This is one I will be revising **

# data[].attributes.body
lets regroup...

# data[].attributes.body
This is definitely only partially completed, and I need to edit everything together in order to have a physical, final product. I think that the use of watercolor strokes and patterns in this abstract manner shows some more synthesis and cohesion within my portfolio, which I hope to continue in some other works as well, to display movement and some depth.
How does it work with my question?
- Again, I think the movement present within the water color strokes works to display an uncomfortable or a dynamic presence of movement that can instill that theme further.

# data[].attributes.body
While this happened kind-of on accident, I think it panned out decently in the end. I wanted to find a way to utilize this disaster and make it more meaningful in regards to my question. I think by highlighting the broken pieces on the white back ground, I am starkly embedding their damaging to the viewer, and making it known almost as a reminder that homes and places with memories can shatter and change with time. The wire in a swirl pattern is used to make the view aware that there is confusion and upsetting feelings towards a change as such, as swirls can often represent.
How does it work with my question?
- I think I can write a longer synthesis and explain what happened with the home shattering, and how that can be extremely metaphoric in my case, where i'm displaying uncomfortability with childhood and change, as I think it is easily represented in this piece.

# data[].attributes.body
For this work, I really wanted to remove the kitschy/crafty vibe of what it had before with all the fabrics. I really wanted to continue this watercolor-pattern theme, because I think the movement and layer it provides adds an interesting depth I was lacking before, and it's something I can use within more of my works to display a deeper understanding of synthesis.
How does it work with my question?
- I think with my new question, which may need to be altered just a tad, this works pretty well with the depiction of me as a child. I think the look on my face is pretty telling, and the cohesive color choice and movement in the background can work to show the incongruent or abstract emotional patterns within my childhood.

# data[].attributes.body
My process so far has been flopping a little... I really think once I complete art work 6 in this style I am attempting to achieve I will hopefully be able to completely revise at least one more work in my portfolio and have a more cohesive work load.

# data[].attributes.body
How can I illustrate uncomfortability within my childhood?

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not completely sure what you are going for, but you used the word layering and it made me think of this. This might link this artwork to artwork 4 also with the layers.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a sketch of my little brother, I plan to use photoshop again and maybe refine my skill a little bit, but I also want to make a collage with this sketch layered with other photographs of my family, and other sketches of birds and windows, to display the childhood he has ahead of him much like my own which has fleeted.

# data[].attributes.body
just kind of finding inspiration and having fun

# data[].attributes.body
I also like this and think I can utilize the space of it.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like the vibe of this and i think I can use it somehow

# data[].attributes.body
I think I have room for revision in this piece, but the concept was there I just had a hard time putting everything together in a way that I liked. I wanted this piece to tie into my theme of depicting a childhood memory that also displays my father and i's relationship. I think with the contrast of him in a gorilla suit and me as a child, there is a visual disconnect in the types of people we are. The layers of the messier sketch in the background and the repeated masking tape-sticker-faces I think stabilize how our relationship has always been stagnant, as he is emotionally distant or emotionally has the same responses as a gorilla would, usually irate and incapable of reciprocating proper affection (for lack of a better word)

# data[].attributes.body
I went in on photoshop and layered all my drawings together

# data[].attributes.body
I think I'm going to crop it a little more in some areas during my revision, and this is supposed to be a digital composite so it is clearer, but I have yet to get access to a digital scanner to put these together to make them clearer, you and I can conference about this when I see you on Thursday.

# data[].attributes.body
Changed my reference photo, this is a sketch and I plan to create the entire image with tape.

# data[].attributes.body
Further experimentation

# data[].attributes.body
This is my thought process is I want to make a piece with sketches underneath of myself, and then layer masking tape on top in order to create a really cool effect with some collages of other objects on top of all my sketches. I want to make some objects like an air balloon, a hand, a maybe some flowers that will work well with my art and create a blurry and kind of faded effect of the sketches, tying into my theme

# data[].attributes.body
This is my 3rd artwork that is awaiting revision. I think with some more acrylic paint shaping the figures like the house and the tree and further pencil blending will aid the messy appearance. I am awaiting to coat it with either clear glaze or spray finish, as I'm not sure what specific effect I want for the final piece yet. This work is supposed to fall in place with all my other works as my grandparents have owned this house since I was born. I’ve lived here, cried here, laughed here, etc. and I really wanted to continue my still-life theme with the house visibly drawn in colored pencil, and convoluted in shape by the  swirl in the center. As my grandparents get older, considering the recent death of my Grandpa, this is a little eerie as the old magic this house once had now makes me a little uneasy every time I visit.

# data[].attributes.body
This is where I realized that there is a reason why people do not use colored pencil on ceramic. I was really struggling and felt very unsure of how I should finish this.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my reference photo, it is my grandparents house.

# data[].attributes.body
These are the slides I made, they are bisque fired and ready to be painted on with acrylic, which is what I intend to use. I created a ripple kind of appearance in one of them and a smooth one, just incase what I intend to do doesn't work out. I want to paint a picture of my grandparents house on the swirl, making a warped and skewed image to depict a blurry image.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my final piece, I put more elements of blue with thin string and the gingham background to match the dress and contrast with the orange tones in the hair and skin. I hope to convey the patterns of traditional fabric working and enclosure of the portrait to represent how enamored I am with my childhood. The lace is supposed to give off a theme of innocence as well as the blue, to encapsulate the simplicity of childhood that isn't easy to finitely capture; the sort of messy/chaotic placing of the fabric should label that.

# data[].attributes.body
I made a few ceramic pieces to use for this, one being a swirl that I intend to add somewhere to cohesively work with the other swirl motifs I have. I was waiting for these to be fired before being able to begin my project.

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted to do something with fabric textiles and other traditional sewing materials in order to "sew myself in" to the childhood I remember that felt very light and stragley like the sort of chaotic vibe of the fabric together.

This will be a textile work with layers of fabric quilted together, depicting a sort of "tunnel" that leads to a portrait of a woman in the middle, which will be a drawing of my great grandmother/ or the house they have lived in for years.

# data[].attributes.body
I still feel like there is something missing, but I intend to add to it later and do more research to then add something that better displays what I want to convey with this piece.
How does it tie to my question?
This is supposed to lead the viewer to feel some sort of mystery with this piece as we are only seeing the feet of the photo, and this resembles my own self-doubt, constantly second-guessing how much I know my older relatives whom I love if I have only known them towards the end of their lives. There is a mystery I feel like will never be satisfied with my knowledge of their journeys as I only ever hear them through stories.

# data[].attributes.body
I was really keen on making sure it looked like a photograph at the top, so I added some guache white in order to create a glare on top of the drawing

# data[].attributes.body
This is closer to midway of me finishing this piece before I decided to cut off more space on the desk because it took too much attention away from the photo.

I like the similarity in these girls, and their position in this photo simulating that they could be related or have some sort of connection

# data[].attributes.body
I like this image specifically with the interesting use of object placement and the mentions of suburbia and such in this movie

# data[].attributes.body
I like the self reflection on this one and repetition in the work, as well as the muted color tones

I love the motion in this image, and the interesting use of layering. I always draw as if im drawing in an exposure photograph because I love the highlights and low lights

I like this artists use of perspective and color, as well as value is very dedicative of emotion and valor in his pieces

I love how Kubrick is able to capture moments with various emotions in his work, like this one with contrasting elements each character has compared to the scenery
