For my final art project I decided to draw one of my characters under the rain with an umbrella because this particular character enjoys the rain a lot, and lives in a climate where they get a lot of rain.
This is important to me because I love the rain myself, whenever I see it raining outside my window, I feel warm ad cozy. I also love listening to the rain.
I used organic and curved lines in my artwork by making the line art curved, round, and smooth. I used organic shapes in my artwork by using natural and curved shapes in the artwork. I used both primary and secondary colors in my artwork by using greens and blues as base colors in my artwork, especially blue. I used space in my artwork by making the character in the artwork stand out from the background using different colors to help her stand out.
I used value and lighting in my artwork by highlighting underneath her and shading from above her to make it seem like the light source is coming from directly underneath her.
I created my background by using multiple rough and natural brushes and splatters because it’s subtle, but it helps give that rough and rainy/muddy texture that you get during thunderstorms, also just helps the rain look more natural than just sticking a rain stamp over the character. Gives the art more depth overall.
I created my artwork by first getting references of anatomy and posing. Then I added the sketch of the concept/pose I wanted, before I started making the sketch look more like my character. I always start with a pose base before I start thinking of what character I want it to be.
My overall thoughts are this is one of the best pieces I’ve made, I’m proud of it because I think I got the mood/tone of the piece right, and I really like the lighting coming from under the character as well.
Next time I would have added flowers or more scenery because I feel like those extra details would’ve really sold the artwork, and made it all come together. Just a little something extra in the background to really add personality to the piece.

For my final art project I decided to draw a collage of most of the social movements I believe in because I believe they are important and need to be talked about more.

This is important to me because I am very vocal when it comes to political and social movements.
I used variety in my artwork by putting many different types social movements signs and posters to represent the movements. I used emphasis in my artwork by using big and colorful words to really catch the viewers eye. I used color in my artwork by using specific colors for specific flag or movement to really show and make the sign stand out. I used space in my artwork by using filling up the positive space with the different signs and movement and the negative space i left white. I used shape in my artwork by using various types of shapes for the signs/posters for the movements. I created my artwork by first doing sketching out the shapes of the posters and sketching out . Then I added color by using color pencils and markers. My overall thoughts are it is more than just an art project because its a collage of a lot of issues that we have in our society today. Next time I would have added more color or something in the background because it would make it stand out and fill the negative space.

For my final art project, I decided to draw alfredo because I got alfredo on a really fun day This is important to me because this YouTuber was selling it and I bought it My personal connection to this subject matter. I really like Alfredo. I used color in my artwork by coloring in the walls and the hedghedgehog, I used lines in my artwork by drawing the mouth, I used shapes in my artwork by making the eyes, I used space in my artwork by the background. I created my background by using the color purple because in the picture it was purple I created my artwork by first doing the background base colors Then I added thought added shading My overall thoughts I have are, it was alright because thought it would have turned out better Next time I would have added more value because there’s barely any value.

For my final art project I decided to draw a Kitsune but a bit different, I used my cat as reference and just drew as best as I could. My drawing was inspired by my love for the fantasy connected and mythology connected part of my life, I did my best to make it feel like you're looking at a calm being even in the midst of chaos. Furthermore it represents joy and a connection with nature and other cultures. I did my best to make fading and references to older drawings of Kitsune's with the apparent face markings and connection with the plants around it. If I did it again I would have added more fading and more of a connection to the Japanese tales it comes from, furthermore I might have added another tale or something else with it but that's just an afterthought. Overall this image is a mix of mythology and emotions, whatever you feel with this artwork is valid and I encourage you to interpret it however you like.

I used color in my artwork by taking a colored photograph. I used space in my artwork by putting my dog in the foreground. I used emphasis in my artwork by putting a digital crown on my dog. I created my background by picking up my dog in the air and the clouds in the background. My overall thoughts are I like the artwork and whoever did it was the best. Next time I would have not changed anything because it’s already perfect.

In my art piece, “Nihon”, I used mostly black water color paint in order to show proportio n and value in my final product. I mostly based the design off of traditional Japanese Painters, who add additional streaks to the Kanji that they paint, though I admit I went a bit overboard on the “Ni” Kanji and it looks a bit ruined. Regardless, I showed value by including lighter shades of black paint and darker shades basically right next to each other. I showed proportion by painting the kanji accurate to how most painters do it. I showed unity by using 2 letters from another language in order to form the word of the location of which the language originated from, showing how the two are united in birth and concept. I created this art piece in order to express my love for Japan and Japanese culture and media. I’ve been into it for many years, around 5, and I finally decided to show it. The texture and shape of the art piece basically go hand and hand for this to work. Obviously, with shape, it needs to be apart of the art piece in order to CREATE the kanji required to spell the word and the texture mixes with it in order to give the feeling of a rough feel, which is what Kanji is usually drawn like, very rough paintings and they feel the same way too.

This a drawing of my friend Min’s face in pencil with value and proportion. It’s a side profile from a picture of her. It focuses on the form of her face shown in the picture. This was made because love is one of my best motivators and she’s very close to me. I really like how it turned out. I really like drawing like this.

For my final project I decided to draw something from a video game I play in my free time. What I drew was a metal gear from the game Metal Gear solid V which i played when it released and which got me wanting to play all the past metal gear games. What I used to draw the artwork was a pencil, ruler, and eraser. I mostly used line to complete the artwork and had a little trouble with proportion with the arms. What I had the most trouble with was obtaining a good image to use as a source for the artwork as I was using the game for the source Material.

