This is the sketch of my original idea which was to show the "smaller things in life" and finding the appreciation fr it like my classmate concentrated on his classwork.

I want to focus on vivid and motioned things and places. I want to show images of things in the moment and how it makes the illusion of something someone would see as they are walking. I want to photograph pictures of views such as cities, buildings, or even nature as well. This image stood out to me because of the fair lights and the motion of how it looks of people walking.

I want to focus more on the living things in life, even the things that go unnoticed. For example, flowers are such a beautiful living thing. These flowers were sticking out in the pathway and people walked by not noticing it. However they stood out to me because of the beautiful color.

I want to focus on nature and how it could make one feel while being out in the nature. I want to show the ways that nature can make people feel and how some use nature or flowers to show how they are feeling during that period of time.

I took this image of myself with the help of a tripod and my phone. This image is meant to represent being unsure and the emotions that are brought with this.(Transition Issues). My goal is to illustrate the struggles of being a high school student by creating art throughout different periods of the year. My art would be based around myself.

This is only what I will call "my sketch". I am thinking of editing the picture to give it a dejected look. I would make myself kinda gray-ish to symbolize sadness/confusion, making my computer screen pop to really help emphasize the problem I am facing and how it's making me feel, and somehow make the lamp in the back pop to illustrate hope in the light. I might re-take this photo at a night/ darker time.

I want to focus on the topic of expressing personality/ acting differently around different groups of people. I decided to draw a disco ball and in each square, it will be the same person but they will have different clothes and different facial expressions. This will represent the fact that people don't show their true personality and change when around someone new or different.

I want to focus on the emotions of isolation and loneliness expressing the viewpoint of one’s mind when going through this state and how it can cause one to feel inside and outside

I am focusing on the importance of pollution and the damage it is creating to the Earth. People will just go and throw their stuff in the streets or as seen in the desert, knowing that no one will say anything. This over time has become a very big issue in society. Not only have humans thrown their trash anywhere, but also our factories have caused photochemical smog.

I want to focus more on sports or just seeing the thrill of something through a photo. I chose this photo because you could feel the nonchalant feeling of the player., and how much the fans hate him, that adrenaline feeling I want to focus on. I want to see the thrill of something through a photo.

I chose this image because from that point of view it looks like he is waiting for you with open arms to go up to him I want to focus on this becuase it shows that Chrsit is the way and that he is forgiving and keeps his arms open and my future pictures might involve stuff like this or soccer.

Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer statue is not only one of the most famous attractions in Brazil-it's one of the most iconic statues in the world. And as the most visible landmark in Rio, which hosted the 2016 Summer Olympics, it's normal for the statue to get some three million visitors a year. However, weather conditions are taking a toll, and the Catholic Church (which pays for the maintenance of Christ the Redeemer) is asking for help caring for the structure, which is the largest Art Deco statue in the world and a key part of the city of Rio's UNESCO World Heritage site designation.

Cristina Ventura, an architect who is overseeing the statue's upkeep, told the Religion News Service that "moisture is seeping in through cracks in the soapstone that lines the Christ and building up inside leaving it damp and causing rust." On top of that, the 98-foot-tall statue (not including the 26-foot pedestal) is hit by lightning an average of six times per year, resulting in cracks and other damage, and needs new conductors installed to prevent further issues.

The Chico Mendes Institute is the body that manages and maintains the statue as well as the Tijuca National Park it stands within. It costs about $1.5 million per year to maintain the statue and pay the 30 employees who staff the park, but it's clear that additional funds are needed to handle the most serious damage to Christ the Redeemer. A spokesman from the institute confirmed a meeting with the local archdiocese to talk about how to cover the cost of repairs. In the past, there have been two separate fundraising campaigns organized by the Catholic Church, in 1923 and 1929, to finance upgrades and maintenance for the monument. One possible option is increasing the ticket price that tourists pay to enter Tijuca-currently, none of those funds go to the Church.

Orani João Tempesta, archbishop of Rio de Janeiro, has set up a group called Friends of Christ the Redeemer to help raise funds for the statue's 2017 makeover. "If you think of Paris, you think of the Eiffel Tower. If you go to New York, you visit the Statue of Liberty," he said in an address to the group. "For the past 85 years the monument has been maintained with the help of private donations and the Catholic Church's own resources. But unfortunately, with the economic crisis in Brazil, we need to appeal for more contributions to make ends meet."

I want to focus on nature, for example butterflies, flowers, waterfall, etc. Because I want to express liberty and happiness, also that we can be able to do a lot of things if we want to, with sacribe we can accomplish a lot.

I want to focus mainly on the effects and serious causes of loss of biodiversity and overall issues nature suffers due to our actions. I chose to address this issue by usind a form of horror depicted as a distopian wasteand, further exploring the issues of polllution and its effects on human life. By calling attention of these issues through extinction, I can sell the point that the world is better off without humans and their pollution, that we as a species are only destroying the planet. as the city seems destroyed and torn, I want to call attention to our self-extinction.

"How can I use scare tactics to make my audience fear the causes and effects of loss of biodiversity"

Since my issue is around beauty standards and insecurity I chose to depict this topic by painting or digitally drawing a woman painting what she believes is a “perfect woman” while the woman in the painting looks at her. This is to portray how two people may look at eachother and wish they have what the other has instead of being happy with themselves. The curly and wavy hair is important to me because it’s something I often see people wishing they could trade while complaining about their own.

I want to focus on how anxiety feels like. The pieces are supposed to be interpreted in different ways but this one, in particular is meant to show how the persistent worry and fear is all in our minds, which in many ways is consuming us. Anxiety is common throughout many people, so I feel like this topic will be relatable, especially when showing how anxiety prevents us all from branching out of our comfort zones.

I wanted to focus on a animal which represents many important things for ecosystems, as well as a spiritual meaning, whales symbolize cosmic waters and are considered a symbol of safety, emotions and sensitivity.
I am going to be working digitally.

Drawn from a photo I've taken, I asked myself "How can I use my own images and experiences to explore nature and human society interacting (very specific I know) using traditional art?"

I was going through a magazine and I cme across this college. I thought I could make a collage like this but about the mexican culture. I could use Frida Khalo or Cesar Chavez maybe a mix of all mexican cebeleberties

I wanted to focus on the feeling of stress and pressure. Always feeling like you're being judged for every little thing you do. The feeling of stress slowly rising up until you're eventually completely submerged in it. Life just feeling like it's becoming too much.

I am going to be working digitally.

"Wall representing failures, standing in the way of reaching your goal" is what says at the bottom of the page. My subject is mostly the adventures of reaching your goal, and what challenges you go through. I was unsure to use watercolors but I'm so surprised how it turned out and I think I'm going to stick with it.

I wanted to portray the feeling of confusion through my first sketch. The feeling of being in a familiar situation that is very different. The use of different plants taking over the buildings creates a form of chaos and displacement that the character finds familiar but does not quite understand.

I was planning on making this digital.

They have just experienced sexual assault, the victim has shut themselves inside their own little world turning the coffin into their own almost safe space. To them it feels controlled, safe and comforting. Despite being seen as unhealthy by others in the moment it comforts them, for they are not ready to face their growing inner turmoil.

Really rough and simple sketch of my idea. My issue revolves around animal abuse and neglect. I'll add more details, a background especially, but this was just a basic sketch. ;-;
