media type="custom" key="12393766" LINE VALUE SHAPE/SPACE DIGITAL TEXTURE & FORM The reason I chose this piece because of its coloring and it was a neat piece. I think that my favorite study is the value study because I love how the black, whites and grays worked together. But, my least favorite study was the shape/space because it was difficult with little pieces. Doing this project has helped me look at the little details and how difficult abstract type paintings can sometimes be so easy. MASK PROJECT

My first idea for my mask was a bunch of music notes on a mask. I didn’t have any ideas for my background until after I had made my sketch. I took a bunch of music sheets and mod podged them onto a piece of wood. I then decided that my mask should be the same thing. So I painted music onto my mask like music sheets. I kept the huge note in the center of my mask like I originally planned. After all of that was done I thought that quotes on my artwork would be neat and so I quoted that “Music is everybody’s possession. It’s only publishers who think people own it.” I believe that anyone can make music one of there own. All they have to do is love it and believe in themselves. ZENTANGLED HANDS

When starting my hands I ran into a few problems. I drew my hands but then I realized that I left out a letter and I didn't really like the background that I started with. I thought that I was going to have to start over totally. Then instead of doing that I just cut out my hands and drew my missing letter. I pasted those to a new poster board and started my background. I did my design from my finger tips and started zentangling from there. I used a fine tip marker and decided I need some boldness. The thick tip marker solved my problems and made many of my designs stick out. The end result of this project, in my opinion, was amazing. I did a lot better than I thought I would have and that mad me feel great.
