seasons project independent projectThis project was inspired by a the seasons. I choose that theme because I wanted to show the change. I choose to do portraits of women. this series is about how people change with the passing of time, which has been on my mind lately, because of how my life is changing. I choose watercolor as the medium because the fluidness makes me think of time.
magazine CoverFor my magazine cover I choose to do collage. The theme of the cover is how nature inspires. I choose to use pictures of mountains because I find they are very beautiful.
Senior ex artist statement For My Senior ex I did a series of works that were inspired by words. I choose words that explored many themes but in the end they all had a sort of magical realism feeling that tied them all together.I like for my paintings to embody a sort of fantastical imagery. For this series I was inspired by Minjae Lee and Anges Cecile. Two very impressive portrait painters. I love the flow of there drawings. I choose to work in watercolor and charcoal because I wanted that type of flow in my work as well. I used portraits for most of my pieces because I feel that portraits are very expressive. With this series I wanted people to feel a sort of fairy tale magic, This assignment was inspired by three words white,square,foot the only rule was that you had to some how incorporate this words into a piece. I choose collage foe my piece because I liked the one color collages we did before and I wanted to do it again. the piece was square shape and then I painted feet on top of the collage. I think I could have done better on painting the feet and on having a concept it did not really mean any thing I just liked the way it looked.
I made this self portrait because I wanted to represent my connection to my art. People say that the eyes are the windows to the soul. But I think that my artwork is the window to my soul. I wanted to show this by putting paint on my hands and places them over my eyes. I put the paint on my hands to show how my hands are what I use to express my self through my art .

This collage was a mixed media self portrait. we had to use string collage and an image on cloth. I liked the way it turned out. I think I could have done better with the sewing I also think that the picture could have been better in expressing the idea of comfort zone. The piece represents my comfortablity in places on one edge I show my discomfort in urban places because of how loud and chaotic it is. One the other edge i show my comfort in nature because of how quite and calm it is.

In this collage I took four pictures out of a magazine and cut hem into squares and triangles and then rearranged them in a different order on another piece of paper. I like the way it turned out. I think that the colors go good together I also like the way you cant really tell whats going on in each picture but together it seems complete. I didn't like how some of the pieces didn't fit into their shapes and so some of the white shows.

In this photo i used string and a drawing mannequin to represent the act of breaking free.This photo makes me think about breaking free from things that hold me back in life.I think that the photo has nice value.Also the texture of the photo is smooth.The photo has good harmony between the colors.I think that the cropping supports the image.The photo has a lot of black in it but I think it works.I think that the depth of the photo supports the idea.The main focus of the photo is in the middle of the page.In this photo I am trying to communicate the act of breaking free.I think that the photo has a strong message because any one can look at this photo an see what I am trying to convey. It is a very simple but strong message.To make the message stronger I would make the pose of the mannequin more dynamic.Over all I think that it was a very good piece.

The photograph is of two sisters on a bus.In this picture I see an older sister helping her younger sister with her homework on the way home.The older girl looks like she is deep in contemplation and trying to figure out her younger sisters homework and the younger sister looks like she is bored and not paying attention.In these photo I am trying to communicate the relationship between an older sister and an younger sister.When I look at this picture I think of the relationship between me and my older sister.The light is dark but the picture gives off a warm feeling because of the the girls expression and posture. I think that the picture could have more values of light and less black. I think that the photo has a good range of value.The dominance of the photo are the two girls.I think that the photo is balanced by the girls in the front and by the bus driver seat in the back.I think that the photo has unity because your eyes our first drawn to the girls and then to the window and then the other side of the bus.The main focal point is in the front of the photo.If I could change this photo I would make it brighter. I feel that the image is successful and I really like it.

this photograph symbolizes someone devouring a book.In this picture I see myself "eating" a book.In this photo I am trying to communicate that books are just like food for your brain.When I look at this picture I see a girl eating a book. The lighting is a bit to bright and the resolution is a bit low.I think that the photo could have better lighting and a better background.I think that the the photo has good balance and also dominance.