In my project on the left-hand side, you can see how the background is colorful but the outer farm is dark and grey but of the opposite (right-hand) side it dark grey but colorful on the outer edges. On my hands, I used contrasting colors to help improve movement the slowing of movement, for example, small lines of blues and yellow color

For my final art project I decided to draw my bunny, Moose because she makes me happy and is very important to me. This is important to me because she’s all mine and i get to do all the care taking now that i’m 18. My personal connection to this subject matter is that she’s my bunny. I used both organic and geometric shapes in my artwork by using smaller shapes to create the coloration and add some detail. I used proportion in my artwork by making my bunny accurately shaped to how she is in life. I used value in my artwork by both using a darker shade of grey to add shadows. I created my background by not doing anything to it because I honestly couldn’t decide what to put. I created my artwork by first doing a rough outline of how I wanted Moose to look. Then I added small shapes on another layer to color it in. My overall thoughts are that I’m happy with this piece because I really feel like I was able to capture Moose’s relaxed lil personality. Next time I would have added more detail because other than the color, her body feels empty.

The reason i choose to do this art project was because I grew up in a house hold where they would remind you that your not going to be nothing and your not going to reach your goals, So i choose this art project because i believe that if i try hard enough that i can make my dreams happen so when i give up or lose hope i can always look up at the poster board and tell myself dont give up, your almost there. In the process of making this artwork piece i was going through a lot of stuff. The material i used was a poster board, I painted the poster board and then i let it sit and dry and then after it dryed i started applying the glue on the pictures and started putting them on. In my art work i have color, space. My over all thoughts about this project is i liked it a lot and i could open up with out opening my mouth and i could express myself in art.

For my final art project, I decided to draw a panda because it reminds me of the beginning of the quarantine which changed everyone’s life drastically it’s not something extremely important to me, but I see it as a reminder of when everything began. I had limited materials to use for my artwork, so I took advantage of the element of art “value” I could make with pencil and eraser I showed value throughout the whole artwork especially in the small details. I used emphasis in my artwork by creating the main picture and a background picture your eyes emphasize the main drawing, I used shape in my artwork by drawing the panda’s body and by drawing the bamboo these were mostly geometric shapes, but I added value to them.

My artwork is a violin with a black background. The violin itself is shaded to highlight the parts that would be darker. My artwork has Value, shape, lines, and a bit of form. I created my artwork by shading and drawing in lines before I shade in and highlighted. My big idea was that I wanted to captivate something that represented me or that has been a part of my life for a very long time. Something that stands out and that represents or has ties with my childhood and that still stands out in my life today. The violin has been in my life since I started playing it in 1st grade when I lived in Peru. Music has been a very big coping mechanism from things that I was going through and till now it helps me destress and maybe even help my mental health. It’s where I can take all my emotions and put them into one. My overall thoughts about this artwork are that I actually like it a lot. I don’t think that there is anything that I would change about it. Maybe improve on techniques like shading or shapes but besides that, I really like my artwork.

For my final project I decided to submit this photo I took of a close friend at Wright Park. When taking this picture I decided to experiment a bit with my camera and use settings different from the ones I usually gravitate towards. I love the way the white flowers and her bright red sweater contrast against the dark green grass. The grass gives the photo a nice texture and the red and green complement each other very well. I feel that this picture is a perfect example of my style of photography as I often take photos of close friends and family, always trying my best to show the viewer how I see my subjects on a day-to-day basis using candid shots and minimal editing.

For my final art project I decided to draw the octane because I like to play rocket league.

This is important to me because I use the octane in rocket league.

My personal connection to this subject matter the octane is my favorite car. Because it was my first car.

I used texture in my artwork by making the car look metallic

I used line in my artwork by making the car using lines

I used space in my artwork by drawing a car in the positive space by putting it in the front of the artwork.

I used negative space in my artwork by leaving the background blank

I used shape in my artwork by creating lines for the car and connecting them forming organic and inorganic shapes.

I created my background by making the area behind the car appear blank because it is behind the car.

I created my artwork by first doing the lines. Then I added other lines and connected them to form different shapes.

My overall thoughts are that I created a cool artwork because I like rocket league and this is my favorite car.

Next time I would have added color into the car because it would of looked nicer.

This artwork is  important to me because Ronald Reagan is my favorite President.
I feel connected to this artwork because I think that Ronald Reagan is the best president and he helped to change America.
I used texture in my artwork by drawing the lines.I used a pencil, piece of paper, and Sharpie in my artwork by depth.
I didn’t use color (choose a vocab term) in my artwork because he looks better in black and white (how you used this art vocab word).
I created my background by not having a background because I thought it would be a lot better without having a background and I wanted Ronald Reagan to be the most important.
My overall thoughts are I'm happy with what I did because I drew a very nice picture. Next time, I would have added some color for his suit because it would make it look a little more appealing because a true black and white picture looks better when there is a lot more detail.

I named my artwork “Peacefulness” because my piece is displaying peace and quiet due to the beach creating cool fresh air and the sound of the waves crashing together. My artwork uses multiple different elements and principles, such as texture, color, unity, variety, and shapes. When creating my art piece I based it off of a beautiful, tropical, and scenic beach photo. I recreated it by mainly using the polyline tool in google drawings, using this tool I was able to create shapes, both geometric and organic, within my artwork. I then created gradient colors, primary and warm, to best match the colors demonstrated in the photo. I finally dragged a copy of the photograph over my artwork and made it have more transparency to create the look of texture within my art. Using these different techniques, elements, and principles in my art also gave it variety and unity to make it more unique, have harmony, and look complete.

