My Inspiration:
My inspiration was past experiences and equal rights to love. Because I have witnessed a lot good and bad relationships in Science Leadership Academy I decided I would do the picture on relationships and love. I also wanted to demonstrate the unknown definition of love and equality for love. 

Firstly, I began drawing abstract and different objects based on my past relationships with friends and boyfriends. This included lyrics to songs, scenes from memories and feelings. I chose what lyrics described the way i felt the most during these relationships. However, eventually I had to stop because I was afraid of doing a lot of work with my 6b pencil and coloring it in with paint or colored pencils. So as a beginner, I thought it would be best to draw bigger objects and letters so when it was time to color everything in I wouldn't lose as much detail. After, I was finished I only wanted to add color to certain parts. Therefore, I painted another picture using rainbow colors and glued them on objects in the picture. The hardest part was blending the colors. The most enjoyable part was the class time, and criticism from my teacher and classmates.

About My Picture:
My picture has several different colors. The selected colors represent equal rights to love and marriage (gay pride colors). There is a blank letter on the right that stands for the blank definition for love. I also spell out the word love in letters ( The letters are separated and everywhere showing the confusion of teenage relationships)

Pride Flag History:
"The Rainbow (or Gay Pride) Flag was created by artist and vexillographer [| Gilbert Baker], a friend of the late [| Harvey Milk] , in 1978. The flag debuted at the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Freedom Day Parade. It has since been used around the world as a symbol of LGBT unity in many variations, including adaptations such as bumper stickers and decals. The Rainbow Flag is recognized by the International Congress of Flag Makers. The Rainbow (Pride) Flag lives in the public domain."

My Inspiration:
My inspiration was past experiences and secret post.Secret post is very similar to a blogging site except it has pictures. People create pictures and write secrets on them. Posting secrets and inner thoughts anonymously they are able to reveal there inner most feelings freely.

**Process:**
Firstly, I began drawing the letters in different fonts. Each letter is a different size and shape than the first or next. Using google images I got an idea of what I pictures I wanted to draw to best illustrate the words. The board is from memories and feelings I usually feel. At first my idea was to draw lyrics to a familiar song. I thought that creating multiple post secrets by hand would be able to catch my peers attention. However, complications came when it was time to draw cursive letters. The most interesting thing was coloring it in with acrylic paint. In the end I did not finish but many of my peers said they enjoyed what they had seen so far.

About Acrylic Paint:
Acrylic paint was first used by artists in the early 1960's and has grown more popular over time. Acrylic paint is fast-drying paint. It contains pigment suspended in an acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints can be diluted with water but are very water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much of the paint is diluted with water or acrylic gels, the acrylic painting can result in a watercolor or an oil painting.

About My Picture:
My picture has several different colors within a message. It has pictures according to what the message reads. It shows creativity by illustrating realistic problems and secrets through scenes and portraits. The selected colors were chosen at random. It reads " I only listen to my friends secrets so i can have something good to gossip about". It was inspired by a http://www.tumblr.com
