The Reason why I chose Georgia Okeefe's painting of the Pentunias, was because I'm very interested in flowers and Georgia's flower paintings popped out a lot to me. I also loved how it showed every detail of the petals. Also, It was simple too. Flowers remind me of my mom because she is in love with them and I thought I would do something close to something she loves.

I had difficulty with the tissue paper, because every time I would try to cut it, the tissue paper would rip. I would have to redo it over and over again. Another, problem was the black and white paint because I would accidentally paint the wrong part and would have to find a way to cover it up and fix it. Also, making the same colors of gray. With the line drawing I had a lot of problems getting the petals how I wanted them, it took a lot of time.

I was very happy with how my paintings went even though it took a lot of time. I could of worked more into better detail and more colors, but other than that I thought it came out better than I was planning it too.

The reason why I chose to do Kit-Kats is because I have been addicted to them for about a year now and I can't get enough of them. They are just so delicious and they make my day feel so much better when I take a bite. I think I'm a little to addicted so I'm trying to cut myself from them as well as I can. But, still be able to eat them just not as much. Another, reason is because I love how their commercial has the saying "Break Time Anytime" which I think is very true when you have the time take a break and eat something yummy. Chocolate is always good and drizzling melted crayon onto this project was a blast.

What I struggled on while doing this project was making the fake Kit-Kats on my mask, because they were made out of plaster, when they dried they would bend which made it hard to put onto my mask. Another big problem was finding enough crayons to make the chocolate but I fount a way that worked well using wax and brown crayon together. Also, the Kit-Kat wrappers when putting the hot glue onto them they would burn because of the hot glue gun being so hot. When trying to make the letter M was pretty difficult too.

When I was finally finished with this project I was very proud of myself. I thought I did a really good job and if I could do this project again I would do it on cheerleading because thats my next favorite thing to do as a sport.

The reason why I chose the word Sassy for my sign language piece was because it describes who I am. which is nice but also can be very sassy at times. Also, the designs I chose for the background were some simple but I thought were some really cool designs too. Another, reason why i chose this as my word was because they were simple words. Especially in such a short amount of time to do this project.

I struggled on making the hands because when I had to bend my fingers. When bending my fingers made it harder to draw because you have to make it look like the finger is bending but it was very difficult. Another, would be the zentangling in the background, it was hard to find a design that would work with the hands I chose, to make them pop out. Also, using the permanent marker gave me a headache from using it so much and when I messed up I couldn't erase it, I would just have to find a way to fix it. Something that was a struggle to me was having such a short amount of time to get this project done and have it in on time.

When I was finished I was very proud of how my hands came out because I'm not that well at drawing, especially hands. If I had the chance to do this project again I would take the offer and try even better next time.
