For this project, I decided to draw my younger cousin. The materials I used for this project was construction paper, newspaper, and aluminum foil. I wanted to depict how my cousin loves New York by having buildings at the top and drawing two different perspectives of him.
1. Something that I feel was successful was that the materials I used were easy to work with when gluing and I really like the background of the collage.
2. Something that I would change is maybe using a material more easier to work with like construction paper. Something that I struggled with was trying to draw on the aluminum foil with pencil because it was hard to see where the lines I drew were.

This is really late but I chose to focus on a sort of witch character casting a spell, wanting to make it look as if she’s summoning a force of nature. I decided to use sharpie to draw the character as it was easier to make a mark on the materials I used. For my collage materials, I cut patterns and colors out of pages of magazines. I used tissue paper to attempt to show flow because they are more flexible and soft. And I also ripped pieces of tinfoil chocolate wrappers to give the piece more shine and sparkle. I also cut out the flowers from the pattern on a tissue box. I tried to keep the materials thin and horizontal to suggest the flow created by the character.
1) Something I think was, at least a little bit, successful was how I constructed the witch and dress and hat. I felt like I could easily fit pieces together and I think they stand out against the background.
2) I think I would change the subject of the artwork as I worried the whole time about whether I was portraying it right.

Collage Project
1. One thing I think I was successful in was creating the collage for the background because it adds the pop of color.
2. One thing I would fix and struggled in was the shading of the face because originally I was supposed to use different colors, but I only had a black marker. Therefore, I used what I had.

For this project I wanted to show the other side of burqa. I was really inspired by them and I wanted to showcase the point in the negative space project that it is about blending in. I also wanted to show how expressive the eyes and eyebrows are. In the pandemic this is how everyone looks like and communicates. The white space is the outline of the figure. The blue acrylic paint background and burqa are the same to show blending in and emphasize the negative space.
1. Something that I did well is the burqa and concepts overall. The negative space is purposeful and the figure is accurate.
2. Something I would change is making the eyes pop out more. I like the way they are, but I believe it would look even more emphasized with colored pens which I didn’t have.

# data[].attributes.body
I was inspired by Tang Yau Hoong's zipper artwork and a key with a skyline as negative space - which I incorporated the night sky and skyline key together in my art. Instead of a typical key head, I replaced it with a four-leaf clover to represent my hope for a better future and luck in my life.

1. Something that I did successful is the drawing of the four-leaf clover key and the skyline of my family's hometown.

2. Something I would fix is the inconsistency of the blue - especially the area around the clover. Along with craftsmanship because the paint goes over the line in some parts and there are little patches at the bottom of the key.

For this project i wanted to symbolize the meaning of a lotus flower because last week i travelled and got to see many of them. Coming into this new year it was rough for many people and this project connects to that message because this flower is known for “If you feel lost, disappointed, hesitant, or weak, return to yourself, to who you are, here and now and when you get there, you will discover yourself, like a lotus flower in full bloom, even in a muddy pond, beautiful and strong.” “Be like a lotus.
1. Something that came out well was using a black pen and water color. My color choices also symbolize things about the lotus flower. brown- the color of Roots, Pink- The color of a lotus flower and Blue- for water
2. Something i could’ve worked on was giving it more dimension and not leave it in 2D. Even though i wanted to keep it simple and light I also could’ve made some some colors more vibrant.

# data[].attributes.body
For this project I decided to do an eye in a hand, and along the way I realized it resembled Sid the Sloth from Ice Age and incorporated it.
1. Something that I think came out well was the eyes I had factored into the hands. I really like how it made it part of the hand.
2. Something I can fix is the hand gesture because from the side profile of Sid the Sloth would be more to the side rather than in the middle would be the eyes.

# data[].attributes.body
For this project I wanted to illustrate that even thought we feel an intense sadness daily after someone's death, we know that they are in a better place and will always be there for us. I drew a skull with roses as the eyes, a tombstone as the noes and ribbons in the background. The materials I used was watercolor and color pencil.
1) Something I think was successful was color of the ribbon and the background.
2) Something I would fix would be the value change in the skull towards the right side so that it makes the skull standout more and make it look more realistic.

# data[].attributes.body
for this project i wanted to recreate a picture of me when i was younger. something i liked was the dress because i feel like it shows the texture i want. something i want to improve is the empty space because i feel like i wanted to emphasize my arms and face but i also want the background to be simple.

