For this SI, I wanted to try something out of my comfort zone and use more than one media to make a bigger piece. I wanted a piece that showed a deeper image of what anxiety and stress do. The crayon shows the anxiety, because to me anxiety is crazy and not controlled, almost all over the place. The colors are scribbled everywhere and in different directions so it represents something out of order. The newspaper represent stress. Some of the newspaper pieces are covered in coffee to represent old thoughts, the rest are not covered so they represent newer thoughts. All thoughts can cause stress, both old and new.

# data[].attributes.body
In this artwork I wanted it to show the feeling of being watched. With anxiety specifically the overwhelming feeling that someone is watching you mess up or your wrongs happens often.

# data[].attributes.body
In this piece I wanted to convey the overwhelming feeling of being trapped inside your mind and body. I wanted it to be simplistic overall yet have meaning.

The darkness is crushing this man. He is being silenced but still screaming. in pain but still fighting.

for this piece I wanted it to be kinda like something you would see in your dreams, like a nightmare. If you stand far from it you can see that their is a shadow like person there but the closer you get up to it the more you see it. The teeth also have a hint of red on it.

This piece was supposed to show a space left behind but not exactly forgotten. I wanted yo show a place existing even without people in it. Im not very satisfied with it. I used a brush to try and ad interest instead of flat colors!

# data[].attributes.body
This piece is supposed to symbolize the flowers that my boyfriend said represented me as a person, as well as the color uses within the skin tone to show I’m able to be myself without having to hide as well what he feels towards me, I included the flowers in the background as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I'd first like to preface this by saying that I have had the biggest case of senioritis this month, and I began this artwork knowing that I wasn't going to finish it in time. The motivation just wasn't there for me. As you can see in the picture is that the only thing that I was really able to finish was the background and I basically just recreated what I did in SI#8 with different colors. The idea that I had for the figure is a black woman essentially letting her hair flow in the wind because there are a lot of public opinions that push the idea that people with our hair textures can't do that.

In this painting, I wanted to showcase the diversity of hair textures that black women can have. This one is very different compared to my other paintings in this series because of the background and hair texture. The background was inspired by a video that I saw on TikTok. The colors that I chose to be in the background came from some research on google to determine what colors look best on black women's skin.

# data[].attributes.body
This piece is supposed to symbolize someone reaching toward their faith. In my personal experience, this is me reaching toward my faith in Jesus, even when everything around me is "dark". (I changed my SI to talk about my faith incase anyone didn't know).

# data[].attributes.body
Another digital piece! the quality is poor over padlet so please excuse that. I wanted you add a rain effect to this piece but wasn't able to achieve the looked i hoped for. i'll have to practice that next. i wanted to convey abandonment through the odd pair of shoes left behind on a sidewalk.

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted to convey a memory I had with my boyfriend that had never been captured in a photograph but had been captured in our minds with this piece. We were swaying and smiling with each other, enjoying the time we had together before I had to leave the next day, This happened around 1 a.m. because I made us sandwiches and then we were just enjoying each other. The focus piece in the artwork would be the silhouettes because it shows it was a memory but I wanted to create a lot of detail in the piece as well. (I don't like drawing simplistic art lol.)

# data[].attributes.body
Sorry I think this is posting sideways but frankly I’m too tired to fix it. These are TREES
AS YOU CAN SEE
I’ve been going through a bit of a nature phase lately. I loved using these colors cause the yellow in the background makes it look very fantasy like and book style wise (aka im still putting it with my SI)
But…trees…I don’t really have my normal rant to go with this lol

# data[].attributes.body
For this SI I wanted something that had a cultural spin to it. I had a Native American soldier as a silhouette and the animals above him represent certain characteristic he presents. The deer represents speed and family protection. The butterfly represents everlasting life, the bear is the protector, and the Eagle represents freedom and courage. These animals are "spirits" that guide the soldier through their life.

# data[].attributes.body
For this piece i wanted to focus on one of my more personal stresses which is the "need" i feel to fall in love. The thought itself stresses me out and i tend to find myself focusing on it and it snowballing into many different things. so I illustrated myself almost entranced by the idea of love.

