I was confused about what my artwork was gonna be. With some help, Mrs Garrity came up with the idea to do scratch art. I liked it because I was able to trace the drawing and then use my artistic ability for the rest. Then I looked over at Colton's artwork, and he was drawing a shoe, so I decided I wanted to too. I started by tracing the chalk onto the black paper. This was the easiest part of the whole drawing. I kept a steady hand and made it as accurate as possible. Next, I had to start the scratching. This was difficult; I wanted the scratch to look good and not dumb, but this was my first time doing this. After I had to come up with a background, I wanted to create a kind of sloppy one that would fit a dystopian vibe. I think it worked. The artwork shows that something so simple could be so meaningful. The most difficult thing was scratching; it was hard to find the right tool and not get a sloppy, undetailed scratch. I would change my background a little bit. I just messed up on my spots around the shoe. I'd say my art is abstract. I just did some different things for the background.

 My idea came from Mrs Davis. She came into placing objects onto the desk. I then had to draw what I saw. I started by sketching the still-life objects. I was taught a technique to hold the pencil light and to just copy what I was seeing. I was taught how to make the objects look more prepectivly correct by many different methods. It was alot of trial and error, but Mrs Davis finally gave me the go on my final draft. I carefully started sketching the objects. Trying to make them as realistic to the world as possible. Next, I had to Sharpie all of my lines. Then I had to draw on my 9 lines randomly. Finally, I had to color it in. The audience should think about how any still-life object can be a drawing. Something so simple can still be an artwork; you have to make it. The most difficult for me was getting the objects to look realistic. The overlap was hard, so making the objects the correct size with depth was tough. I think my artwork was abstract due to all of the lines and the changing colors. 

I wanted to draw something I was passionate about, so I chose one of my favorite hobbies, golf. I wanted to draw a golf course, so I decided on Augusta National, home of the masters. Its a very pretty course with lots of different colors and vegetation.  I started by going from the bottom to the top, drawing every detail. There were a lot of different colors, and they all kind of blended, so it was very tough to sketch out the details. I next started coloring the drawing with oil pastels. I started with the green vegetation at the top and moved my way down the drawing.  I had to work on the reflection from the water, and it was very difficult for me. I tried blending to make it as realistic as possible. The artwork shows the beauty of golf, golf isn't just a sport its a time in nature, and its very peaceful. The most difficult thing for me was blending the colors so it looked like vegetation instead of just blobs of color. Getting it to look realistic is difficult. I'd say my drawing was a realistic drawing.