# data[].attributes.body
for this projected i wanted to only use pencil it’s pretty simple i wanted to draw a women that looks serious. 1. something i like about this piece is the shadows that i created and you can tell the difference.2. something i want to do better next time is to make something more unique and the hair i want to make it more realistic

# data[].attributes.body
For this project I wanted to convey loneliness, so I drew someone wandering through an alien landscape, surrounded only. by the elements. My medium was pen and marker.
1. Something I think I did successfully was the shadows. Sand dune contour lines are very hard to interpret so I knew my shadows had to be on point. I think I did good in giving the land texture.
2. Something I would fix is the shading on the row on plants. They would look much. rounder if I shaded the backs of the plants where the sun isn't hitting them.

# data[].attributes.body
For this project I was inspired by a vase of roses I have. I also enjoy drawing flowers and so I decided to draw the vase of roses. I left some of the roses and leaves blank to show negative space. I used colored pencil to fill in 2 of the roses and a few leaves.
1.Something I think was successful was the way I colored the leaves. I used different shades of green to make it look as realistic as possible.
2.Something I would fix would be the vase. I think I could've added more value to make it look more realistic.

# data[].attributes.body
I decided to draw a girl lying on water. I wanted to isolate her face and convey a sad moment with watercolor.
1. something that i did successful was the movement and details on her hair
2.something i would fix would be the over mixing of blue and green on the girls neck and shoulders

# data[].attributes.body
For this project I decided to draw a a girl and her hair. This project shows negative space as i used acrylic paint in adding color to the hair. I blended the girl into the the white background.
1. something that i did successful was the use of negative space and the shading on the girl's neck.
2. Something I can improve on would be blending out more of the acrylic paint in her hair.

# data[].attributes.body
So for this project I decided to draw another portrait of myself. This project is about negative space so within my artwork the background is what shows negative space. The wide and openness behind me allowed the existence of negative spaces. 1) One thing that came out really well is my the shadings and how I generally drew my eyes. I think there isn’t much difference compared to the reference photo that I used. 2) However, I think what I can improve on or fix is the values in my hair. I realized that my hair looks more like one shade rather than having multiple shades.

# data[].attributes.body
i saw a picture of someone wearing a waist trainer and it kind of inspired me. i was going to sculpt something but it just didnt work out, so here we are. i love the idea of clothing  fading into negative space. to achieve this i used black acrylic for the negative space and colored pencil for the positive space.
1.  something thing i thought was successful was my color scheme and my use of negative space. i really thought it was cool to have the clothes as the negative space.
2. something i need to work on is my shading with colored pencil. i feel like some places look off or maybe not finished.

# data[].attributes.body
For the Negative Space project, I used watercolor to make a solar system with vines coming out of earth. I also incorporated the hands as negative space where there was no watercolor.
1. Something that I thought that came out successful was the washes of the solar system and the control of water.
2. Something that I could fix is to plan out the hands (draw lightly) on the paper before I started painting, so I don't have to paste another paper on to a paper. I would also lightly sketch out the vines, so it wouldn't look unclear after I put my first layer of washes.

# data[].attributes.body
For this project, I decided to draw butterflies that were scattered around as to something in a movie would depict. There is a light source coming in as there is some light parts in the background as well as the butterflies.
1) Something that i did successful was the design for the butterflies as they seem sort of realistic.
2) Something I should have fixed was the background and make it seem more realistic such as adding colored pencils.

# data[].attributes.body
For this project I wanted to illustrate the feeling you get when you’re reading a really captivating and interesting book. So I wanted the bright light to symbolize how a book draws you in, the big eyes to show the interest a person has when reading, and the void background to represent how everything around you is blocked out when reading.
1.) Something that came out well were the eyes. I like the value I added to and around the eyeballs and how I chose purple for the eye color.
2.) something that I would fix is the book. Although I’m not used to using colored pencils I could’ve done better for the value of the book with more knowledge of lights and shadow.

# data[].attributes.body
My idea was a someone making a cup of tea. I wanted to mix pencil and paper like what we did for the last project but, this time not a portrait. I was inspired by one of the artists from the slideshow Jarek Puczel and Mathilde Roussel-Giraudy .
1. Something I did successful was not accidentally getting tea in the blank areas. I had tea stained the background to go on theme.
2. Something I would fix would have to be the gingham. When cutting out the paper I should have measure them and making sure they were all the same size.

# data[].attributes.body
For this project I wanted to make a piece of me dissipating, and I wanted to do a little bit of deconstruction to have negative space within the portrait as well as in the background.
1. I think that I did a good job creating values and details in my face since I be looking like a sculpted god.
2. I think I could have made the deconstruction overall less messy, some of the squares are uneven and it bothers me a little. I also over-drew my hair and it is bothering me, I didn't look at my sketch lines close enough and painted to the edge without realizing.