# data[].attributes.body
for this piece, i wanted to go for a "shadow" like figure and "human" like features.also kinda wanted to have something you should see in your dream almost.So all the pink around the teeth and eyes are like your skin/ mussel. i added the glitter just to give the "shadow" more diemontion. I do feel like there is something missing if you have any ideas please let me know. :)

# data[].attributes.body
I experimented more with water color and mixed media for this piece. It’s a combination of water color, markers, and acrylic paint.
I’m not 100% sure I like the final result but I do love the process and really want to practice more. It still goes with my SI of stories and scenery.
I don’t really have much else to say. ✨water✨

This artwork was 100% just for experimentation. This was my first time using oil paint and it was very difficult. I liked the execution of my colors, but the oil over blended and it took forever to dry; it just didn't work well with me.

# data[].attributes.body
Recently I've lacked a lot of motivation and inspiration to create, so in this artwork I wanted to do something simple with a further meaning behind it.

# data[].attributes.body
For this piece wanted to do something brighter so i used a colorful piece of myself and i illustrated emotions through the random black scribbly lines. and funny enough what inspired me was watching spiderman into the spiderverse and liking how the spider sense looked.

# data[].attributes.body
This sustained investigation is to represent the anger and pain that is caused in the relationship. I wanted to show what others say makes me angry, but still have a hurtful impact on me as well. I focused the anger through the position of the body and the way the face was formed, while the spilling heart represents the pain seeping through.

# data[].attributes.body
I was feeling really unmotivated when i made this. I decided to just have fun and deterred from my original plan. I wanted yo create a spooky yet interesting atmosphere using lighting and environment.

# data[].attributes.body
This piece was something that I just put together to give my head a break from my sustained investigation. The details don't show up in the picture but they look a lot better in person. I felt that the dark brown and the cream went well together.

# data[].attributes.body
(not finished)
I intended for this artwork to be the back view of my painting from SI#5. It could also be its own independent thing because it doesn't match up exactly. Again the main focus of this artwork was the coils. The media I used was India ink and acrylic paint.

# data[].attributes.body
For this SI I wanted to focus more on the demons that haunt someone so much it consumes them. I wanted to use a black and white theme and so I used pencil to accomplish it. The shadow's around the hands are the "negative" things that consume us, it shows that the demon controls them, they are in his hands. This a very dark turn on this SI that I wanted to try.

# data[].attributes.body
with this piece, I really just wanted to keep it simple and just do eyes in distress. I was going to add more to the background but I wanted to keep it plain jane.

This project was originally as an assignment for my other Art III class. Where we had to re draw a cover for a classic literature book (I chose Peter and Wendy. The original Peter Pan story)
The scene I used shows him as the triumphant captain of the Jolly Roger after his fight with Hook. And also a reference to my own version of Peter Pan before he got on the Neverland when he was a crew member on the ship.
I used pen to draw the boat then I got carried away with a bunch of water color layers (the paper got really crinkled cause of it but it’s fiiiiiiiine) but I still ended up really loving it
And the name on the bottom of the page is the publishing house we had to make up for our book cover

My sustained investigation is surrounded by the symptoms of mental health and how it effects young people. In this specific piece I wanted to convey the feeling of being trapped inside your own head, this feeling is very common with many mental illnesses, especially depression. This is something that I personally experience, and because of that I wanted to represent it in my art.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a different approach on the SI. I wanted to represent the feeling of drowning almost. Falling and there is no way out. However, I used lighter colors on this so it's almost like yin and yang. I used water color and alcohol markers. Some of the markers did start to fade, so the shading isn't the best.

# data[].attributes.body
This is simple. It’s just a room. my inquiry deals with drug abuse and how it effects others. Although this room is decorated it is empty and plain. Drug abusers can have a home but that doesn’t me they didn’t lose many other things. A home can look like a home but not feel like one.