I chose to recreate this image because the beach has always been my happy place, ever since I was a little girl. However, over the years and growing my maturity level the beach has changed meaning for me. When I was a little girl the beach meant fun and playful experiences with my family, but now it is an escape. The calmness of the smell and crashing waves give me peace and happiness within myself, it also is a place where I can be free and myself with my closest friends. Overall I love my artwork considering the emotional window it has into me and for it being my first time using google drawings. The only thing I would change is to make my shapes more realistic towards the picture. This is my first artwork of 2021, Peacefulness.

For my final project, I decided to draw something that always gives me peace of mind when I think of it. I wanted to give off a sunset type of vibe but also a night moon type of vibe. I was inspired by the starry night painting by Van Gogh. It took a lot of work! I used paint to do this painting. I had to blend a lot to get the right tone, shade, and tint that I wanted for each specific part of the painting. I had to use a ruler too to give the painting that ocean meets the sky look. My big idea behind my artwork was PEACE OF MIND! This world is so full of chaos especially now, so I wanted people to look at my artwork and think to themselves, “breathe, everything is going to be okay.”. I am proud of myself for doing this because it took a lot of patience and effort. I wished that I could’ve done it on a bigger canvas and added a little more detail but other than that, I love it!

I chose this artwork because I really like video games. I used shape in my controller. I used form on my ps4 console. I used value all over my drawing. I kinda like my artwork I wish that I could’ve done a better job. I showed proportion by making it look like real life. I also used emphasis in the controller. next time what could do better is put color and shade it in some more.

In this piece, I used a variety of colors to arrange a piece I feel represents how I view and process things. I started by getting a canvas, thread, and mod podge. I then used a thin paintbrush to lay down and stick the thread to canvas. I did for texture, movement, and form. Once I had finished doing that, I then used another paintbrush to add acrylic paints that were in the same color group around the thread it matched. This gave it a sense of unity. The lines of thread flowed throughout the painting so nicely. In the middle ground of the painting, I actually ended up removing a majority of the thread to leave blank white lines. Representing how sometimes my mind blanks when I’m trying to think about things. The colors going along with each other show how in my brain, I use things that are alike to figure out the point. I really like this art piece, it’s my personal favorite that I’ve created. I wish I had a bigger canvas so it could be wayyy bigger.

For my final art project, I decided to draw a picture of my dad and my baby sister because it was my favorite family vacation. This is important to me because it was the last vacation that my grandpa was able to go on before his cancer gets worse. My personal connection to this subject matter is my family. Because this was the first time my whole side of my dads family went on vacation together and acting had a really good time with each other and no fighting no phone really, we had quality family time well us kids at least went on morning runs together and night swims at the pool and then late-night walks on the beach. I used a secondary color green by making all of the negative space in a gradient green color. I used balance in my artwork by I balanced out all the trees in the background on top of the green in the negative space to give it a jungle look. I used organic shapes in my artwork by creating all the different plants, rocks, and people. I used Movement in my artwork by the way the trees were placed on top of each other the way the branches were placed. I created my background by using the secondary color green and the polyline to create the trees because it was the easiest way. I created my artwork by first doing the whole background and all the details in the background, Then I added the people on top of everything so the positive space. My overall thoughts are I like it but I don’t because I still really don’t know how to use google drawlings still so it doens’t look as good I know it could. Next time, I would have made it look a lot more cleaner because it looks kind of sloppy, but it still looks good, but I know it could look better.

I would describe my art work as being calm, because when you look at it and then look at the original picture to me it’s so calming and satisfying . And then the Cherry Blossom’s are my favorite part of this art piece, the two pink colors go so good together and just bring the whole art piece together. I created my art work with using, S hape, Color, Texture, Line and Unity. I used these art samples because I wanted to make sure that my art work was in sink throughout the whole piece, thus for me to be able to get that realistic look I wanted to show I used a ripple texture to add dimension in the water. My personal connection with this piece is for me to show my future goal, where I wanna be able to travel to japan with my family so that I and my parents & siblings can experience some new things and a new culture. There’s a lot of things that I wanna be able to show my family someday. However, My thoughts on my art work is very positive, I truly do love how it came out, and with there being some struggles I ended up liking it, so I’m grateful; but I truly hope to draw this beautiful picture. One thing that I would change about it is to add the realistic that i want to be added in the beginning, other then that I truly love it.

This piece is me experimenting with a new style I’ve been enjoying working with. First I paint the piece in greyscale and then I’m able to map colors to the different values. Being able to paint in greyscale makes it easier to get the value right first. Using gradient maps also gives you the benefit of being able to test multiple different color schemes, there’s another version of this piece that is a more analogous scheme with a sandy color and greens as opposed to the complementary colors I showed here. The style just feels nice, I enjoy using sketchy lines and not having to worry about the value and hues at the same time. It can really streamline everything.

To be honest i do not like to draw, But when its for an assignment i will do it. I come from a family of artists. For example my dad was an artist. So sometimes i draw because he inspired me in a way, so i try to put a effort into it even though its not something i enjoy. This drawing was creating on google drawings, by creating shapes to mimic the shape of a real red range rover. I decided to draw a range rover because it’s one of my life goals to purchase one, And when I was little I was driven in the backseat of a range rover and I just loved the car overall. I first created my artwork by drawing the base of the car, and just getting the outside shape so it would be easier to draw the other features, then gradually added the other features such as doors, windows, taillights. I used lines in my artwork by making the doors, the exterior of the car, and the windows. I used space for the blue and grey background. I used shape for the base part of the car (top, sides, bottom) which were also geometrical. I used color for the car which was red known as a primary color. I used emphasis by tracing the outside of the car from the original picture to my background to make it known that it is a range rover and not just any other car. I used Rhythm in my artwork by using the same pattern of lines and making the shapes look organic/original. I could have improved by adding the white background, but the polyline was not letting me work around the base of the car, which was one limitation in my artwork. This was one of my favorites to draw because i felt like i actually did a great job on this compared to many of my other drawings. This Artwork also inspired me to own a range rover one day.

