 I choose this piece from Alexa Meade, because I thought it was very interesting and it was the first one the really caught my attention. I also really enjoy music so i felt that this piece could mean something to me. My most successful piece out of the value, line and shape and space was the shape and space piece.I feel that it was my best piece because the colors and a shapes really form together, I also enjoyed doing this one the most, I feel that I liked it best because I liked the process of cutting out the tissue paper and gluing it to my artwork. I feel that my least successful piece was the value study. It was my worst because I am not very good at finding the different shades throughout a painting yet, so it was a difficult task for me.This project has allowed me to view art differently by showing me the different styles and different techniques that artist use.

 My theme for my mask is volleyball. I choose volleyball because its a huge part of my life and I wish to play it in college. The plan for my mask is to make my actual mask a volleyball, for the back base of it I will make it our Central Montcalm High School court. On top of the court i will have a net to represent the volleyball net, on top of the nest i will place photos that i have from all of the different teams i have played on, i will also place quotes and items that are used in the game.



Mask Reflection

The theme for my mask is volleyball, I choose volleyball because its my favorite sport. My original idea for my mask was to make a smaller model of the middle court in our gym, and draw the lines and make it look as close to the actual court as possible. I did this using popsicle sticks and a hot glue gun. I painted on the lines and used stickers for the letters of the words. Then I had the idea to place a volleyball net over top of the court, and placed my mask which resembles a volleyball in the corner. I had originally planned to put pictures of my playing and my team on the board but after working so hard on the court I couldn’t allow myself to cover it up.

Overall I am very pleased with how my mask turned out, usually I am not very pleased with how my art projects turn out and I feel that this is something that looks good and that shows how hard I worked on it.



This was not my favorite. I hated drawing the hands, it was very difficult for me because drawing is not my strong suite. I did really enjoy doing the zentangles, i found it relaxing. I found my designs online and picked the few that i thought i could make look good and that caught my eye. This piece of work turned out way better than i thought it would have, i surprised myself.