This actually isn’t the project I’ve been working on this week. The past few days have been really crappy mentally for me and I’ve been trying to break that Artist block for forever.
I finally did…then my genius self forgot to bring my painting home. So in place of that for a bit this is a project I did for my friends birthday. It’s a digital picture that I printed off and a continuation of my non binary deer thing (this ram is colored from the genderfaun flag, the quilt on his back has trans flags for my friend as well)
I think this turned out a heck of a lot better than the deer, there’s still a couple things I would change in the future but I can’t nit pick it forever. It IS digital tho so I have every power to 😎

# data[].attributes.body
This painting is composed of acrylic paint and India ink. This is meant to be apart of a series of artworks where one specific feature stands out. Just like the painting that I did prior to this (SI#5) the intention was for the hair to stand out the most.

# data[].attributes.body
For this piece I wanted to convey a feeling of abandonment using a non-living object as the focal. I really wanted to use strong lighting. I will be continuing this piece in the future

# data[].attributes.body
For this piece, i really wanted to exaggerate my sustained investigation through vibrant colors. I am starting to find myself to be more interested in human faces, so i freehanded three of them and added polarization for contrast.

# data[].attributes.body
with this piece, I wanted to have the spiders give off this creepy feel, almost like a nightmare. For the background, there are obvious webs but I didn't want to add too many to the point where the spiders are getting lost in it. This piece represents the persuasion of things around you. With the eye on the back, it will have the "prey" come closer to it due to its attractiveness.

I really don't know how to explain this artwork. Lately, I had been getting triggered to the point where it gives me emotional stress. #yasss

# data[].attributes.body
This is an oil painting, it is a still life that looks like a study on depth, but it’s actually supposed to represent meaningful things and inner jokes that me and my boyfriend have together. (We have more I just couldn’t remember because there is that much.)But each and individual object has something that represents a meaning.

# data[].attributes.body
Nevaeh Kirby. There are mask with different emotions coming from an emotionless mask. People can use their emotions as a mask to hide how they really feel.

# data[].attributes.body
For this weeks piece I decided to do a portrait of myself with a more simple message of how stress affects appearance so this is half of the message, the other half will be a present portrait. I am aware this piece is by far not my best but it was a learning experience so the next oil piece will be an improvement.

# data[].attributes.body
For this artwork I just wanted the hair to really be the main focus. I wanted the beauty of them to be represented. For the coils, I used India ink. I wanted them to have a lot of depth so that's why I chose the ink. The rest of the artwork was made with acrylic paint.

# data[].attributes.body
I did this still life last semester in art 3. We focused on showing lighting and contrast using mainly blue and yellow. My materials were acrylic paint (mixed with water for the background), charcoal vine, and book pages.

# data[].attributes.body
For this SI I wanted to try a different approach on representing emotions. I wanted to represent someone reaching out for help. This is an emotion of a person being trapped and reaching out for anyone to help them. I wanted the jail bars to represent the feeling of being held back and the hands as the symbol of asking for help.

# data[].attributes.body
My art demonstrates guilt, fear, and terror. I try out hot glue for line art for the first time. I like it. Pretty cool

For this sustained investigation I wanted to experiment with color versus absence of color. I am starting to notice a theme throughout my artworks that correlates with peace, and I wanted this one to represent peace as well. I am hoping the flowers give you a feeling of happiness and calm. I tried to make the flowers as vibrant as possible because I wanted them to deeply contrast with the woman and the background.

# data[].attributes.body
I started drawing animals all this week as a project for me and my friends. Our favorite animals colored with our LGBTQ flags. So I’m using one of our animals as my weekly project. This one is mine, a non binary deer,  using it as the Ginnipig.
I like to see how my personal style is starting to show and matching up with my favorite past projects with more unnatural, bold colors, and a fantasy/mythology kind of feel.
I think there’s some tweaks to made quality wise but overall I still think it fits

# data[].attributes.body
This piece represents the feeling we felt. We were both happy and felt loved while the time in the back felt as if every minute was an hour but still being present as normal.
The color use was to represent those emotions and the fading of the clock and hands were the representation of time not actually being normal and slowing down.

