My personal project is a kaws bear created by using aluminum foil, air dry clay, wire, and paint. I picked this because I have always loved kaws bears and during the August 4 Beirut Port explosion, it was something I protected and brought with me to Dubai. In order to make it more personal for the background, I drew a blue background with white clouds symbolizing the peace that this object gave me.

I made this project in order to portray the ways people are in constant pain with one another. In life, we all go through struggles, yet don't remember that we are all enduring hardships simultaneously. We often forget to take a step back to look at the bigger picture and deeper meaning because we are so caught up in little problems. This piece captures the eeriness of life and the screams of being alone in togetherness.

I had always had a love of sailing, so as my final project in drawing I had wanted to create a piece that could properly encapsulate everything I love about it. I loved the minimalistic approach that most black and white drawings take on with just a pice of paper and a pen, so I had wanted to challenge myself with only using a pen. I had initially wanted to also include a sail boat, but thought that having the environment and atmosphere set the tone for the feeling of sailing would be better. I used a mix of a number of picture of summer to create the landscape and this frame.

I grew up making jewelry with my grandmother. She was a jeweler, and would buy lots of beads, pearls, and pieces to make jewelry with for me. She taught me how to make jewelry, but not with wire. I feel like making jewelry as a form of art is a way of treasuring her memory and doing something she loves. So I'm making rings using wire, beads, and crystals.

For my personal project I knew that early on I wanted to make a fashion magazine that fused elements of fashion and food together and I also knew that I wanted to use procreate as my medium. Food has always held a special place in my heart especially Mcdonalds. I eat Mcdonalds whenever I’m happy or sad and it is a staple in my life. I enjoy exploring different fashion styles and I wanted that to show in my work. I used different photos of outfits from pinterest and drew over them using a apple pencil on procreate. I enjoyed testing out different pens and textures to add depth and movement to my art work.

While walking through the streets of Amsterdam, I noticed a really cool and old car. I loved how its age and the age of the buildings around it were contrasted with some of the modern cars and pavement around it. I wanted to take a step back from the deep meanings in my pieces with empowering women and experiment with vibrant paintings;  I hope to blend the two ideas in the future.

My intention for this project was to develop a senses grid that demonstrates my impressions of the UAE. The swirls, watermelons, distorted bricks, and contrasting colors all attempt to demonstrate my feelings towards the UAE. I am extremely happy with this project as I was able to demonstrate how I feel, hear, see, touch, and taste of the UAE. My research taught me pastel techniques and gave me multitudes of inspiration to take form as I developed my final piece. This research ultimately aided me in brainstorming different compositions and practicing using pastel. I utilized the skills that I learned through research and media testing to aid me in developing my final piece and accomplishing my intention.

For this project I wanted to do some character studies based on a number of different kids cartoons that I used to watch when I was a kid, some examples being the regular show, Rick and Morty, adventure-time, and gravity falls. The characters are a bit ugly and fluid which I enjoyed in a lot of characters so I wanted to try working with lines but getting the hang of being able to draw more fluid shapes and learn to look at a reference and see the different shapes and lines present.

My overall idea came down to me wondering what it would be like to use album covers as a tool to show time passing and the changes in a person's beliefs and psyche. It explores the ideas of political instability, abuse of power, societal pressure and a myriad of other things. Music and by extension album art is a way to express oneself, to not have to hide behind a façade. I created these pieces as I wanted to explore a unique art form, that of album art. I wanted to better understand its importance and if it can create an emotion or thought without music being present. This series of work is about album covers and because of this I felt open to discuss my love for both art, music, and their crafts. I focused on using different fonts, art styles based on certain music genres, different brushes, colors and more so that each piece truly felt separate. Each choice tries to connect to the feelings of people and musical genre(s) of that point in time.

Cristiano Ronaldo is my favourite football player. He currently plays in a team that I do not support but then I decided to photoshop Ronaldo joining Bayern Munich (my favourite football team). I decided to use photoshop as I found it easier to use. When creating this I used multiple skills and different tools such as quick selection tools, layer masking, composites and texts. I used the layer mask to mask Ronaldo’s face over the photo and make it look like he is wearing the shirt. I also used composites which I used to transform some tools.At the start I struggled with the layer mask. I struggled with placing Ronaldo’s face to make it look like he is wearing the shirt, but after watching the tutorial video I got it pretty quickly.

My intention is to reimagine minimalist photography into a pop art extraterrestrial form. I have researched Andy Warhol to really get a full understanding of pop art. I also looked into some landscape of mars to get an understanding of what the landscape would look like. This means a lot to me because I am truly interested in what us humans are capable of, and believe that we can be a multi-planetary species.

My personal project is a sketch of some characters from one of my favorite video games. I added my own little twist to it because copying the old colors would have been a little easy. I could have done better to fill in the space above them but I feel it looks good.

I designed the concept for this character over my time in the CDI painting module. I wanted to paint something with strong contrasting colors and and fine details to emphasize the boldness of the character. This piece was inspired by the composition of tarot cards and how they display one or more characters to represent a concept or idea. I also took a bit of inspiration from Greek/Roman mythology to design this character, I thought she might be a warrior or protector for the sun god known as Helios. In paintings he is often depicted with his golden chariot or other big sun inspired paraphernalia. So I wanted to convert that idea into the sun that she is shielding behind her.

For my color module's media testing, I chose draw another eye but not as realistic as my previous module. I wanted to focus on getting the color scheme correct and the shape of the eye; versus focusing on realism.

Shadows are a major part of our lives.  The shadows of our past make up the positive and negative in our lives.  However, the shadows of our past make us come alive and have made us who we are.  Such as the portrait, without the shadows, would be dull and plain; but the shadows allow the piece to come alive, just as it does with one's self.
