing that I had been using some of these techniques without truly knowing their names. 😅

The rubbing alcohol and Crayola markers artwork technique was very fun to experiment with!    It was a little tricky at first finding the right combinations, since colors like red automatically turned yellow with the alcohol.   I choose to draw this cute little teddy bear because it was just so cute, and I really wanted to try out this technique on it!   The brown color was a bit of a challenge to make, since the brown marker ink combined with the alcohol formed pink.  The good thing is that after experimenting and playing around with the color combinations and mixtures, I finally found that brown with a hint of red became the perfect color of brown.  For the lighter brownish tone on the mouth, the belly and in the ears, I used a lot of yellow and a hint of red and brown.

I absolutely loved using colored pencils, mostly because of how the color and texture was so controllable. Hatching and cross hatching are some colored pencil techniques I definitely did not know existed, and I am very excited to use them in upcoming projects!  I really enjoyed learning and trying out these super cool colored pencil techniques, and I can’t wait to use them again!

I had a lot of fun trying out all of these very interesting techniques!   Though, the technique that best suited me was rendering, because of its incredible versatile textures and the amazing 3D drawings you can make with this technique.
To be honest, all of the techniques except blending are new to me. 😅   Though I am very eager to play around and learn more about all of these different techniques, and discover more amazing techniques like these!

I feel the artist used watercolor and sharpie markers to do this artwork, due to the fade and spread of the color and the line details created with a sharpie.
I think the element that mostly stands out in this artwork is line, because of its contrast between the color and the amazing line definition.
The meaning I think this artwork represents and expresses is dawn and sunset, meeting up and expressing their sorrowfulness of not being able to meet, seeing themselves as upside down from each other.  Which could represent the artist’s feeling that he/she can’t connect to who he/she loves, to the point were the artist feels they can’t be together, like dawn and sunset.

Another fun fact about me is that, Angie, is not my nickname— Which I know it sounds crazy, though it is actually my real legal name. 😅     As you may have noticed, Angie, stands for angel.

A saying that I usually say about my name is that Angie is like Angel, though instead of an l it has an i in between g and e.

I love the fact that my name is composed of 5 letters, which is my favorite number.

Thought the best part about my name is that it’s like a cute nickname, so when people call me by it, it makes them feel close to me!

Hi!

I am Angie Gonzalez and I am a very eager and creative girl! 😃🤗🌸

I love art and crafts, in the past I have gone to some drawing and painting lessons. Which is where I learned how to draw with oil crayons and water color pencils.  I also love to read and write, I have written about two 10-page booklets and 6 fun mini fantasy stories.  I love going horseback riding, and learned how to handle a scaredy-cat horse (Lol 😂😅).  I have played volleyball for about 2 years now, it was so fun, and I spent a wonderful time making friends and playing against other teams. I am officially 14 years old, 2 months, and 1 day old — since my birthday is July 26th.

For some reason I always have unbelievable adventures out of no where, just by doing ordinary things.

Like one time that I planted some tree seeds in our backyard, and my dog, Twinky, wouldn’t stop going to the bathroom on them.  So I put up posters I had made using paper and s’more sticks, that said, “Don’t Let Twinky Go Beyond This.”  In order to know where I put the tree seeds, so I could see that Twinky didn’t get close to them.  The only problem was that the incident of a police officer who killed a black man had just happened. You might wonder what this has to do with my poster, right?  Well you see, because of this people started putting up posters in protest of what happened.  So every time a car would pass by, it would stop and try to read my poster, and then the people in the car would leave laughing. This is because they thought I was calling the officer, “Twinky,” so they thought my poster was to make fun of him.   As in, don’t let officer, “Twinky,” get beyond what he did. Which was the funniest thing, though after a while my parents made me bring down the posters.  Which was great, because a few minutes after I toke them down, 3 police cars arrived at our neighborhood, looking for the house who put up those posters. 😅