# data[].attributes.body
Before break, I wanted to do a piece that I am hoping makes you feel peace. Flowers, particularly lotus flowers, are meant to be symbols of life and death. This piece was meant to bring out life. The lotus flower also represents purity, and the hands are meant to symbolize someone holding on to their peace and purity. I experimented with another set of triad colors for my sustained investigation as well.

# data[].attributes.body
this piece is called seeing the unknow. i wanted to do something a little bit different and create an octopus. The meaning behind it is that you are always seeing something you don't want to see or forced to see no matter how much you try and look away from it. I replaced the suckers with eyes. The main eye in the middle of his face represents how you are hypnotized into one way of seeing and the tentacles are trying to see something different.

This piece represents the longing feeling I have every time I am on the phone with my boyfriend. I miss him very much and I'm usually sad but seeing him makes me feel a bit better which I showed that through the illumination of the yellow around my hand and from the screen, the blue in my hand representing the sadness, and the background representing the dull feeling I have without him. The thumb on the screen is supposed to show me stroking his cheek but through the screen because I am not able to do that until I see him again.

# data[].attributes.body
this a more detailed picture of the background

# data[].attributes.body
so the white stuff on the canvas is mod podge that hadnt yet dried when i took the picture and im going to submit another picture t show details but i guess just comment on this post of mine. For this piece i focused on the idea of turning a blind eye and seeing only what society wants you to see. I used watercolor, color pencil, and ink.

# data[].attributes.body
For my sustained investigation #2 I wanted to focus on depression and the feeling of falling into the absolute hopelessness and sadness, which is represented by the muted and darker blues. However, on the top their is a similar color which is more bright, which represents slowly falling from hope and happiness.

# data[].attributes.body
For this SI I wanted to try the perspective from a different view point. This is an eye that is showing the emotion it's "seeing"/ feeling. The emotion I tried to accomplish was someone feeling trapped inside their own mind and can't get out. They are stuck in a confined space, and their demons are coming back to haunt them.

# data[].attributes.body
i know this piece is very literal. i’m having trouble completing it because i really do not like this piece. i wanted to add someone on a cart that’s on the railroad, and showing them getting out of the cart. I wanted it to represent that it’s easy to stay on a bad path but you must “step out” and put in the work to get on the path that’s best for you. instead i added the words because i couldn’t draw what i imagined in my head.

# data[].attributes.body
So for this piece, it's body positivity. I wanted to do a thermal type color contrast I was going to do a gradient of one color but I had already done something like that so I wanted to try something different.

# data[].attributes.body
In this piece, I want to show how overwhelming it is when everyone is always watching you or around you. This personally reminds me of social anxiety because you always feel like people are watching you and judging how you are. I wanted this piece to be black and white. I also wanted it to have a messy-er look to it that was super clean. I wanted her eyes to be covered by her hair to help hide some of the emotions, but if you look you can see a teardrop. The big hypnotize eye is to represent your thinking of how everyone around you looks at you, I wanted that to be a negative note(reason for why she is that position)

# data[].attributes.body
In this piece, I decided to go out of my comfort zone a bit and try photography. I used a ring light along with my phone camera. Then after I took the picture I used the editing platform Pixlr to play around with the warmthness of my skin and to also accentuate my side profile. This goes along with my SI statement because it shows another diverse skin tone with a different nose and lip shape.

# data[].attributes.body
I have another piece, but the picture is ew. For this piece, I want to create of sense of alienation with my gender identity and my identity in general. I don't feel human at all.

# data[].attributes.body
In this piece, i wanted to use blue and orange as complementary colors. I was doing research on some different myths and landed of the myth of the Chinese Water Dragon and the Japanese Kitsune. In the past, Chinese and Japanese people believe that these mythical creatures held extensive power over their culture. The Chinese Water Dragon is a symbol for people who hold power and fame through honor and integrity. The Japanese kitsune was a symbol for immortality, superior intelligence, and power. The reason these two creatures are fighting is because Chinese cultures and Japanese cultures don't normally intertwine with one another. In this piece I used watercolors, colored pencils, and black ink. I feel like it could've been a little more smooth, There are parts of the dragon that I am not satisfied with, but overall, it's an alright piece.