So I have been drawing some really cool stuff. It is kinda fun drawing when you want to draw. I have a big graph paper notebook filled with drawing. When I want to draw it’s fun but when I don’t want to draw it’s not as fun to me. I haven’t been drawing as much as I used to. I used a variety of different sizes of pens, and I used movement in my drawing by the way I moved the pen around on the paper, I also used pattern, because the drawing have a lot of the same sized lines, I also used rhythm by the way I moved the pens around the paper, I also used proportion by making a lot of lines the same height, I used repetition by using a lot of lines in my drawings.

For my final art project I decided to draw a tree with the quote “BE LIKE A TREE. Stay grounded. Connect with your roots. Turn over a new leaf. Bend before you break. Enjoy your unique natural body. Keep growing.” because I wanted to try drawing something a little bit different and the quote just went with the drawing. This is important to me because the quote makes me think if I “BE LIKE A TREE”, I can be more happy and succeed better with a better mindset. I used Line (Elements of Art) in my artwork by outlining the tree and adding sticks to it. I used Shape (Elements of Art) in my artwork by drawing little circles and random shapes inside the tree and outlining it with a brown marker. I used Pattern (Principles of Art) in my artwork by drawing sticks on each branch, each branch has the same number of sticks on them. I created my artwork by first drawing the bottom of the tree all the way to the top. Then I wrote the quote next to the tree and started outlining with color. My overall thoughts are that this artwork could inspire other women to start thinking more positive when it comes to themselves because it can make them more happier. Next time I would have added leafs or flowers because I didn’t really put a lot of color into my art.

This Piece was just something off of the top of my head. this piece is a half and half pink and light purple background with six different-sized butterflies scattered around the piece. the elements of art I used in this piece were line in the center where the piece is split color of each butterfly and space for the color around the butterflies. the principles of art I used were variety repetition and proportion. I did this piece off the top of my head because I needed to get something done.

“All-Seeing” is a painting meant to represent the mind and our point of view. I created this piece by layering different shades of green in the background and adding pieces of brown in between the sections where the different shades of the green meet. I really enjoy using earthy tones because I feel as if people see them as boring, but if used correctly, it can create serenity in a person the longer they look at it. This piece is meant to represent the different ways of seeing life. Many people only look at situations from their own point of view, and while it’s okay to put yourself first in situations, you can benefit from changing your way of thinking or looking at something. If you flip this painting upside down, it still showcases 4 eyes on a sea of green and brown. No matter which way you look at it, it can be seen the same way as another. We as humans, especially teenagers who grow up in an age of technology, don’t really communicate well with each other which can create a lot of blockage in trying to find a middle ground. I’m proud of this painting because it shows that no matter if you look at the painting upright, or another person looks at it upside down, if you squint hard enough, we can find similarities in the different points of view. Instead of focusing on the differences we have with each other, we should focus on what we have in common, and that way, we can grow stronger together.

New Face with Same Emotions 2021, Malaika Reyes-Gillespie

# data[].attributes.body
For one of my art projects, I decided to illustrate a self-portrait. In this self-portrait, I created a huge variety amount of colors and patterns to show different waves of emotions someone like myself can go through. For example, yellow and other light colors are usually depicted as happy and darker colors like blue and purple can be seen as sadness. You may notice a huge black background behind my face, this is to show the wave of emptiness and the feeling of being lost. Within the face, on the right side, I created how I look with makeup on; the left is without. On the left, there’s a “drip” of orange going down my face to symbolize that I do not feel beautiful without makeup on, but especially because someone like myself does not meet the social beauty standard. The eyes are specifically spiraled and red to show that I have an ongoing, non-stop feeling of days. Every day feels the same on repeat.

In my piece It shows three baby kittens and a mother lurking in the shadows of the grass, with a set of glowing music notes above the grass as if a soft lullaby was being played by the wind rushing between the blades of grass. There is a lot of stars forming around a galaxy, and just above is the words “They are watching me…” which I quite enjoy!

I created this artwork by first getting into procreate and setting the background to all black, I first got the idea to make a landscape by thinking of fireworks but later trashed that idea and set on to a galaxy theme. The galaxy was simple to make I essentially just threw different values of purple, blue, small traces of pink, and turquoise then blended until happy with it. The grass is just me filling in the bottom and then erasing to create the blades of grass at a angle for a look of movement, I duplicated these layers and would adjust the opacity on the top one. I created a layer between the two grass layers and made the kittens and momma cat. I used a oval shape to make their head and triangles for the ears, just readjusting til they looked right to me. I made their eyes have a quick yellow glow because that color seems quite popular for a creepy color of eyes in the darkness so I figured “why not.” I didn’t want a huge variety of colors, so I stuck to a purple and blue theme. I found this repetition to look quite nice, and continued with it through out the piece. I used a glowing look in places I wanted to catch the eye, so the eyes of the cat, the music notes, and the text were all meant to be emphasized.

