Personal Portrait
The purpose of our personal portrait was to create a piece that can describe who we are as a person. I decided to incorporate my culture into my personal portrait. Materials I used in this piece were tempera paint, a black sharpie marker, and colored pencils.
Vision Board 3 Ways
The purpose of the vision board was to create a piece where we practice drawing the same things we see from the original piece. Having the vision board piece also allows us to come back for ideas out of this piece that we could use for inspiration when we're stuck. Materials I used in this piece were magazine cut-outs, a sharpie marker, and a pencil.
Final Still Life
The purpose of the final still life was so we could draw objects that have a great meaning to us. We had to relate our still life in a way to our choice artist by using similar techniques they use in their still life pieces. The materials I used in this piece was a blue pen, white out, and a pencil for shading and some value.
Yarn Art
The purpose of the yarn art piece was to create something out of our comfort zone with the use of yarn. I struggled on keeping the yarn to stay glued into the tag board. The materials I used were blue yarn, a pencil, and tag board.
Social Justice Block Print
The purpose of this unit was choosing a social justice topic of our choice to research about and make an art piece from the research we've been inspired by. My topic was Femicide in Mexico since it's a social justice issue that is often overlooked by authorities. The materials I used for my art piece were a linoleum plate, linoleum gouge, bench hook, barren, brayer, blue ink and a palette knife.
Social Justice Final Composition
The purpose of this unit was choosing a social justice topic of our choice to research about and make an art piece from the research we've been inspired by. My topic was Femicide in Mexico since it's a social justice issue that is often overlooked by authorities. The materials I used for my art piece were the linoleum plate prints, black poster paper, images of women who were a victim of femicide and glue dots.
Student Art Show
The purpose of the student art show was to display our art work in the cafeteria for others to see. I was unable to attend the student art show but I left some of my pieces to be put up which was the yarn art piece, the still life piece, and the vision board. Since I have no pictures of the art show, I have provided an image taken from the school website of someone else's displayed art.
