I got this idea from the ocean. I wanted to do something with blue and thought of jellyfish because it's my favorite animal, I also sketch jellyfish a lot.  I used a white colored pencil to outline it and the lines. I used dark blue first on the flare parts then added lighter blue to blend it in, they added the white. Then I worked on the head part and then I just added more details and whatever looked good. I want people to see it as the ocean is pretty and any animal can be and it's not just poisonous. From going to paintings that didn't need or have much detail or blending it took longer and made it look better with the more work I was putting into it. The most difficult was getting everything alike and not knowing how to do it. Or when I had to match the main color I needed when I ran out of it. If I could change I would try having the head match the blue on the bottom a little more but it still doesn't look too bad. It's realistic but not cause no jellyfish happens to look the same as that. I love the way the colors blend in and it looks like it flows out with the lighting and colors.

This idea was from Burbach. There are painted ceiling tiles all around the school. Burbach lets kids take hers and paint them. She let me take one and let me paint it. Since it was gonna be high up in the ceiling I wanted to do a sun and moon. I had a pencil to outline everything forst and then started to paint the sun and moon first. I then did the background color and added details and swirls after. When people see this I want people to be supprised and have a pop when you look up. The most difficult part were the hole in the ceiling tile and getting in the crevis. The color matching werent hard and made it have lines and not blended. I dont like the swirls on the blue side and wished i made it look diffrently.

 I got the idea to do this because I saw a picture of a butterfly and I wanted to use the color blue. I looked up a shape to use for the butterfly and then another one for designs. I started painting the background color and blended a lighter color towards the middle on the top and bottom. Then I painted the designs. I want it to have people think of it as a butterfly. I think I grew the most with the sketching first, and the blending. I used acrylic paint and a colored pencil to sketch it out. I like painting