I chose this piece of art because I felt drawn to it. The grass is meant to represent the walls of a shelter or safe space. The cats represent harm. The music represents a feeling of false hope and safety hushing your questions and feeling of discomfort. The stars and galaxy representing the outside world, meaning the world is bigger than just us, and doesn’t particularly care what will happen to us because we are just another body on this earth that is likely to live a mediocre life. There is a lot of representation in this piece so let me explain it as a whole. This piece is meant to be from a first person perspective, so I will be talking that way in order to explain it. In my safe space, I don’t always feel so safe. This isn’t because I’m in harms way, no its because the chance of me being in harms way. This overwhelming flood of what ifs that fill my brain, the chance those what ifs will no longer be what ifs but they will be reality. Something inescapable. Something where no matter how loud I scream and shout, no matter how much I cry and kick I will be trapped. With nothing but the sounds of other peoples voices hushing my own. Telling me, “You are just fine” You are overreacting.” “Its no big deal.” It is though, it is a big deal. In the end, their will be nothing to mourn your loss as much as one truly deserves because the universe will make another you once again. The text is there to show that people are watching, waiting, hoping, just praying that you fall and make room for someone new who will be better. This piece represents my fear, that we truly are replaceable, and that is why everyone hushes your fears.

I really enjoy this piece of art, I dislike very little of it maybe just the fact it represents so much. If I were to try and redo this piece, I would add a street light with a hanging lantern to represent a chance, hope, to represent that we might live up to be something more than just your average person in a crowd that you hardly notice passing by. I like the colors, the cats, the grass, the stars, and the text especially the text. They all show so much representation that you wouldn’t know unless you took time to look at the piece and examine what the artist might be saying.

In my art project, I chose to submit a picture of my little sister. I chose to do this because my little sister is very important to me. In the photo you can see, geometric shapes(circles) on her dress, along with lines on the couch behind her and color on her toy. This artwork has form because it is real life (3D). Kaylas dress is also monochromatic.

I named this piece Karuma because, that is the name I’ve given this character. Color isn’t really my strong point so, I stuck with my old pencil and shading once again. My backgrounds are usually an empty space but, this time I shaded in what looks to be a moon beyond the horizon. Lines and shapes are found within this art piece, some lines helping me keep my artwork looking proportionate to the human body. I made this manga-like artwork to my liking and to satisfy my boredom. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For my final art project I decided to draw Mt. Rainier because I’ve been on it/near it a lot. This is important to me because I just feel like it’s been there my entire life, and I’ve always seen it. I used space in my artwork by having a foreground (mountain) and a background (sky). I used value in my artwork by having different shades of blue in the sky. I created my artwork by first making shapes of the overall mountain. Then I added the variety of colors and shapes seen on the mountain, from the snowcapped top to the forests on the bottom. Next time I would have added some more detail in the sky because it’s lacking attention to detail and is a little scuffed currently.

This is a picture i took of the beach. It contains line and some geometric shapes. i also added some shading to background. My artwork contains shape and color, The big idea behind my artwork was to capture a picture of the beach.

# data[].attributes.body
This artwork is supposed to represent the beauty of moons and the way I see them. I used lines to sketch the shape of the moon. I used shading to create a glowing effect. I used warm and cool colors for the moon/shadow.

I will be sharing the beginnings of a series of art pieces that have been introduced into this reality so far.
Artist Statement:
"What creates your identity and how you can express that through art?" Well, this art piece that I’ve created is just a small look of the ideas and everything else that go on & through my head. Throughout this particular piece of art I’ve used a multitude of the elements and principles of art. Such as, patterns which show up on both the right sides face and the opposing sides background. The contrasting backgrounds create an emphasis on the head and face, on the left side background there is a variety of patterns. Said patterns create movement that helps draw the emphasis on the left side of the face. Both organic and geometric shapes are used throughout the piece, mostly organic ones which flows through almost all the piece and geometric ones in the checkerboard pattern. I used line to create value on the monotone part, line was also used through zentangles and hatching, cross-hatching, and circle like scribble, etc. Texture is used most notably on the colored parts of this piece in the hair and opposing sides background. Both warm tone and cool tone colors are used in this piece, along with monochromatic gray. Primary, secondary, tertiary, tints, etc, are also used in this piece (EX: light pink tinted cheek and nose). “What is the big idea behind your artwork?” If you refer back to the title of my piece you should hopefully infer the factor that this particular piece is just a small glimpse of what I create when a put a pencil to paper and let my hand move & mind flow, and the unique ideas that my imagination creates. What are your overall thoughts of your artwork? (Likes, dislikes). I am pleased with the piece, there are some errors but that is expected as I don’t usually complete pieces of this size or of any other. Or admittedly don’t practice my craft nearly enough or plan well anything concerning my art. I quite enjoy the outcome of this piece and the amount of color and contrast. And lastly, I think the title explains plenty about who I am.

The Art:

For my final art project I decided to draw my dad because he s so important in my life. I used line in my artwork because it really brings out the picture of my dad. I used color in my artwork because it brings out my dad’s clothes and it brings out the negative space. I used Texture in my artwork because It brings out shade in his hair. I used Value in my artwork because it brings out the tint in his skin tone. The big idea behind my artwork is just seeing my dad’s face in a picture I created and I will save this memory forever. My overall thoughts on this art project I did is this is great what I did for my dad in this drawing.

This artwork is a visual representation of this school year for me which was online. When doing this piece I wanted to only use hues of the color purple for the girl and hues of yellow for the screens. How I used space in the piece is the girl in the positive space or the front and the notifications and screens in the negative space or the background. I used value to give the girl depth and to show how the lighting of the screes hit her. I am pretty proud of this piece because i think it perfectly shows how we’ve all been online and it’s the only thing we will pay attention to. But there is also a time when you have to log off and go outside and enjoy life.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like this image that I did because it included color, line, value, and shading. I drew this picture because it reminded me of when I used to live back in Fiji. This definitely reminds me of my childhood, my friends having parties on Fridays and Saturdays and we would stay there until the sun starts to set because it was just beautiful.

