I chose my piece of art because it has a meaning hidden behind it, whether it is the piercing stern look of the eye, or the eye facing certain death (the skull). My most successful study was the value study because I learned the most from it. I also like it because it is the piece of work that turned out the best. My least successful was the line drawing because it was more difficult, being the base, I am still happy the way it turned out but it looks more bare than what I hoped for. This project changed the way I look art by the way it should be formed or the way it should be blended, and put together.

The reason I chose the base for my mask, as a box is that I thought it would be easier to “present”, or to look more like a finish project.

If you look back on my previous ideas you can see that they all were related to nature, so I new from the start that I wanted to do something with nature. It was really hard to choose what I wanted to do, I was going to make a camouflaged mask, and have it represent paintball, but if I added paint it would have ruined the project, by making everything off balanced.

I am very happy the way my mask turned out, I don’ think I would do anything differently, other than brainstorm an idea and stick with that idea, instead of being indecisive.



Zentangle Hand Writing

I have a vey hard time drawing, let alone drawing hands, so this project was a very difficult for me, especially getting the bend and wrinkles of the fingers. Sometimes I am a perfectionist and try to do my very best, and the project really challenged me, at doing my very best, even the easy part of just choosing a word in sing language was hard for me. But now that it is over I am very glad that I stuck with it, and practiced because I am very proud of my results, from not being able to create art to creating zentangled hands.
