Paragraph 1- Why do you do the work you do? Support your statement telling the reader more about your goals and aspirations. I actually created three different pieces in the second quarter in art. The first piece of work was a Nike campaign but I became frustrated and could not finish because of the difficulty of the picture. My second piece was a picture of the Rugrats and I started this because I was just googling things to draw one day in art and the Rugrats just popped into my head. I started to draw this piece and Jordan helped my along the way but after the drawing was complete I did not paint it because I felt that I wanted to paint something. One day at a friends I was bored and he just happened to have some paint so I just let the brush go on the canvas and think I created a design that I though was nice. I bought the painting to school and someone actually took it and this was the piece I was going to be using for my project but now I will be using the picture of the Rugrats which I cannot upload but you have on you computer. Paragraph two- Tell the reader how you make decisions before, during, and after the artwork is created. How and why do you select materials, techniques and themes? Keep it simple and BE SPECIFIC. Well for me I usually don't draw things because I get frustrated if my picture is not almost exact. When I paint I just let the brush go and hope for the best honestly. I feel designs are my strong point. When I do draw something it is likely something that caught my attention on tv or a a character from a show that my sister watches. materials actually depends on the picture and what I see fit best but I try in some way to incorporate paint in all of my pieces. Paragraph 3- Tell the reader a little more about your current work. How did this work grow out of prior artwork or life experiences? What are you exploring, attempting or challenging by doing this work? My picture now is actually not complete but I actually do have a finished piece and hopefully the person who took it brings it tuesday so I can show it to you Ms. Hull. The Rugrats work I have did is incomplete because it is not colored nor painted. My attempt is to actually to see how what my mind can imagine as my paintbrush or paintbrush touches the canvas because my strong point are usually designs.

Since I was small I have also had a fascination with abstract art because you could make anything and still imagine a picture being multiple things. I also like the fact that it test the water of what art can be. They say that beautiful art work cannot be defined. But as a result of these abstract paintings I received a wide spectrum of feedback. Some people asked" what is that" or "ill" or just simply laughed. While other people have said "You should hang that up," "Can I take it home?," or "that is beautiful." This still raises the question what is art and how is it defined.

The third quarter in art up to the midway point was the sketching of Nike campaign ads. I was going to make a scrapbook with the ads but could not complete the tedious work of making the pictures small and I felt that would have been the best way to get the best affect. Quickly dropping this idea I moved to the idea of making abstract art and this is how I fared making two seperate projects. For these two projects I basically just rolled with the punches and the only thing I took into account was the color coordination.

This like previous artwork pays no life dividence. It is simply the imgination and creativity of my mind shown through art. Creating thia art I am testing the sophistication and what can actually be clasified as art.