# data[].attributes.body
For this piece I tried an idea I previously tried in middle school but didn't succeed in. I was inspired by Cristina Troufa’s art so I incorporated negative space by leaving the lily pads blank. I wanted to try and get my piece to feel completed even though some pieces were blank.

1. I think I did well with the hands. I worked really hard on getting the tiny details of the hands as well as the correct value. I think one hand looks better than the other but overall they're not terrible.

2. I think I could fix the water because it doesn't look realistic at all. I should’ve practiced more before attempting it on my final piece.

# data[].attributes.body
This idea of negative space is shown through the rocks which is shaped like faces facing each other. Something that I think that came out good would be the shading of the rocks and the depth of the water. Something that I could of fixed would be the realism of the rocks and add more features

# data[].attributes.body
For my collage project I chose to do a self portrait. I thought I looked good in this picture so I wanted to do something with it. My medium is marker. For the background I stitched steel thread into black construction paper to get the spiral effect.
1. Something I think I did successfully is merging the two contrasting pieces of paper together with a writ iteration of myself.
2. Something I would change would be the line work with the marker, the top of my hat isa different color than the rest of it.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose to draw a self portrait with the use of some flowers. I wanted to include nature into my artwork which is why I also decided to have my background as leaves. Something that went successful about my drawing is the outcome of the flowers. They came out nice and realistic which is something I personally like a lot. The leaves also came out better than I thought it was so I was also satisfied. However, one thing that I had trouble within through my artwork was putting all the values in due to the way I created my collage. I would definitely change the way I place my papers.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose to draw a portrait of myself. I wanted myself to be very colorful because even in the darkest points of my life, I will remain cheerful. I wanted the collage to be the face and hands through color blocking. It fits with my scarf. My medium is pencil and colored pencils. For the background, I glued red, purple, and blue construction paper on 2 sketchbook pages.
1. Something I did successfully was the value in my face and arms. It looks really realistic, and poppy like a painting.
2. Something that I would change is my background. I think it would stand out more with a newspapers in the background.

# data[].attributes.body
For the collage project I chose to draw a portrait of myself. My medium is pen and for the background I ripped pages out of brochure/book things sent by colleges because I liked the idea of having city sites behind me

1. Something successful about my piece is my hair, it took me forever but I think I did a good job with making it look lively instead of very flat.
2. Something that I would change is the way that I made my background, I wasn't very smart with my placements.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose to draw a portrait of my mother in pencil. I focused on the details of her face and then decided to break apart the drawing by creating an unproportional look.
1. Something I think is successful about my piece is how i drew the ears.
2. Something I feel that I would redo is the hair. I don't think I would choose the same materials I used.

# data[].attributes.body
i chose to draw my brother in graphite and colored pencil. more specifically i shaded my brother using graphite only and emphasized the mask by using colored pencil along with the tassel since it was blue too. my collage consists of papers related to school such a readings and test papers.
1. something i feel is successful is the shading of the mask. the mask has many creases and through the shading it looks pretty realistic.
2. something that i struggled with/would change is the collage. i feel that it is somewhat empty and i could've added more pizzazz.

# data[].attributes.body
i chose to draw a portrait of myself because i want to try drawing myself since i always draw others and i wanted to show myself in this piece. in this piece i used color pencil. watercolor and gold color sharpie.1) something i think is successful about my piece is the shading on my face and the way i placed the different types of paper. 2) something i think i should work on is my hair i always have a problem drawing my hair i’ll try to do better next time

# data[].attributes.body
I chose to draw a portrait of my little brother. I decided to use colored pencil in my drawing. I used different artworks that he has done over the years for my collage because I wanted my piece to represent who he is. Since I wanted this piece to represent him I used a lot of colorful materials because he is a very happy person.
1) Something I think is successful about my piece is the value on my little brothers clothes.
2)Something I would redo about my piece is the way I did the collage. I think I could have done a better job at making it represent my little brothers personality by placing the materials a different way.

# data[].attributes.body
My piece is a drawing of someone else focusing on natural hairstyles. I used color pencil and marker to outline features. I used book pages for the face and background and used tissue paper for collage pieces.
1) I found the repetitive colors to be successful
2) One thing that was challenging was trying to keep the colors from looking crazy. Putting skin color when surrounded by certain colors (purple/ green) would have made it more out of place.