# data[].attributes.body
This piece is very very vulnerable, I struggled so much with trying to create the final look and then I let my emotions get to me to create this piece I just want to say (ngl I started the piece over probably like five times because at first I wanted to do multimedia but I ended up working with acrylic because it was letting my mind flow more than what I was originally trying o do)...
But this piece is about literally how I feel and how my pain has always been covered and I have been forced to smile and move on from what happened. The hands represent the people in my life who have caused me to cover up my emotions and fake emotions. The ravens represent the mockery and how the words weigh down on me to show how they have physically and emotionally hurt me. The showing of the eye being uncovered from the hand represents the dead look I have and the eyes within the background represent the straining feeling I have when looking for a way to speak about my emotions.
This piece is really twisted, more than the one I did for SI #2 lol.

# data[].attributes.body
I finally did a full piece with the markers.
The more art I do for my SI the more I want to reword my inquiry (rn it’s Stories Through Scenery and I’m just not sure if it’s fitting with the style anymore)
But for the piece itself I expirimented a lot with more unnatural colors, and the designs are inspired by Egyptian columns that I’m more or less making my own. The type of column is very Egyptian like but the designs and “hieroglyphics“ are 100 me.
I was actually surprised on how the human silhouette ish style came out so for the next project I’m going to work again with human figures. Using the same style on something like a statue and this time possibly with some type of paint
(Also There’s a red line going through the bottom mushroom on the middle column cause I had changed ideas halfway through that part and it’s KILLING me but you know it’s fine just fine everything’s fine)

For this piece, I wanted to symbolize how people with addictions "burn" money on drugs. But I surrounded it in the thought processes they go through while doing it. I believe they feel trapped and there's no way out, so why not? When people are not exposed to the better things in life they rely on what they have/know. When they are not educated on the real world, they fall behind.

In this piece, I wanted to focus on scenery and reflection, but the concept of discovering and or mystery. With the white figure on the side-- I wanted to introduce a character but without directly saying what exactly what is happening.

In this artwork, I just wanted to depict a dark skin black woman in the state of being...I also intended for this to be in a series of paintings that show the different ranges of skin tones and the many diverse facial features that they can have.

# data[].attributes.body
Before this piece, I changed my inquiry question. I wanted to start off by stating what it is so that I can receive feedback: How does execution of different colors correlate with feelings and tones?
So for this piece, I experimented with triad colors. This isn't my best piece, and there are a lot of things I would have done differently; however, I tried to get it done with the little patience I had left. I incorporated Hawaiian symbols into the manta rays in this piece. These symbols don't have individual meanings, but they hopefully should remind everyone of Hawaii, or as some of you already said, Moana (lol). I am still trying to but more messages into my art so please give me some suggestions as to how I can do that. I didn't create symmetry in this piece because I wanted the focus to be more on the shape and flow of the manta rays. My goal with this piece was to manifest a feeling of calmness and flow. I also wanted to show some strength in shading and blending with my colored pencils. Kay, thank you for your time.

# data[].attributes.body
This art demonstrates feeling left behind in mile stones and feeling "slow" in life. I felt wounded and hurt by the world around me and I get angry at myself for not being "quick" enough like the other kids. In the end, I'm at fault in this life. The numbers represent age. The funny thing about the light at the end of the tunnel has a question mark ( I didn't intentionally draw that. LOL) Anyways, I'm aware that it's messy and ew lol

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted to be able to depict what I feel. The background is silent screams, the ribcage representing the feeling of being deprived, the melting which shows the overflow of emotions that cannot be contained, and the cuts and plants to show pain and numbing. It's a really dark piece but I wanted to showcase these feelings without actually being shown because that's the sole purpose of this, I wanted to show not everyone can see what you're going through, and sometimes it's just a feeling you can't help.

# data[].attributes.body
In my piece I wanted to focus on anxiety and depression so I have a girl looking off numb, but showing what really is going on in her head.

