My artwork is a sketchy looking rabbit man. He represents a sort of more natural but weird demon.

I used a light/dark contrast. I left a lot of space around his ears, sort of making it look like one of those spacious mugshots.

1.     Do you feel that your artwork is successful?  Tell me why you think that.
I do not think it's successful. It didn't turn out the way I wanted it to, and it didn't have enough detail.

2.     How does your work reflect the theme of the project, "Making/Leaving My Mark".  Explain in detail with examples from your work.
I took it literally and painted my face really big on a board. I am my own mark I suppose.

3.     What was most challenging for you with this project and how did you deal with it?
I struggled with painting a face, it was hard to make skin color as well as getting all the highlights and shadows in without going overboard.

4.     What makes your artwork engaging? Be specific in your answer.
There are many things to look at in it, and maybe a viewer wouldnt be able to recognize me at first and try to think about who it is.

5.     What were some decisions that you had to make during this process?  How did it guide your work?
I had to skimp out on details because of the time limit. It turned out looking very flat.

6.  What are your reflections on working large scale?
It was absolutely terrible but it was nice to be able to get smaller details in. I didnt like having to mix so much paint.

I made it all black, as emo as it sounds-reflecting my personality, also adding gold and bright color. Also personality. Sorta.

1.  What interested me about this work is the fact that i would be able to choose whatever background i wanted. I chose the sky.

2.  My plan for the project unfolded like this: would draw the paintbrushes and decide on the background. Id color in the background, then color the brushes based off the background colors.

3.  I had never noticed before that the white highlights are so blocky, and look real icky when youre drawing them, but when you look from far away its ten times more realistic.

4.  What I would do differently next time is take a picture of something more reflective and interesting.

5.  I think my piece turned out quite crappy cause i HATE colored pencils, i can never get the effect i want, and its awful. But i did my best so..it happened. Woo

My art applies to my concentration my integrating the main idea of asian food. I want them to see how the ramen river resembles a sense of warmth among the cold trees surrounding it. It shows an interesting concept that can bring a bunch of ideas to your mind, such as, well, eating a river, which one wouldnt normally do. I feel that the world is a pretty dark place but food brightens it up for sure. To make contrast, i used the dark, dreary background along with the bright, colorful river. My reference was my usage of small canvases as i had done before.

My plate reflected my groups theme of Hispanic culture with a woman who painted her face like the decorative sugar skulls of Dia de Los Muertos. I think that my plate had a lot more potential but I played it too safe. I think I could've done better with a different theme. The most challenging part of the process was figuring out what glaze should go where. I liked the freedom of design we had, but did not like the group idea.

Her face painted white

Brighter than snow on the ground

But still wears a mask