# data[].attributes.body
My piece is a portrait of me wearing a mask portraying the new life of quarantine we all have gone through. I used post its and old book pages to make it look more story telling vibe to it. I used micron pen on top to draw the portrait.
1)I feel like the hair was successful because of the individual waves.I did.
2) One thing that was challenging was the eyes which I had to redo 3 times

# data[].attributes.body
My work is a self portrait between past and present. I used markers and fine liners on drawing the two portraits because it works better on cardboard and polished paper (which were books and magazines). My work is about past and present, from a caterpillar to butterfly.
1.) Something I think it was successful about my piece is my metaphoric use between me and a butterfly.
2.) Something I wish I had done differently is maybe using a color pencil and make my portraits look a lot more realistic. Something I've struggled on is trying to get the right idea. I kept switching my ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
My work is mainly focused on beauty fashion and things that grab my attention, Whether it involves hair care, make up or a type of clothing fashion- it’s all in this collage that I put together. My collage doesn’t involve much materials but has lots of magazine paper cut outs and letters that popped out of the paper. The model that is in my collage with the purple/pink rose petal dress are actually real cut outs of rose petals that I glued down for texture. some thing that I feel I did successfully in this collage is the variety of colors I put into it. something I struggled in was the real rose petals I chose to glue down onto the paper which was tricky because it was my first time doing something like that and was the most time consuming out of the whole process.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose to draw a portrait of my cousin. I decide to use pencil  in my college/drawing because it was the easiest to apply onto the newspaper.  If I had made a mistake I can just simply eraser it.  Also it was better to use when shading for the value in her face, hands, and hair.  For the paper I had used magazines, advisements and newspapers. My cousin favorite colors are black, tan, and white.

1. Something I think that was successful about my piece is the collage part I did for her jacket. I wanted to be similar to the photo I was references and to have something bright that would stand out.

2. Something I wish I had done differently was the background. I tired to find my  cousin favorite colors or what was close them and I feel the background is too dark. What I would try to do differently would be either to find another way to use those colors or just use brighter colors.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose to draw a self portrait. I decided to use colored pencils for the portrait and brown and tan paper for the collage because I’ve been really into neutral/earthy colors lately and i wanted the portrait to stand out a little more.

1. Something I think is successful about my piece is my hair. Drawing hair in general is very difficult but I think the final product didn't come out so bad, you can see the shine and the ringlets which is something I didn't think I could do.

2. Something i struggled with/wish i had done differently/would redo about my piece is the collage. I should've been a little more careful when glueing/taping my collage pieces because now there’s some bumps that really bother me. I also feel that my college seems very empty so maybe i would construct the two sketchbook pages into a more squared shape.

# data[].attributes.body
I choose to draw a portrait of my friend because I wanted to work with different features. I decided to use markers and pencil on the paper side because it would come up easily and wanted to keep it fairly simple while on the jean side I decided to use paint for the hair because most of the materials I’ve tried didn’t show up.

1.  I think the hair was successful because it sort of takes the form of small water waves/ripples which I found fitting for the theme of the piece.
2. I wish I had been able to better present the koi on the jean side but it was pretty difficult to work on jeans and that is why I ended up using cut out sketchbook and colored paper.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose to draw a portrait of myself. I used pen for the hair and face and a bit of pencil for the subtle facial features like the eyes. For my paper materials I used construction paper (gray background), patterned paper, and newspaper. I wanted the portrait to portray how I tend to overthink a lot so I used newspaper for the thought bubble coming out of my head.
1.) I think what was successful in my piece was the hair. It was my first time trying hair so I didn’t expect it to turn out decent. I like how I showed the shine and waves/curls in my hair.
2.) Something that I would change is the collage. Even though it is interacting with my portrait with the thought bubble, butterflies, and flowers, I would’ve liked  for it to interact with the facial features more but didn’t know how to. It was something I struggled putting together because I had to think about how to incorporate the portrait into it.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose to draw a portrait of myself. I decided to use sharpies, whiteout, and colored pencils to do my collage. I used these because colored pencil is seen easily on the dictionary pages, sharpies are better on glossy pages, and whiteout to add a new weird material since I didn't have anything white to use (a white that can be used)
1. Something I think that was successful about my piece is how I incorporated my portrait into my collage. I was worried before of it coming out too small or too disfigured
2. Something I struggled with was trying to add more things into the background. Since the pages in the background are like glossy, colored pencils won't be seen that easily so I had to try to get materials that'll be seen.