For my final art project I decided to draw my dog Nicki because she is a very important animal in my life.
This is important to me because Nicki has been with me through some tough times.
My personal connection to this subject matter shes my comfort animal. Because she comforts me in crazy situations.
I used shapes in my artwork by building my dog outta shapes.I used value in my artwork by adding different shades of green for the grass. I used i used color in my artwork by adding color. I used detail in my artwork by _adding different sizes of shapes and shades of ‘grass’I used volume. in my artwork by different shapes.

this art piece represents my prospective of peace of mind. the feeling of inner peace, no more worries no more stress. just a nice warm feeling of being free from everything, free from mistakes and regret. I created this art piece by using special shading pencils and charcoal, using these materials helped me to create positive and negative space. overall i really enjoyed making this art piece,

I decided to draw a batman theme because I just like the batman style.This is important to me because I like to do art. I feel connected to this artwork because   it is my artwork and I feel connected and I did it myself.I used a line in my artwork by putting the picture next to the computer screen so I could see the picture and make the lines and colored it in.I used shape in my artwork by  making sure it wasn’t too big and fit the page.I used color  in my artwork by using green, yellow, and pink, and light blue. I outlined the batman in yellow and colored in the bat green because I wanted it to look nice.I created my background by leaving it blank because it would add more to the picture and make sure you could only see the batman. If I would have added a whole bunch of colors I wouldn’t have been able to see it..My overall thoughts are I could have done better with the background because I left it blank and I see other people online that didn’t leave theirs background and it looks good. .Next time I would have added a little bit more color to it because my art piece looked a little blank.

Beauty of travel, 2021

Google Drawings.
For my final art product i decided to draw me traveling to Texas it was important to me. This is important to me because it was a time i got to see my friend after he moved away. I used space by adding clouds in the backround. I used color in my artwork by adding color to the plane and the sky. I used value in my artwork by adding shade to the clouds in my backround. i used Line i n my artwork by adding geometric lines to the wing of the plane and i used repetition by putting the same color some of the time. I like my art because it took time and it looks very similar in view to the picture.

For my final art project, I decided to draw My dog because I love having my dog he is important to me because we got him and named him after my grandpa passed My personal connection to this subject matter a brother Because he´s always there for us I used Color in my artwork by using different colors for my drawing I used Shapes in my artwork by using different shapes for his face (how you used this art vocab word)I used line in my artwork by tracing and using different shapes I used value in my artwork by changing the transparency on his fur I used Repetition in my artwork by repeatedly using polyline I created my background by tracing and then my carpet as the background because it would´ve looked weird without one.

In my painting of Bailey and I, i used many different forms of art. I used soft lines around her face and curvier lines in my hair. I used organic shapes to show more realistic features. I used many many different colors to make sure it matched the photograph to the best of my ability. I made the trees in the background blurry to show negative space, while focusing in on Bailey and I to show positive space. I’m honestly very proud of this piece. I have never been an artist in this form. I am a creative writer and musician so this class has been the most stress inducing for me because i thought i couldn’t succeed. But i produced a piece i’m actually proud of. I dedicated four hours and lots of erasing haha. I hope you like it too.

Rintaro Suna, 2021
Paper, pen, pencil
For my Final product I decided to make a drawing of a character from the anime Haikyu!! because Haikyu!! was like one of the first anime’s that I watched. I started watching anime in like maybe July or August or 2020 so recently. I honestly do not have a personal connection to this artwork. I just decided to draw him because he is my favorite character from the anime Haikyu!! and I said why not draw him for my final product. I used lines in my artwork by making the grid to guide me. I also used lines everywhere in my artwork from the hair, face, neck, and a little of the shirt. I used (organic)shapes in my artwork by making the eyes, eyebrows, highlights in hair, and the shaded line pattern part. I used value in my artwork by using a back marker to shade in the streaks of hair, eyebrows, and under the neck area . I used space in my artwork by just drawing the character and leaving the background in a grid making Suna the main thing. I used pattern in my artwork by making a pattern of lines going diagonally in the neck, hair, face, and ear area. For my overall thoughts about the artwork that I made is that I really like it, it turned out better than I expected it to turn. I think it turned out good because I used a grid to guide me though the process for the first time.I think what I could have done so it could look better is I could have made the lines on the right side of the hair more neater because it looks messy. Overall it turned out pretty good and I’m proud of myself.

For my Artwork, I chose the to recreate a bowl of fruit because I wanted to choose something very subtle but Unique. For the Bowl of Fruit, I used google drawing to trace a picture I got from google. I used only primary colors, o rganic shapes, Proportion, and Variety for the fruit. My overall thoughts on my artwork is good. I think I did great with the bowl of fruit for my google drawing.

In this piece of artwork, I used different colors because I drew different plants and bugs surrounding them. I left the negative space light so the colors in the positive space would come out more. I used lighting on the left side of the artwork to imitate sunlight. The right side of the artwork has a light shade to it because the light is only captured on the left side like the sun is just starting to come out. I used different shades of blues and purples to add texture to the lavenders. As well as making the orange flower spotty to add texture. This artwork has a personal connection to me because I enjoy nature and noticing the little details of it. I like this artwork because it shows nature.

# data[].attributes.body
This is important to me because i love to travel .
I used line in my artwork by using the poly line tool to outline the shapes.I used shape in my artwork by making shapes out of the roller coaster I used value in my artwork by shading the background i used color in my artwork by coloring the person to make it look like me.I used space in my artwork by making things close and showing things in the background i created by background by tracing the shape because it would make it look like the picture.I created my artwork by first doing the tracing. Then I added the color.
My overall thoughts are i like how i did it because it actually looks like the picture.
Next time I would have added more details because it will make it look even better.

