Artist  statement :

Master style

portrait drawing

My piece depicts a women looking at something that has caught her a attention.The most obvious element is value . The most obvious principle is contrast . 

  To create this piece i used pencil and i also used different types of tools for my piece . I used a sharp ended eraser for the hair and i used drawing pencils for the value of my piece .

  My inspiration for this piece was i wanted to use a grid to help me but it was actually harder when i thought when i started . The emotion i tired to convey was she was looking confused like she was looking at something that caught her attention .

  My goal as an artist was to create the best piece i could . I did reach my goal as far as trying my best but i also feel like i could have did a little better.

  By creating this piece i learned how to draw better and i feel like i could have done a better job but it was hard at the same time .Overall i don't like the piece because i didn't draw light enough for my face and i messed up because my piece don't look like my picture i choose.

   My artwork is a tiger eye it has different colors and different textures .This piece is called the tiger eye its called that because that's what it is .The elements and principles i used is high pressure and low pressure in certain areas .I also  blended in different areas that u needed to .

   I used oil pastel for my piece , this piece as a tool i used a blending stomp and i used different techniques for this piece .To create this piece i used what was provided as in oil pastel and the blending stomps . I used a bunch of techniques for this piece high and low pressure i used blending in the eye .

   Nobody really inspired me for this piece i really didn't know what to do at first but then i just decided to do a eye .My piece does really have any type of meaning behind it i just wanted to do a eye so i decided to make it a tiger eye .

   My goals as in artist is to show growth and get more better as in artist.Yes this piece helped me as an artist i show growth every time piece i create i just have to blend better and work at a steady paste .

   I learned that every time you make a piece its not always going t turn out the way that you want it but it can if you take your time and work hard .The piece that i ended with was okay but it was really hard getting in in between .This piece will influence my next piece because i will be able to see the change in growth.

My artwork is art work that i tried my best on , all my art work isn't great but it takes time to become better at your artwork . Some elements that i used is value in my piece with the background and i used texture for the piece .

  I used different brushes and mixed different colors together. I used different types of tools and techniques for this project i used more texture then i have ever did .I used mixture to blend the flower more and i used value for the background .

  I think that i wanted to take this class myself didn't nobody really inspired me to start taking art serious . No it don't express a personal issue i just do it for fun. The emotions that i show in my art work is happy like flowers and the sun.

   My goals as a artist is to get better at art and to impress and inspire people to do more art . No i haven't reached the goals that i want to yet but it helps in the process of getting better at art .

   I learned that you can do more and make it look more realistic by texture and more value in a piece and also you can you value in different types of ways to impress someone .I think that if i would have took longer and tried a little bit harder to work and blend it would have looked a little bit better but its good overall .

Oil pastel

  My piece was a light bulb i really wanted to do it because Shawn coss had inspired me to do a light bulb with pills in it . Then after that i put don't do drugs , the title of my work was a cross contour piece with pen .

    The media i used in this piece was outlined with pencil and went over it in pen . i really used a lot of different textures in the piece i used stippling and cross hatching in the beginning of the piece I also used scrumbling .

    My inspiration was shawn coss yes it expresses a very social issue about doing drugs you shouldn't do drugs.The emotions that i felt was like don't do drugs like cause they will change your life.

   My inspiration was shawn coss in inspires a lot of artist around the world .This piece showed growth in my work .Yes i reached my goals it didn't turn out right but i did better then i thought .

   I learned that you cant have a perfect piece and you have to learn new things .No the piece wasn't what i planned it to be but it was okay .The piece will help me in the future because it shows growth .

Cross contour

Collage

watercolor

   My piece looks like a sunset in the background and then if has palm trees and in the front of the piece .The subject matter is a sunset and it has a perspective and the perspective is the palm trees . This piece don't have a title i just wanted to do something with color .

   Some principles i used are like what i should mix and some paint i let dry . For my media i used watercolor paint .I didn't use no tools and other things .I didn't look at one type of artist i just looked at what i thought was blending into my piece .

   This  piece doesn't have a specific point or emotions .i think my piece was cool and i liked it but i didn't get to finish my piece in time .I tried to show some chill emotions as in like a sunset is a chill mood so i thought to put it like that .

    My goals as an artist is to show growth in my pieces and become more better at art .No i didn't reach my goal because i didn't finish it in time .Its helping me get to my goal but i don't think this project was as good as a thought is would have been.

  I learned that you cant apply one layer of paint in watercolor .I also learned that if you are adding detail add it last.Yes my final piece is what i imagined it to be i believe i did the best i could .

My artwork is blue face which is a rapper . The subject matter is blue face .The title of my piece is collage of blue face .The elements and principles that you could look at is texture in the hair value in the background and movement on what you look at first .

   I used magazines and Elmer glue to do my piece i took the magazines and cut them out . I really didn't use any techniques in this piece i tore some of the pieces out because some of them didn't look right cut out .

   I actually didn't have nobody inspire me to do him we just wanted to do a rapper so we picked him to do .Yes my work will always inspire me and have a impact on my social and personal issues .I felt like my piece is a happy mood because of all the colors .

   My goals is to see growth in every piece i do or accomplish .Yes i reached my goal although it didn't turn out like i wanted.

    I learned to not put glue on top because it will mess up the top of other pieces and dont put too much glue .No its not i believe i could have did better .so whenever i grow up and show growth i could compare the two .

foreshortening

 My artwork is a octopus and the legs are sticking out . The subject matter is a octopus the title of my piece is foreshortening . The elements and principles i used were color , contrast , texture and line.

  The media i used was pen and ink and i used watercolor wash for the background .Some tools i used were paintbrushes and a sharpie for the outline .I also used a small skinny brush for the outline .

   No one inspired me but the artist we used was Andrea Mantegna. My work doesn't express a personal or social issue .The emotions i was trying to express is happy .

    My goals as an artist is to just show growth in my art work and art world . No i don't think this piece is good i really think that i could used a different media and subject matter .

    I learned that i need to slow down and everything isn't going to turn out the way it should .This piece isn't what i would of thought it would look like .This piece will influence my next piece to not rush myself next time and to take my time .

Art show 

My art show piece is a duck in a ocean and fish are in the ocean .The piece that i made dont really have a title . Some elements i used was texture and shape i really think i did a great texture in this piece . Some principles i used is contrast with the background and the ocean .

   The media is choose to do is acrylic paint  i choose this media because i did great on my last piece with it . The process i went through is just i did my background with 3 different blues and just blended them together . I also added some white in my background to make value .

   The big idea of this piece was a to explain about the oil spill in the ocean that happened a while back . It had a big impact on the animals in the ocean and it effected many people . I don't understand why we cant keep the enivorment clean .

   My goal with this piece was to send out a message to let everyone understand those are lives killed to they aren't human but all lives matter . My other goal was to show growth in my art to not only work hard but show growth .

   The media my artwork is made from is clay .The tools and techniques oi used is craving tools and caps and rolling pens. 

    Nobody inspired me to do this piece .My artwork doesn't express a emotional or social issue .The emotions i tried to do was nothing you really cant tell emotions until you put color on it .

   The goal for my piece is to make is even and smooth out all the sides .I liked my final piece i think i actually did better the i thought .I think i showed growth in the subject matter .