# data[].attributes.body
For this piece, I used my best friend to represent the emotion of calmness. I also wanted to go a different way with the medium. To show calmness I had her do something that calms her, she was journaling about book quotes that she likes. At first, I took one of her readings, but it looked forced, and that she was tense. This was taken while she wasn't thinking, so it looks more natural. The black and white also makes the viewer look at more than the person, it also makes you see around the room all the different things that surround her. So it looks more natural.

# data[].attributes.body
I went with less of a full scenery with this and more focusing on movement. This is all digital this time as well. It goes with the same inquiry of showing my stories but this time I showed it through a "reanimating" statue. A bird representing the Greek Titan Kronos.
What I'm struggling with is background and perspective, I tried multiple and it just felt flat or unfinished compared to the main bird and I just couldn't figure it out. For my rough drafts this week I'm going to experiment with a more graffiti art style and less of trying for a more realistic background

This painting is an aura painting. I choose to do a blue aura because it means day dreamer, freethinker, imaginative, deep inner thinker. I used a acrylic paint. I was going to add more "rings" around her but I didn't because in my mind the more rings you have the more spiritual expectances you have experienced or the more you grow spiritually the more rings you get. sorry if it blurry.

# data[].attributes.body
I honestly didn’t like this piece. There’s a lot of blank space because i didn’t have the time or desire to finish it. I wanted to fill the background with trash and tents to represent what the homeless call home. i also wanted the background the be dark to cast a “shadow” representing sadness, and being lost in the dark, alone.

# data[].attributes.body
this project it is entirely digital. i wanted to focus on the concept of fiction being a “window to a different world”. i used soft brush strokes in some areas, pencil/graphite styled liner. i used cloud brushes too and blended in some areas— but i also wanted to keep that sharp-soft edged look to the piece too.

# data[].attributes.body
In my piece I've used acrylic paint, charcoal, and color pencil to depict my idea of being burnt out. In this i used her eyes to show the light in her and how its the only thing left as she's consumed by the numbness around her.

This is a point of view water color painting. This was inspired by the song EMPTY by Chase Atlantic. It is about a boy feeling empty, the hole inside him symbolizes his emptiness. This is important to me because it expresses emotions and some of the emptions I feel. I feel as though there sometimes isn't anything that can help, so there's just an empty feeling there.

# data[].attributes.body
This piece was originally designed to demonstrate the cultural aspects of Native American relationships with their horses. From the beginning of the native culture, horses were used for almost everything. They were used for transportation, hunting, warfare, and even to show social status. Some natives would put circles of paint around the horses eyes or nose to enhance their senses. These senses could be used in battle as well as when they were hunting/herding. The "arrowhead" shape symbolizes victory in a tribe. Many natives would paint an arrowhead on their horse to show that the tribe was strong. The background has no cultural meaning, but it was used as an attempt to create contrast and diversion.

# data[].attributes.body
This art piece represents the feeling I had felt when I woke up from a vivid dream of him laying next to me and him actually not being there. I wanted to be able to show the deprived and lonely feeling I had captivated when I realized he actually wasn't there. That feeling made me cold and sad which is represented through the blue color scheme I have put on myself; while with him, he has a red color scheme because when he was actually there I felt the warmings and safeness he created around both of us.

Honestly, this artwork isn't finished, this demonstrates what black women look like in reality and what society wants them to look like or deems as beautiful. It could also represent the insecurities that some black women have because of societal pressures on them to look a different way. The tear represents the negative impact that beauty standards tend to have on people who don't necessarily fit them and recognizes how harmful they are.

# data[].attributes.body
First projects suck…that’s all folks
Ok fine.
Ill be honest this isn’t my favorite thing I’ve done. Half way through it I realized it was because the texture of the columns don't match the texture of the sky (thx watercolor paper the feeling is mutual). Im currently working on the same piece but as a digital art, so I can match up the textures and see if I like to better.
But as for the actual piece. It’s an architectural ruin i based off of the Greek deities Mnemosyne (Memory), Hyperion (sun, East), and Iapetus (mortality, west).
3 deities that had the hugest role in one of the earliest stories I’ve written