For my final art project I decided to draw baby Groot because he is part of my favorite movie. This is important to me because I watched this movie on a tough night and it made me feel a lot better. I used line in my artwork by adding it to the face for detail. I used shape in my artwork by adding circles to the eyes and a crest to the mouth. I used value in my artwork by adding it to the eyes. I used emphasis in my artwork by making Groot's body look like its in a swaying position and a tape on his pot as if he’s dancing. I used proportion in my artwork by adding a small leaf on his head and making some lines (tree cracks) smaller than others. I created my artwork by first doing the head. My overall thoughts are pleasant because I like the art and I'm pleased with it. Next time I would have added a shadow or a background because those are things that were missing that could’ve improved the art.

This painting came to mind when I was sitting in my backyard with my sisters, we were all painting outside and we were on the grass so this idea came to mind. I started with using a mixture of green tones to create a grass-like color/effect. This painting has lines, color, and positive and negative space as seen in the sky and grass area. There is a fence on the bottom part of the painting to show how it’s a field-farm kind of look. Overall I liked this painting and it was fun to make.

I chose to do photography for my final product because Photography can tell a different story Rather than paint a picture a photo can tell a bigger story. I decided to take a picture of the ocean because the ocean it's like a place where you can just stare out and feel like you can put the world on pause. For my final art piece, I used the camera to capture the movement of the waves and how the color of the ocean is a primary color, When I also captured was the Positive space is of the people. I used the sky as a negative space and how the clouds look like they are Blending in with the darker blue in the sky. My over-thought of this artwork is that I find the ocean is a place to breathe and enjoy.

# data[].attributes.body
I decided to paint my picture of a Sunset because it shows how much I love to see sunsets. This is important to me because it shows seeing a sunset is kind of like a breath of cool air and preparing you for the new day. My personal connection to this subject matter is moving on because sometimes you just have to move on from things. I used Color in my artwork to express how the sunset looks. ​I used line in my artwork by lining up the sky and the land. I used space in my artwork by showing the sky in the negative and the trees & birds in the positive space. ​I use in my artwork symmetrical balance by choosing a picture that would stay the same on both sides. I created my background by starting with the sky because it was the key to level out everything. I created my artwork by first doing the sun. Then I added the sunset with the colors. My overall thoughts are it was kind of easy even though it was hard to not try to be perfect. Next time I would have added more of a blend of the colors because I just think they needed to be blended more.

Sherbert is a mandala of what i feel when i have some sherbert ice cream, especially what it sometimes looks like color wise. I used symmetry options in the app i was using and i wanted a emphasis of color and pattern so i used tertiary,secondary,primary and monochromatic shades to make a foundation for when i add a filter to add depth and movement to the mandala. The main idea for it was just doodling to make a new drawing to submit, also to practice digital art, but the thought of icecream popped in my head so i decided colorful and fun little design would be pleasing for the dim times of our environment.

When i added the filter, it made space in the background with the blue and movement in the added colors yellow,lime green and faded purple. the dark dot in the middle of the piece is there because i want you to see everything at once for some reason.

I truly like this mandala, its my second time drawing one, and i think i did a lot better than my first one. (i was hungry as you can tell)

This is a photo of the city, Seattle. The day that me and my family went to Seattle it was a nice sunny day. This is kind of unusual for Seattle because it’s usually rainy and gray, when the sun is out and the weather is nice you can easily see that people are overall in a better mood. In this photo you can see lots of detail and different things you can look at. It’s interesting to move your eyes around this image and find new things each time. I really enjoy larger cities for this reason, you can always find new interesting stuff that can be fun for all types of people. This art was fairly easy to create, I went to Seattle and took a picture of an area of buildings that I liked.

I call this the Bardi artwork because that is a picture or cardi b and her fans are know as Bardi. I made this to show that I like cardi b and that she’s my favorite female artist. This artwork is based on the song finesse. I used a pen for her eyes and eyebrows to make them dark but my goal was to make them a little lighter than her hair. I used a pencil to make a shade on one side of her nose. And I used an orangish color pencil to make cardi b skin color.

I used lines to help create the shape of the cross and the fist. I decided to draw the cross because recently I was baptized and I am really passionate about my faith. Inside the cross, I used repetition to repeat my favorite scripture that truly represents who I am, I also used the scripture to bring emphasis to the artwork to grab everyone’s attention. I decided to draw the fist because I have really strong feelings for the black lives matter movement and personally it represents me as a black young woman in America. For the texture of the hand, I wanted to seem kinda rough but also kinda smooth. I wanted to space the drawing in the middle because I feel it gives the audience no choice but to look directly at causing them to really think about the artwork.

The way i thought of this is just from what i do alot from my games. This character and the way i drew him with lines, variety and movement around his goggle. Ive played this game for years and i thought it would be good to draw someone from it to represent what i like. The texture o n his mask and Proportion it just really focus on his face. I like this drawing i love my games and overall i very much like it. I would have drew other characters as well to repersent diffrent things but his is one of my most favorite characters from the game.

For my final project, I decided to draw a small little person thinking about random colors because I think it looks cool. This is important to me because it kind of represents how my thoughts can be like sometimes. My personal connection to this subject matter is that I can relate to the little person because the little person is thinking about all sorts of things and I tend to do that a lot. I used repetition by selecting a random color and dotting it all over my painting. I used proportion in my painting by making the person look way smaller than their thoughts to show how much they’re thinking. I created my background by painting the background with a smokey color. I really like this paintings because it makes more sense than my other drawings. Next time I would have added more details to the little person.

