We're our own dragons as well as our own heroes, and we have to rescue ourselves from ourselves. Tom Robbins
I chose this art work because love is another thing I love to draw. It has a lot of ways to show it and they can be very creative. I think its neat to draw people because they aren't my best suit. My inspiration would probably be my best friend Chris. Hes been in my life for a while and he shows me what its like to truly love someone like a brother you've never had. I don't think I could get far if he wasn't my best friend. Then my family is another inspiration because without them I probably wouldn't have anyone who would truly be there for me through thick and thin. We all stick together no matter what happens. I used paint to color in my couple. I made them light colors because I think of love being a light orange or red. I colored my people black because I wanted the sun to be shining on them so its like the sun is basically making them into a shadow who will never separate from each other. This art piece means a lot to me not just because its about love but its more then just love to some people. Its not about having a boyfriend who makes you happy its more like a best friend you could never lose or the family some others don't have anymore. I get a feeling of being thankful for what I have in my life and what I know others don't have. If someone doesn't realize what they have tell them they have more then what some others have..

I made this collage just because i kind of needed an idea and I mean if you all haven't noticed, I'm weird as heck. So I was just sitting in the back thinking all day long and this whole thing came to my mind. I mean I really dont know why this was the one thing that stood out to me because so far this whole year, I've done some pretty normal things about like freedom and being captured and its just kind of gets this peaceful feelings but then here is the whole big next project where I just have this baby who eats people. I looked through I dont even know how many magazines I looked through because there wasnt all that many that worked with my piece. I had it started and had the baby glued onto the page but I kept looking in the magazines and later realized that as I went on I had way more ideas. Like the words on my piece, I did not plan for those to be on there in the very beginning but then as I went on they went with the project sooooo well so I had to find a place for them so I did! Just using gesso is kind of a pain just because it dries really fast when its not in a giant plot on your page where you put your brush. Once its on your page though, its difficult to move your pieces just because they end up sticking to the page and rip when trying to move them. But luckily for me when i placed all my pieces, I liked where they were. Magazines were just the worst thing in this project because when starting out, you have one main idea and its how you want it to look but then later it looks different because you get different ideas. I really do love how this piece turned out, I didnt think it would turn out so well but it really did and I was impressed with it. I just wish the page wouldnt have bent so much because of the gesso. I also kind of thought about my niece as I went through this piece just because shes kind of evil herself and she is still pretty young. She likes to torture me when she stays at my house for two weeks and I hate/love it at the same time. I get along with her an it all just kind of makes me think of my sister and I when we were younger.

I made this piece just because I like to write, draw zombies. I just have this thing for the living dead. I like to watch the walking dead with my family so I figured for my infographic I would do something on zombies. I got inspired by that and also how everyone is always on their phone so I figured Id add how to survive the zombie apocalypse by using a cellphone or any technology. I used a lot of tools, I had to draw all my art work first on paper because it would of been too complicated to draw straight onto the computer. After I was done drawing, I scanned everything on to the computer and traced it then had to color it in by filling in every shape. That was sort of hard for me because I didn't fill in all the shapes when I was tracing so some of the shapes would get filled in weirdly but then after a while I fixed them all and it turned out pretty well. I really like this piece more then anything I have done all my years in art. I think the 3 or 4 weeks I spent working on it was way too much worth it. Usually I'm always rushing on my art so I can get it done but this one I took my time on it because I really liked my idea of it and it looks way better then I thought it would just because I'm not all that good drawing on the computer. I would of never of had the chance to draw this is I hadn't taken graphic design and people who were in it last year said illustrator sucked and I understand why they said that but I think I got the hang of it. Even though I did make a lot of things more complicated on myself then they should of been.

ALRIGHT IM SO READY FOR THIS WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! For this project I chose to be a food photographer for like a week and thinking of ideas is so hard. There's a lot of things that kind of needs to be done for this sort of job but first you need to be good at cooking food and or just taking pictures of food. I loved this project just because I legit get a grade for taking pictures of something I was going to eat. It's also kind of fun to make food look appetizing so I enjoyed that part of it as well. As we all know I LOVE food, food is the best thing to ever be invented or found. I would do anything for food that's why I chose this art topic all the others. Well before I actually took the picture of a sandwich from family table, I was planning on cooking something. So obviously you would need ingredients if you were planning on cooking the food yourself. The things I used was just money because we bought food from a restaurant and I don't actually have a good camera because I'm poor and don't ever use one so I used my phones camera. Lucky for me I have a pretty good camera on the LG 4 so it turned out pretty good. I played with my moms food for around five minutes because it was messy before I made it appetizing. She did get upset I chose to play with her food so much but I don't care. And I took a few pictures with angles to see the different and they were right top view is not a good one and you should always take from the side or some sort of angle. I'm so glad that I got to chose to do food because I really do love it a lot. I also liked it because I do like taking photos and wish that our school had a photographer class because I would definitely be involved in that. I've always kind of wanted to learn how to take pretty good photos and I learned a lot about it just from taking pictures of food. There are a lot more tips that I will learn and I'm excited to take some time sometime and learn about them because this is something I would love to do on my free time.
