It is Done, I just need a picture of it finished]]> 2017-09-22 14:37:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mblakeslee/4nada93lgo52/wish/190154136 mblakeslee https://padlet.com/mblakeslee/4nada93lgo52/wish/190163695 2017-09-22 14:57:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mblakeslee/4nada93lgo52/wish/190163695 mblakeslee https://padlet.com/mblakeslee/4nada93lgo52/wish/205907171 My finished landscape from the Botanic Gardens of Chicago. For now I will call it, "Blends of Nature's Elements". For this piece I used some fine tip marker/pens, of course pencil/eraser and water based duel-tip markers called Spectrum- Noir, if I'm correct. Overall I am very happy with this Project. It was one of the 3 assignments that we received at the botanic gardens but it didn't stop there and soon turned into something greater the more I worked on it. I'm very happy with the way the water part turned out as that was the part used with mostly all marker, especially since this was my first time using something like that.]]> 2017-11-11 17:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mblakeslee/4nada93lgo52/wish/205907171 mblakeslee https://padlet.com/mblakeslee/4nada93lgo52/wish/205907554 2017-11-11 17:47:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mblakeslee/4nada93lgo52/wish/205907554 mblakeslee https://padlet.com/mblakeslee/4nada93lgo52/wish/205907708 I took this picture of this scene at the Botanic Garden of Chicago so I could finish the piece later. I zoomed in and focused on a specific part of the photo for the project]]> 2017-11-11 17:49:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mblakeslee/4nada93lgo52/wish/205907708 mblakeslee https://padlet.com/mblakeslee/4nada93lgo52/wish/211428047 I call this finished piece, " An Unlikely Blend of Friendship." This is a mixed media pice done with some different pens and finishing the background with collaging book pages and tissue paper. Overall, this project really turned out well I was a little nervous but I trusted my gut and went with it. It was hard to figure out the medium to use for the background because of using one for the subject. Ultimately I decided on using collage because it was settle without being to boring and plain]]> 2017-11-29 15:03:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mblakeslee/4nada93lgo52/wish/211428047 mblakeslee https://padlet.com/mblakeslee/4nada93lgo52/wish/218083765 I know its still being worked on and very late but today I made myself do it and got pretty far with a lot of progress. I will continue tomorrow (Dec. 28th) and will hopefully finish!]]> 2017-12-28 05:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mblakeslee/4nada93lgo52/wish/218083765 mblakeslee https://padlet.com/mblakeslee/4nada93lgo52/wish/218084088 Note: This picture and the progress picture I took for this project I took with my Computer's webcam so they are really the same direction as the finished project picture. ]]> 2017-12-28 05:44:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mblakeslee/4nada93lgo52/wish/218084088 mblakeslee https://padlet.com/mblakeslee/4nada93lgo52/wish/218084142 This project was done with Acrylic paint with a layering technique. Overall, it turned out pretty well. I still have a lot to learn about paint. I wasted some time because I was scared, but doing that didn't help me learn anyway. I still get nervous when painting, that's just something i'll have to work on.]]> 2017-12-28 05:47:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mblakeslee/4nada93lgo52/wish/218084142 mblakeslee https://padlet.com/mblakeslee/4nada93lgo52/wish/218801916 This piece is called "A Memory Captured" 
I used Mechanical Pencil and Ebony Pencil and of course erasers to pull this off. Some of it got a little cut off but I'm really proud of this project. One, because of the result, but also because I had enough motivation to work on it on my own, because of who I was giving it to. Now I just have to work on applying that to my other schoolwork. This is the Original Copy that I gave as a gift. I will also post a picture of the copy made.]]> 2018-01-04 17:39:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mblakeslee/4nada93lgo52/wish/218801916