I chose this art work because i really like that picture of Mt Rainier that I took and I think the photography aspect is really cool but I think its even cooler when you can turn it into a digital artwork. I chose to make it into a digital piece because this is by far one of my favorite pictures I have taken. With a piece of art like this I want people so see it as whatever they can imagine. You don't even have to see the original picture. I would like people to take it and see it as whatever they want to see it as. I have always loved nature and taking pictures of nature because you can capture so much in one picture and then you have a visual representation of a memory and you will not forget it. Overall I really enjoy this artwork for its simplicity and the colors.

One thing about watercolor that I’ve learned is that the vibrancy of colors and value all depends on the amount of water you’re using with the watercolor. One of the things I prefer to do when painting something is using very soft, opaque coloring. And the way that I create tint, tone, and shadows is by using less water so the colors come out more. Even though I don’t do it often I think it’s an important thing to mention. When it comes to flowers, all the lines I use to create shapes turn out to be organic shapes. I think flowers are interesting to use as references because it’s up to the artist how they want to capture that subject. And I chose to go the more cartoonish route.

My artwork final is a heart and brain combined. Through my artwork, you are able to see the objects through their shape and form. I choose to use the two to help display the image that I think makes decisions that make me, me through logic and emotions. I used line and value to give emphasis on both sides. Value help emphasis because it gives more detail to the picture gives definition. Without the light and dark contrast throughout the artwork, I feel it wouldn’t give it the same effect or even make it identifiable. The personal connection that I have to the artwork is I feel the decisions and feelings I have towards myself or things, in general, make me me. My heart is what keeps me going and helps me feel things the way I do but my brain keeps me in check. My overall feeling on my work is further I got into finishing the deeper I was able to get more meaning. I like the peace but i feel I could always add to it to make it better.

The drawing I made is of my Rottweiler, the lines I used for this drawing are cross hatching, hatching, scribbles and a bubble circle like pattern. The cross hatching pattern was used for his tongue with a pink tone, along with his light brown eyes and brown gold sides of his face. I left the negative space blank so that the viewers know what to emphasize on which is his face. Value was added by using different varieties of tones of black, I also brightened his eyes by adding some white to stand out. His face is also asymmetrical because both sides of his face are not identical but contains the same features but a different angle. I created this drawing because I love animals, especially my Rottweiler because he is important to me and is part of the family. Overall I think the portrait of him went well, although it was time consuming I do like the final product.

This art work is from a manga/anime that i enjoyed when i was in about 6th grade and this is the main character. Since i tried to make it like the manga there is no color i used shading to show that the light was coming from the top left. While using organic shapes to make up the face as well a using proportions for the eyes, face and shoulders to make it seem realistic. I used geometric shapes for the pupils to make them circles. Also using thick and thin lines to show the layering in the hair to attempt and add more depth. This work just makes me remember the depth of the manga.

i decided to do a drawing of a face with no head to show the feelings of you can show you're happy but underneath it all you could be absolutely hurting on the inside. Its important because we need to remember to try and be kind to one another because you don't know how they really could be feeling under all the smiles and jokes. My connection to it on my own is, I'm sad though i wake up and try to choose happiness it still doesn't change the fact that deep down im hurting, bottled up emotions i don't talk about. I don't use much color my artwork, Delineation or sketch is what you could call my work. I used line, shape, form, and tone.

The purpose of this piece is to try to explain what my anxiety feels like. I have a really hard time talking to others, making friends, ordering food, even simple things like walking past a group of people. When I do I feel like I am doing something wrong somehow and I just sound stupid. I also get anxiety when I feel like I’m failing in some way. When I go through one of these episodes I feel small, which is why I chose to be balled up in the artwork. I chose to have so many eyes looking in my direction because I feel like I am the center of attention, and not in the good way. I wanted myself to be more animated and the eyes to be realistic to symbolize the intimidation I feel in these situations. The shadow however represents more than a simple feeling, it is an actual demon I deal with everyday. While going through these episodes I physically can’t communicate my emotions/feelings to anyone, it’s like the shadow is saying its not my turn to talk. I feel as though my brain disconnects and I’m trapped. This shadow tells me that I’m stupid, worthless, and alone; and even if I could voice my feelings no one would care or help. Overall I am very proud of my art work, I have never told anyone what my anxiety felt like to me and it was fun drawing it. I am proud of how I illustrated the shadow figure behind me but I want to practice more on drawing clothing.

This art piece reminds me of my culture (Samoa) because we love flowers.

This is important to me because my culture needs to be recognized for its great qualities.
My personal connection to this subject matter I am Polynesian. My dad is Samoan.

I used lines in my artwork by outlining the flowers.

I used shape in my artwork by making the flowers.

I used color in my artwork by filling in the flowers with beautiful bright colors.

I used proportion in my artwork by adding a variety of flowers to the flower bomb.

I used space in my artwork by leaving the background insight.

I created my background by making it green because any other color would have made it ugly.

This artwork is a recreation of my childhood home made out of clay. This house has been in my family for as long as I can remember. It is a symbol of comfort and familiarity that I go home to visit every summer and Christmas break to reconnect with my mom, sister, and brother. Over the years, this house has remained the same while my family has grown. It is a place that I look forward to visiting and wanted to create an artwork of a house to take with me to remind me of where I came from. I started with creating geometric shapes to create the house walls, windows, and doors. I then mimicked the look of panels lining the house walls by carving straight lines into each side. The sculpture can be turned to look at in multiple positions because of its 3-dimensional form. I then chose colored glazes to match the primary red door, the white outside walls, and the black roof. Finally, I added a topcoat of glaze that gave the piece an overall glossy texture. Overall, this artwork brings me joy to look at and reminds me of my hometown in Toledo, Ohio.
