My writing illustration is about a warm summer day, with three trees standing under a bright sun. i used bright colors to depict the sunny atmosphere, and i used rounded materials for the trees to give them and exiting and cheerful look. i found that blending the different shades of green for the trees helped them look more realistic and vibrant.

My Haiku Illustration is about ferrets.  The mediums I used are water color, marker, colored pencil, and paint. The new medium I learned how to use is modeling paste. I used it to create the ocean waves and then I painted over them.  I didn't really have any challenges.

My Idiom illustration is "The lights are on but nobody's home" which means someone is stupid. I decided to represent the idiom as if people had a house in their head. I also gave an empty and a little stupid face expression to my character to emphasize the meaning of the idiom. The top two elements in my illustration are texture and lines. I used texture for the hair and also the grass and tree. I used lines in the whole piece but especially for the hair and also for the house to create perspective. My biggest challenge was to paint the title because I originally wanted to use sharpie but ended up finishing it at home where I only had watercolor. There are therefore parts where the black of the letters made the background darker which really frustrated me. A new technique I learned was to use a slightly darker color to create texture and depth, like I did for the hair for example.

This piece illustrates Michael’s frustrations with standard tables and shows overcoming standardizations. Watercolors and printed images were used to show the setting and depict the positive energy that was used to deal with the villain.  Adding texture to the chia pets proved to be the biggest challenge and I learned to explore different gluing methods.

My Haiku Illustration is about a poker showdown where both players are going all in, one with the best starting hand in the game (pocket aces) and the other with also a really lethal hand, king and queen suited. The top two elements of art being used are paint and color pencil. I used color pencil to add depth and visuals to the poker theme while using paint to add a fitting background and to a add a unique complexion to the color pencils. The biggest challenge throughout the project for me was finishing up the illustration on time for the due date. I liked learning how to incorporate smaller images into bigger larger projects.

my drawing is about how when I get a good grade on a test. I get happy and talk about how easy and how it is a piece of cake. I used alcohol markers to make it look colorful. The biggest challenge throughout my work was trying to make the cake look realistic and the plate and I would've added more. I used tracing paper to try to make the plate more oval. Sometimes I thought of giving up but I kept going.

My writing illustration is about my original character Maiden, who is a widow (obviously). I promise she's prettier in my regular art instead of this side profile. The two main elements of art is probably shape with the three distinct objects/peron, and color, since the cake is light colored and the other two are dark. The biggest challenge was the side profile which I had to make many concepts of, and just how long doing lace by hand took. For new technique it's probably watercoloring things other than circles and lines. I know the text is very small, so here's the Haiku, "Widow dressed in black, Isn't it death till do us part? Obscure all with veil"

My Writing Illustration is based of a idiom "I'm more confused than a chameleon in a bag of skittles." I found this quote and thought it was a funny and unique idiom. A chameleon blends in with its surroundings so chameleons surrounded by skittle would be confused on what color to be. The top two elements used in this piece were color and value. I used brighter colors for the skittles and lighter shades for the chameleons to  make them pop out more. I used cross hatching and hatching throughout the piece to add value. The biggest challenge throughout this piece was getting all the little details on the skittles boxes colored in, and the repetition of it. A new technique I learned was to outline certain parts In White to make then pop out more.

I used my haiku sentence for this piece. The medium of this piece has a base of alcohol markers and colored pencils for the extra detailing. The one thing that I had trouble with was the bushes, I accidentally used the wrong color for the bushes. A technique I learned, was the positioning of the things in the art, letting them work together in one space.

My alliteration is about pink pig eating pepperoni pizza in paris. I used paint, glitter, and alcohol markers in this peice. i used glitter to give the clouds texture and as pixie dust. i used paint to give the grass and sky a nice bright look. I used the markers to color and shade the pigs and flowers. The biggest challenge was when i spilled some blue paint and it was hard to get off. I learned how to scrape off the paint which is a good thing to know.

My idiom illustration is a piece of cake, meaning something easy. In my illustration, I drew a piece of cake, but also to show something easy, I drew a hand painting my cake, because that is easy for me. My top two elements of art in my illustration are color and texture. I used color throughout my whole piece. One example of a color scheme I did is in the left photo frame in my background, there is a warm color scheme from my sprinkles. There is also a monochromatic color scheme with the different shades of pink. Texture is shown in my cake and background as I used modeling paste on my cake frosting and glitter. Also, in my background, the table the cake is on has a wooden texture to it. My illustration also has many 3D elements. My biggest challenge throughout the process of this project was having my paint explode. I then had to partially restart my project and start on a new paper, saving what didn't get covered in paint, making this project more difficult. A new technique I found beneficial is using modeling paste. I found it to be a fun way to add texture and make the cake look more realistic!

My haiku illustration is about the stories I make up in my head before I go to sleep. I used shape and colour to bring everything together. The Biggest challenge was trying to find the best way to put the story snapshots around the writing. I learned how to use terpenoid to smooth out the colour pencil.

My drawing is about how I tend to over eat, then feeling bad about it afterwards.  I stress eat to help me take my mind off of stressful things.  I used water colors and alcohol markers in my project, the black being all water colors!  I layered the alcohol marker on top of each other in order to achieve the dark yellow for the teeth.  A new technique that I probably learned was how to create larger art projects.
